RECOGNISING GOOD BUILDING DESIGN IN AUSTRALIA

Building designer /Proper noun/ A Building Designer is a person who is: • Professionally trained to visualise and create detailed designs, bringing residential and commercial buildings to life, starting with a single, sketched line.

• Qualified to prepare documentation and oversee delivery of simple residential additions to complex multi-level buildings and everything between.

• Experienced in balancing clients’ needs, budgets, timelines and striving for sustainability.

• Committed to adhering to building regulations, upholding a professional code of ethics, and continuing their professional development.

• Passionate about good design and taking building design to the next level.

Design Matters National embeds the appreciation of good building design into Australian culture. We bring together eight branches of the built environment, and build value for the building design profession through education, collaboration, advocacy and action.

1996 doesn’t feel that long ago for some of us.

Back then, I was working in an architectural company on a 24-storey commercial merger of three businesses into one building, with a facilities manager from New York and loving every bit of my job.

Twenty-five years ago, Ikea was HUGE, hot desking was cool, “Friends” was watched nightly, industrial finishes and textures were being used more in interiors, Michael Jordan was still playing for the Chicago Bulls, “Independence Day” was the most popular movie of the year, “Oprah” was a daily must, Charles & Diana got divorced along with Lisa Marie & Michael Jackson, NASA launched the STS-72 Space Shuttle mission, AutoCAD was still the preferred drafting program, Nintendo 64 gaming console was first released, business was booming, Friday longlunches were still a thing, Martin Bryant changed our country, the Power Macintosh was launched, the Roos won their third premiership flag, “Trainspotting” was released, The Spice Girls were it, lime green was the ‘accent’ colour, and we danced to The Prodigy’s “Firestarter”.

It just seems like yesterday, but 25 years ago the BDAV had its first Awards ceremony. And, every year since, we have celebrated our Members’ incredible projects and recognised the key players of our industry. There really can be no doubt that the Awards not only showcased our Members but also provided the Association with work we could be proud of, projects Members can be inspired by, and proof to industry and government we are a group to be taken seriously.

This year, we are once again celebrating the achievements of many of our Members. The impact the Awards have had on previous winners has been monumental and this year, again, with the quality of work, we can predict with confidence the business growth of our entrants and winners.

This year, we’re also looking to the next level and where we are taking Design Matters National.

Hopefully, with 2020 behind us, we can plan for a better New Year. None of us planned for a year like this and many of us have struggled to stay afloat.

As an association, We are proud of the support and fighting spirit of our Members. On a positive note, COVID-19 helped us to uncover our strengths and weaknesses. Never before have Members needed support from us as they have this past year. Despite all the changes, the team at Design Matters National, led by CEO Peta Anderson: • Created a vehicle to communicate with other Members when face-to-face networking was not possible; • Provided advice on the changing face of the industry, work and staff; • Set up a private Facebook group (Design Matters Member Only) where Members could share concerns and ask questions of their peers; • Made call-outs and phone calls to colleagues to check if they’re OK; • Arranged an Awards ceremony when a face-to-face event was not possible; • Set up systems, like month-to-month payments, to ensure Members had access to membership; and • Created CPDs for the wellbeing of our minds and businesses.

Design Matters National has been the anchor through the last six months, with its adaptable and creative team, streamlined structure and enthusiastic and strategic leadership. We intend to continue and to build on this support, with your assistance.

In the next 12 months, every Member will need stamina and persistence. You will need to keep an eye out for colleagues who require help to get back on track. You will need patience to hear what others are saying and be creative in your solutions.

We cannot predict how this situation will pan out, how we will come through it and how industry will adapt, but I am confident that whatever is thrown at us, our Building Design community will flourish due to our strong mateship and dedication.

Congratulations to all the entrants and winners of the 25th Awards. We are proud to promote and recognise your talents. It is your hard work that proves to new clients and the greater industry that we will remain a building design community to be acknowledged and respected.

The home is located in the pioneering eco residential community of Mullum Creek in Melbourne’s leafy Donvale, where the central aim is to set, trial and demonstrate new standards of environmentally sensitive design.

Designed as an environmentally conscious modernist home, this compact, three-bedroom project delivers sustainable outcomes from the ground up and exudes quality down to the finest detail.

