Applauded for its bold and future-facing approach to housing delivery last year, Harcourt Technologies was named winner of Housing Project of the Year – Medium at the Building & Architect of the Year Awards 2025 for the Grange Close 3DCP Housing Project in Dundalk, Co. Louth.

Delivered in collaboration with Louth County Council and Roadstone Ltd, the project marks a milestone in Irish construction as the country’s first social housing scheme built using 3D Construction Printing (3DCP) technology. The development comprises three terraced homes constructed with ready-mix concrete.

The project illustrates the practical potential of 3D printing to transform standardised housing delivery and the scheme offers a compelling blueprint for addressing housing demand through innovative methods that reduce waste, shorten build times, and maintain high standards of durability and design.

“This initiative delivered a truly groundbreaking approach to construction,” the judges said. “It showcases the potential of 3D printing to revolutionise housing delivery. By committing to this forward-thinking process, the project team has set a remarkable precedent for the future of housing in Ireland and beyond.”

Harcourt Technologies’ win highlights the evolving standards of the Building & Architect of the Year Awards, where innovation, sustainability, and real-world impact are increasingly central to excellence in the built environment. 

Carrying the momentum of 2025 forward, attention now turns to 2026: which projects will build on this precedent and further redefine how homes are designed, constructed, and delivered in a rapidly changing sector?

Finalists for the 2026 awards will be announced on 19 February, with winners celebrated at the Awards Gala on 23 April, bringing together Ireland’s leading architects, designers, engineers, and built environment professionals.
