Sekisui’s Sommers Bend wins top Japanese construction honor
Sommers Bend, a 57-home master-planned community in Temecula, California, and Sekisui House’s first SHAWOOD development in the U.S., has received the Award of Excellence in the Construction and Development Project category at the 9th JAPAN Construction International Award, the first time a detached-home community has earned the honor. The project was recognized for combining the firm’s S-MJ structural system with local 2×4 methods, delivering ZEH-level homes with standard solar and battery storage, and emphasizing durability, disaster resilience and reduced construction waste through factory pre-cutting. MLIT also cited the company’s technology transfer to local labor and its community-focused Experience Center. Sommers Bend has already picked up multiple U.S. industry awards, and Sekisui House plans to scale SHAWOOD primarily along the West Coast, targeting 3,000 U.S. homes annually by 2031, offering a replicable model for high-performance, resilient detached housing.
