How to Succeed in the House of the Year Competition
Insights from Maddren Homes
On 31st January, our Managing Director, Keegan Anderson, had the honour of being a guest speaker at the “How to Succeed in the House of the Year Competition” evening. It was a privilege to share Maddren Homes’ journey and provide valuable tips to fellow builders and designers aiming for excellence.
Lessons from a Multi-Award-Winning Builder
At Maddren Homes, we understand what it takes to create award-winning homes. While every competition entry is unique, a few key factors consistently stand out:
Attention to Design Detail – From architectural features to interior finishes, judges notice the thoughtfulness and craftsmanship in every corner.
Innovative Use of Space – Creative layouts and smart use of functional spaces can elevate a home’s impact.
Quality Materials and Workmanship – High-quality products paired with expert construction are essential to impress judges.
Client-Centric Design – Homes that reflect the lifestyle and personality of the owners often resonate most with both judges and the public.
Sharing Our Journey
During the event, Keegan discussed Maddren Homes’ approach to design and build excellence, how we collaborate with clients, and what it takes to produce homes worthy of House of the Year awards. It was an opportunity to highlight the dedication, teamwork, and innovation that goes into every Maddren project.