The house may be small in footprint – 183m2 plus garage and store, on a 1204m2 block – but it delivers world-leading outcomes.

This unique home nestles into the site and contextually delivers a very high standard of living for the occupants. Being an air-tight home, a heat recovery ventilation unit has been installed, supplying fresh filtered air to all habitable rooms meaning occupants enjoy year-round comfort of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.

The home is located in the pioneering eco residential community of Mullum Creek in Melbourne’s leafy Donvale, where the central aim is to set, trial and demonstrate new standards of environmentally sensitive design.

Homes designed for Mullum Creek are required to adhere to 65 Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) principles including energy efficiency and solar power, water conservation, sustainable building materials, and bestpractice construction techniques.

10 ISSUE 5

Each aspect of the home has been carefully considered, not only for its aesthetic and sustainability outcomes, but for its ability to achieve the stringent requirements of the German Passivhaus Plus standard.

11 ISSUE 5

14 ISSUE 05 5

As a ‘certified’ Passivhaus, the quality assurance of this project far exceeds local requirements through a series of independent tests, certification and commissioning reports, photographic evidence of detail compliance and 3rd party certifier reviews.

The modernist home is effectively divided into two ‘wings’, with the east-west ‘living’ wing partially covered by a green roof and northern wing containing three bedrooms and associated bathrooms. The northern wing is bound by a subtle curving insulated rammed earth wall that matches the alignment of the western street boundary.

Utilising the slope of the site to create an earth berm and green roof on the south of the home afforded a significant insulation boost along with acoustic and visual privacy from vehicles travelling down the hill towards the dwelling.

The living areas open to the north and east sides, with additional privacy provided by the western, rammed-earth wall and associated bedroom ‘wing’.

15 ISSUE 5

The home is semi-submerged into the landscape, on the south, reducing the impact and visual bulk of the building by integrating it into the existing topography.

Through an approved waste management plan, 90 per cent of all construction waste was recycled during construction and due to the prefabricated wall and roof system, site waste was further reduced compared to typical construction methods.

Site sediment and run-off were contained using strawbales to the north and eastern boundaries.

Even irrigation pipes excavated on site are being sculpted for public spaces to reflect the orchardist history of the estate.

16 ISSUE 5

As a timelessly styled and low-energy home, this project will be as relevant in 100 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time, as it is now - such is the integrity of the structure and overall building performance.

A modern take on a warehouse-themed façade, in a residential setting.

On first glance of this double-storey family home, its bold, one-off custom design with a saw-tooth façade tells you that, inside, it’s going to give the modern industrial style a strong nod.

Exposed steel in key areas of the home creates industrial-feel focal points from the front to the back of the house. The first of these focal points is the stairs and balustrade in the entry. The second is at the rear of the home in the living room/alfresco area, with the exposed steel running from inside to outside, and the floor-to-ceiling glass with integrated steel beams.

Exposed steel in key areas of the home creates industrial-feel focal points from the front to the back of the house.

Recycled brick has been used externally and internally, and there is abundant natural light in every corner of the home.

A lot has been fitted into just 257m2 of living space: four bedrooms, three separate living areas, two and a half bathrooms and a study, and all of them generously sized.

At 500m2, the site is compact but through clever design the designer was able to achieve a beautiful, bespoke home, within a tight budget, with adequate outside space for the family to enjoy.

The brief for Owl Woods Passive House was for a beautiful, tree-change home going above and beyond expectations of what sustainable architecture is.

The home has a modest footprint, favouring quality over quantity, and is very functional, while allowing flexibility for future needs.

The layout is pavilion-style, with central living areas, a private bedroom zone located via a link to the west, and a study/guest wing to the east.

Rooms are designed to interact with courtyards, intimate garden spaces, and connect with the landscape beyond.

At an altitude of 700m above sea level, the area has snow in winter and 40 degree-Celsius temperatures in summer. Keeping indoor temperatures at the desired 20-25 degrees Celsius without active heating and cooling presented a challenge. The solution was to aim for the Passivhaus standard.

The design evolved beyond simple Passive Solar Design concepts, to become an internationally Certified Passivhaus, strongly focused on occupant comfort and health, with very low energy-use and running costs.

25 ISSUE 5

WINNER New House $500K-$1M Talina Edwards Architecture

The siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bushfire Attack Level rating of BAL29 required greater attention to detail to the siting of the house, and appropriate material selection.

