Seamans Building are thrilled to have won a prestigious local construction award alongside a world-renowned architect.

Our team, together with Quinlan Terry Architects LLP, were the proud recipients of this year’s Craftsmanship Award at the Suffolk Joint Construction Committee (SJCC) Awards, honouring the finest design and craft in Suffolk.

The award was in recognition of our work on Tiverton House, a stunning property in Aldeburgh built following the English Palladian Country House tradition.

Ben Whatling, our Special Works Director, said: “We are honoured to take home this prestigious award together with Roger Barrell and David Jones at Quinlan Terry Architects.

“Together we have created an incredible property which perfectly captures the grandeur and beauty of a Georgian country home.

“The project took an immense level of hard work and attention to detail from our team and supply chain partners – and as always, our commitment to excellence shone throughout. We couldn’t be prouder of the results.

“A huge congratulations go to all the fellow winners showcasing the incredible talent on display across our county.”

Completed in 2023, Tiverton House is built using Flemish Bond buff brickwork in hydraulic lime and sand mortar with penny joining to both bed and perp joints.

Its magnificent facade is complete with pistol brick arches, stone cills and pediments, earning it national attention and award glory from the Georgian Society.

Together with Quinlan Terry CBE, Roger and the team at Quinlan Terry have gained worldwide recognition for their work in the New Classical Style, with King Charles III highlighting Quinlan as his ‘favourite architect’.

Tiverton House is one of many bespoke new build homes we have worked on in recent years, ranging from barn conversions to contemporary homes of distinction.
