Prize
Winner

This building has undergone a major transformation after a number of conversions since it was originally constructed in 1926 and demonstrates an exceptional level of detailing by the builder as well as an excellent collaborative relationship between the builder, developer and architect.  The poorly planned apartment block was converted was transformed into a grand contemporary home befitting its elevated position in Vaucluse. Most of the three storey masonry structure was kept, with new concrete structures added externally and through the first floor, creating a new entry and stairs at the rear as well as new terraces, pool and planters covering the garage at the front. The gross floors areas are 660 square metres internally plus 125 square metres in the garage area in addition to the 140 square metres in three discrete external living areas. Much of the building was reclad in extruded foam panels to improve thermal performance and then rendered with a coloured acrylic and quartz to provide a contemporary finish.