Owl Woods Passive House demonstrates that the stringent requirements to achieve certification can work in harmony with design excellence.

Undulating Cubes blurs the lines between a home and a sculpture.

Its design shapes, angles and construes the rectilinear form into different profiles to embed into the surrounding landscape.

At its core, the design of Undulating Cubes maintains its primary aim of functionality as a residence.

The challenges of such a home was its enormity and how to break it down, hence the idea of creating varying forms to achieve the right balance and proportions.

The orientation was a concern, and how to best implement the passive design and maintain connection with the pool and the outdoor areas.

The result was the front glazed feature and highlight windows over the dining area.

Seemingly chaotic lines mark the wall and front door, but the mullions and panels are well placed to integrate into the form.

The sharp fall towards the rear of the 14,000m2 site enabled the designer to take advantage of the views of the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. The home has a swimming pool and tennis court. Opting to position the home on the north-east side of the lot meant garages and the farm equipment room could be positioned out of sight.

Undulating Cubes connects the home to the curve of the land to create a deliberate contrast with its orchestrated geometric forms, expressed as varied cubes protruding independently.

A re-vamp of this tired, Inverloch beach home to modernise it throughout, led to the entire rear of the house being gutted, redesigned and renovated to create a light, modern and functional family home.

The resulting split-level floor plan has been designed to accommodate a family over time, resolving the changing requirements of privacy and independence.

By amplifying the sense of internal living space with 3.6m ceilings and seamlessly connecting the lower level to the outdoor deck area, an expanse of entertaining space has been created.

The beautifully enhanced entry sets the tone for a contemporary addition to a coastal home.

Strident lines and contrasting materials create a contemporary beach house composition whilst respecting the natural coastal setting.

Bird St Project incorporates perforated steel panels to define zones without compromising the connectivity of the living areas.

This beautiful extension hasn’t come at the cost of outdoor space. It integrates seamlessly with its landscape, connects indoors and out, allows for northern light and natural ventilation and is detailed with sustainable materials.

Ample amenity includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious, naturally-lit living areas with strong connections to north-facing garden areas. Spaces are multi-functional and will adapt to the owners’ lifestyle and needs over time.

A gorgeous, small-footprint home that significantly improves the solar orientation, thermal performance, comfort, daylight, ventilation, views and connection to the outdoors, whilst preserving the existing streetscape and built form heritage of the neighbourhood, and not using tonnes of new materials and land in the process.

The salvaging of demolished materials for appropriate re-use and recycling further conserved embodied energy and reduced waste.

Spaces are multi-functional, and will adapt to the owners’ lifestyle and needs over time.

The new extension to the rear of the home is positioned towards the southern boundary to make the most of the northern light without overshadowing the neighbour.

The entire home, not merely the extension component, was upgraded to improve environmental performance and energy efficiency, achieving a 77 per cent reduction in heating and cooling loads.

Preference was given to paints, oils, sealants and glues that are made with renewable raw plant materials, and are recyclable, biodegradable and emit no harmful substances.

It creates its own sense of address, whilst still ensuring the neighbouring amenity is protected and the diverse neighbourhood character is respected.

It also responds to the form, scale setbacks and siting of the development in the streetscape.

The utilisation of the entire site without major impact on adjoining residences has enabled well-proportioned rooms creating wonderful volumes of space with an abundance of natural light, together with a flexible, open-plan first-floor plan, with a north-facing aspect/courtyard garden.

WINNER Bathroom Nagy Design

Designer Nagy Design Web nagydesign.com.au Builder Becker Builders Photographer Brett Holmberg

but also for delighting the senses

+ A light-filled space, with beautiful shelving and well-executed tiling

+ An innovative and fitting winner.

Raw Reflection achieves design excellence by providing comfort and functionality, while creating unbelievable aesthetic impact.

Show-stopping sculptural pieces transform the bathroom into a unique space that provides a special connection for the family.

The result is understated luxury within simplicity in a composition of organic shapes and the raw beauty of natural materials.

Efficient use of space to greatly increase and enhance functionality of both rooms, effectively doubles up on the existing features within the extremely limited space available.

