All In-House
Our integrated approach allows us to create beautiful spaces for modern living.
Placing the interior spatial experience at the heart of our process, we apply a human approach to designing buildings, seeking to create a beautiful way of life for those who will live in our homes. So we were thrilled to be recognised with two awards at The Evening Standard’s 2022 New Home Awards, which is judged by both readers of the newspaper and industry experts.
Firstly, we took home the award for Best First-time Buyer Home for Vabel Lawrence, our project in Seven Sisters, North London. The category was for reasonably priced, outstanding starter homes that do not compromise on design, style and construction quality.
“Housebuilders who get it right construct homes that are good value yet don’t stint on style. A modern take on warehouse living, this scheme particularly impressed our judges with its creative, high-quality, design-focused approach.”Evening Standard on Vabel Lawrence
Creative Director, Jeremy Spencer receiving the award.As we design and construct every detail of the buildings, we were so pleased that the judges recognised that our craftspeople work to exacting standards, with care and dedication to ensure the finish of each element is in keeping with our elevated designs.
Secondly, our project Vabel Chamberlayne in Kensal Green was awarded Best Small Development, and described by the paper as “hip, minimal flats in an ultra-modern new building.” This award was for developments or conversions of up to 60 homes that create a sense of place and allows residents to feel part of a community.
“Our judges loved the distinctive architecture of this block, with its veil of metalwork, as well as the spacious, well-designed apartments overlooking courtyard gardens.”Evening Standard on Vabel Chamberlayne

We were thrilled to celebrate how the project is connected to its environment and embedded in the local neighbourhood. We know how important it is to feel connected, so we carefully orientate and design our spaces and landscaping to facilitate new social interactions and improve wellbeing.
The Evening Standard 2022 New Homes Awards were announced in October 2022. To learn more about our design ethos and what’s important to us get in touch.

The Vabel co-founders on the origins of their collaboration and their innovative vision of what new homes can be. We explore their fresh approach to how spaces are designed and built, and ultimately how they feel to live in.

We sit down to speak with Max Bontoft, our Project Architect and recent New York City marathon finisher, about his journey to Vabel and how his love affair with running may have something to do with his commitment to quality and reputation amongst colleagues, for going above and beyond.
