AWARDS | WHAT THE JUDGES ARE SAYING
The jury was impressed with the attention to detail and incorporation of a range of energy and water efficient ideas, as well as flexible floor plan arrangements providing a choice in intergenerational and live-work opportunities.
The self-contained nature of each pavilion, including the retention of off-street carparking, makes this an attractive model for [ downsizers ] who want freehold, villa-style living.
The freestanding nature of each pavilion allows each building to capture light and breezes on all four sides – important in our subtropical and tropical environments.
This approach also provides the possibility for sub-staging and incremental take up that is not often an option with other higher density housing types.