Exploring the possibilities of form, Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete was pushed beyond its conventional limitations to release its functional and artistic potential.

Innovative use of clear and mirror glazing (clear glazed bath side, wide splashback and highlight windows, mirror cabinets, frameless shower screens) results in maximum light and visual expanse.

The vibe is at once welcoming, relaxed and connected. Raw beauty is reflected in every aspect of this project.

WYNDHAM BEACH HOUSE The interiors of this seaside home benefit from thoughtfully placed full-height windows that flood the living spaces with natural light and provide a continual connection between inside and outside.

The bespoke coating timber staircase forms a beautiful centrepiece to a luxury family home characterised by simplicity of forms, continuous flow of spaces and the natural warmth of timber to reflect the beauty of the natural surrounds captured in extensive window openings.

The kitchen and bathrooms connect to the central staircase via a continued use of timber, giving natural warmth to these highly functional and carefully planned areas of the home.

Timber has been paired with marble-look â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Calacattaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; large format porcelain tiles to give a luxurious edge to the restrained materials palette used throughout the home.

Though Wyndham Beach House is quite compact in size, a wonderful sense of space has been achieved in the interiors through the use of high ceilings, carefully placed glazing to maximise natural light to take advantage of stunning views, and design features, such as the floating staircase, wall-hung vanities in the bathrooms and a cohesive and harmonious colour and materials palette.

The timber screening on the kitchen ceiling, wrapping down to form a bookshelf, serves to create a continuous flow and establish an ambience of natural warmth through the open kitchen, dining and living space to the timber entertaining deck outdoors.

1 NELSON ST RINGWOOD + A very complex project + A good example of multi-unit development + Modern and sophisticated - where occupants will certainly live in style.

1 Nelson St Ringwood, in Melbourne’s east, presents an opportunity for investment, and ‘community within a community’ living.

The development has 110 residential apartments across two, separate yet connected buildings, with a common ground floor, double-height entrance foyer, and a two-level basement car park.

When Council permission for removal of an established lemon-scented gum tree was not granted, the design response was to create two separate buildings on either side of the protected gum.

A boulevard dividing the building was created with the intent to soften the development’s bulk and appearance, reducing the building mass.

The building is predominantly concrete precast and the metallic copper cladding is the building’s signature feature.

Located in the established, conservative suburb of Ivanhoe, the 827m2 site sits within the periphery of the Lower Ivanhoe Commercial Precinct where higher-density residential development reinforces a desirable streetscape character and promotes increased activity and passive surveillance to the small commercial hub.

Ivanhoe Hybridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gentle curves featured in the hard landscaping and cantilevered building elements draw the eye inwards and upwards.

The prominent concrete render elements with curved edges appear to float and contrast nicely with the heavily textured brickwork.

Consisting of eight, triple-storey dwellings (five, two-bedroom; two, two-bedroom plus study; and one, three-bedroom), Ivanhoe Hybrid is an excellent example of an infill development utilising a clear, consistent architectural language to enhance the eclectic streetscape.

62 ISSUE 5

The building has a scale and articulation appropriate for its context and is visually engaging, with a number of Art Deco stylistic cues, such as strong, horizontal lines, feature cantilevers softened with gentle curves, black fenestration and accents of glass bricks that complement the surrounding high-end modest shops and residential buildings of Lower Heidelberg Road.

Designer Rachcoff Vella Architecture Web rachcoffvella.com.au Builder Whelan Master Builders Landscape Designer Paul Pritchard Landscapes Structural Engineer Keith Patrick & Associates Photographer Tatjana Plitt

HMAS L02 takes its name from the Williamstown shipyards and the construction of HMAS Canberra, an aircraft carrier, which was being built at the time of this project.

The legacy and history of boat building locally and this aircraft carrier were driving influences when approaching this design challenge.

The striking bow and overall form of HMAS Canberra was referenced when designing the form of the building. The skewed and slanted shape provided the perfect solution to tapering side setbacks and a north-facing eave overhang/sunshade.

Williamstown has always been synonymous with ship building and to pay homage to this, felt appropriate and gave the project a strong connection to its location.

Along with its contextual roots, this project put forward solutions that challenged the status quo, single-fronted cottage terrace.

