The annual Houses Awards uncover the very best Australian residential architecture and design – and this year is no exception! Juror (and 2017 winner of House of the Year) Stuart Vokes of Vokes and Peters explained ‘Australia is witnessing a growing diversity of housing product as a consequence of changing social and economic forces. Architects are responding with exciting examples of innovative typologies, diverse spatial scales and socially responsible models evident amongst this year’s awarded projects and practices.’
The 2018 Australian House of the Year, by Peter Stutchbury Architecture perfectly captures these qualities of innovation and aspirational design. The jurors described sculptural home, which cascades down the face of a rock shelf, as a ‘physical manifestation of the character of its place.’