Turning the front three rooms into a large, open-plan master bedroom suite appeared at odds to the heritage norms however, by placing contemporary joinery and fixtures such as loose furniture, wrapped by traditional detailing, allowed this contradiction to work, having a mutual respect for each other.

MULTIFUNCTION. GARDEN STUDIO SPACE + Light-filled, relaxed + Beautifully detailed + The innovative planning allows the heritage home to stand alone while adding a contemporary level of living.

MultiFunction is a renovation and extension of a freestanding, two-storey building, as a compact, adaptable studio for use as an office, small home or home office. It includes a new, double-height timber-framed glazed façade overlooking a garden setting with a mature melia (white cedar) tree.

The alterations included the removal of a firstfloor bridge that connected the building to a neighbouring warehouse, with re-use of much of the removed structure.

Composition, both of the building form as well as the interior fit out, was an important part of the design concept. The building extension is approximately half the size of the original building but with double the visual ‘density’ through combinations of materials and detail.

This creates a finely balanced interface between the new and original build.

This creates a finely balanced interface between the new and original build.

Materially, the interior oak panelling and perforated panel joinery provide a refined counter balance to the more architectural, utilitarian floor pavers, brick, steel and block work aesthetic. The panelling is laid out with a subtle but defined 3mm shadow gap, creating a crafted, bespoke interior that offsets the more rigorous building envelope, and provides a level of warmth, character and domesticity that befits both office and home.

70 ISSUE 5

Panelling and perforation also contribute to the theme of grid-like compositions of materials that run through both the exterior and interior of the building and help to differentiate the original building with the new additions.

71 ISSUE 5

Sustainability issues were incorporated from the outset, firstly by analysing the merits of re-use of existing versus specifying new.

The re-use of existing materials outweighed the option to replace, when employing a holistic approach - accounting for longevity, quality of products and construction, embodied energy use, and minimisation of waste to landfill.

MultiFunction combines improvements to the existing building (insulation, air tightness, LED lighting), with higher-performing new additions (highest spec. insulation; air tightness and ventilation; double-glazed thermally-broken façade with integrated, external venetian blind; PV solar panels; and rainwater collection).

From a site context perspective, the overall design of the building (both original and additions) is architecturally robust reflecting the inner-city laneway location, with the interior providing an engaging counterpoint.

The new, engineered timber façade embodies this approach, being both bold and robust yet warm, and introducing a human scale that transitions to the interior. This transition theme is also relevant to the site surrounds as the building is perfectly positioned between large warehouse buildings directly to the south and east, and smaller residential dwellings to the north and west.

It was important to design around the spectacular white cedar tree and enjoy its beauty through a new, glazed façade.

The double-height interior void includes an internal balcony that allows you to be immersed in the canopy of the tree whilst inside the building – blurring the inside and outside in the process and creating a tree-house-like space to work in.

The new building fully exploits its location and orientation. It was the desire of the school to take advantage of the new facility being detached and make a bold and striking addition to the school’s built environment, one that visually represented the artistic endeavours taking place within it.

A plaza and covered arbor lead to a generous, double-height Agora. A fully-glazed space supports active and passive use, acting as a dramatically engaging entry and working with the rejuvenated landscaping around the building to link the wider campus.

Thoughtful use of internal volumes offered additional opportunity. Double-height volumes pull light deep inside the building. Lowerceilinged spaces provide a base for the spaces above them, including the multi-levelled main music room with its tiered orchestra and instrument set-up space. The Agora and light-well offer opportunities to introduce sound and lighting to performances as well as a range of viewing and staging options.

74 ISSUE 5

The striking design of the new building incorporates playful references to musicality through the use of material and colour, while the design fully exploits its location and orientation, weaving into the fabric of the existing campus and providing a vibrant, healthy and sustainable environment that responds flexibly to current and future performing arts requirements.

75 ISSUE 5

An abstract pattern derived from a musical note is reflected throughout the interior in its raw and painted ply finishings, furniture and carpeting as well as externally in the colourful feature fins and brickwork, incorporating subtle playful references to musicality.

The external landscape has been designed thoughtfully to provide an independent passive recreational space; the opportunity for both active and passive congregation: the ability to stage outdoor summer performances; as well as maintaining safe and convenient vehicular access for pick up and drop off.

Above all, the new building encourages all students to actively engage with drama and music. It is welcoming and highly fit for purpose, allowing students to access top-class equipment and facilities to further their artistic ambitions.

The challenge in the brief was creating a space within a small footprint where the team at Concrete Collective could demonstrate and celebrate the limitless opportunities they deliver, without having to leave their factory.

Concrete Collective have a little, north-facing space above their car park and this is where they decided to create their showroom.

Sticking to a tight budget, they created an inviting space to which the team could happily invite clients, showcasing their work in different scenarios. The showroom involved the fit out and make good of an industrial workspace.

The project creates a space for demonstrating and exhibiting a wide range of products in various settings, such as bathrooms, kitchens, dining and living. The separate zones showcase a versatile product range across fixed fittings and fixtures, benchtops, basins and sinks, wall cladding and loose furniture.

Innovative devices were conceived to utilise the small space, such as a concealed pocket-slider door. The door doubles up as a display wall, allowing the team to exhibit and roll through the different material colours and finishes. Then, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, the door slides back into the wall without imposing itself on the space.

DO SHOES COME ON PALLETS. YODGEE MARKET STORE Yodgee Footwear’s South Melbourne Market stall is completely made from recycled shipping pallets, set in scene with energy-efficient LED lighting.

Using pallets as the principle material in the design of this shoe stall allowed the designer to create a beautiful response to sustainability, cost and briefing challenges.

This project presented a great way of up-cycling a material which is, otherwise, often left as ‘worthless’ on the side of a road. It’s also a material that is already an inherent part of the shoe supply chain and, rather than using new and highly polished materials with embodied energy, the pallets allowed the designer to use a cradle-to-cradle approach, extending their lifespan while helping to reduce overall cost.

The pallets sit well with the ‘temporary market’ feel in which the stall is placed. Sustainability is at the core of the design and, while the recycled timber may be rough and rowdy, it sets the shoes in scene beautifully, providing a harmonious background.

Glass was used in this design to allow an abundance of light into the rear living area of the dwelling and frame the façade.

The purpose of the proposed development is to convert the existing parking area, at the Chadstone campus, into student housing catering for domestic and international students, as well as numerous tourists visiting Melbourne during the holiday and festive seasons.

The focus of the development is to create a building with maximised long-term usability, allowing for future changes and eventual new uses. The intent is to offer variety and flexibility in the housing design, ensuring the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued, broad market appeal.

Overall, the building has a positive impact on the community, environment and urban form. It encourages interaction and social gatherings by providing a range of passive and active communal spaces.

It complements its surroundings by injecting the environment into the building structure, with the inclusion of live green spaces. It is sustainable and self-sufficient.

The design concept celebrates ESD principles that not only enhance the performance of the building but create an exciting place to live and learn.

WINNER Excellence in Documentation Holmesglen: Rocco Molluso

WINNER Best Digital Presentation (Joint Winner) Box Hill: Michael Boer + A good brief with well-considered design + The best mix of still images and floor plans + A stunning digital presentation + Beautifully rendered animation clearly selling the project.

With the council’s desire to connect the east and west of Box Hill, a section of the block must be reserved to allow for foot traffic and thus easier access to Box Hill Institute. To the east of Box Hill Institute’s Elgar campus is an angled footpath which leads across the road and to 5 Poplar Street.

This angle was replicated on the site which divides the apartment complex into two wings.

By separating the block into two triangular sections, as opposed to using the south easement as the footpath, the amount of store frontage is doubled; passive surveillance is doubled; architectural interest and character is added; a unique public walkway becomes a destination rather than a thoroughfare; and it allows for the easement to be developed into a bike path increasing public safety by separating walkers and bike riders.

The client wished to use CLT, however, it is a non-traditional construction material, so the apartment complex had a height cap at an effective 25m which worked out to eight storeys and one basement level, with each residential level consisting of five apartments.

Because of the number of apartments required, and the void above the footpath, and the brief requirements, a lot of the apartments jut out at irregular angles. This is to allow for all apartments to meet the Liveable Housing Guidelines Silver rating, with the two penthouses achieving a Gold rating.

104 ISSUE 5

All things considered, the occupants gain a uniquely sustainable home, the community receives a new destination, the Australian economy is stimulated across the continent, and the developer has the opportunity to turn over a profit while leading the way for sustainable architecture in Australia.
