Asset Construction Hire has proudly supported the MBA and our region’s construction industry since 2011. As naming rights sponsor of the Building Excellence Awards 2019-22, our team would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the finalists and winners in 2021.

WELCOME THANK YOU TO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SPONSORS FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THESE AWARDS, IT IS THANKS TO YOU THAT WE GET TO CELEBRATE THESE OUTSTANDING HOMES IN THIS PUBLICATION.

NAMING RIGHTS SPONSOR

MAJOR SPONSORS

ASSOCIATE SPONSORS

Over a year of uncertainty, more than ever, we have seen Canberrans decide to invest in their homes. Whether our members have created the custom-built home of their clients’ dreams or they have renovated a heritage home to create a functional family abode, they have delivered excellence in every category. Across apartments, houses and townhouses, our members have managed to create a sense of home in every project. This year we have seen members show a continued commitment to retaining heritage features in homes, including traditional Canberra red brick and opting for recycled timber features. The 2021 House of the Year in Forrest was delivered by Manteena Residential, Architects Ring & Associates and The Dept. of Design, and it is unlike any home we have ever seen before. Who would have thought a lego room would be the new necessity in the modern home? The innovative aeronautical inspired design is a challenging build and design, even with the Lego room at hand for practise modelling. But with all the modern amenities and the sheer scale of the 2,000m2 home, the house has an incredible sense of warmth and practical conveniences. The views of Parliament House, Telstra Tower and the Airport, make this home a fitting winner of the MBA ACT House of the Year. Thank you to the Excellence Awards judges for graciously following us into uncharted territory last year and welcoming in-person judging again this year. Your expertise and experience add tremendous value to the judging process and to the awards altogether. With the passion and enthusiasm we have seen from our residential members, we can see future Excellence Awards judges in the making. Congratulations to all winners, finalists and entrants on your truly outstanding projects. It was evident that a lot of hard work and great consideration for your clients, went into these homes. We would like to also congratulate our 45-year milestone member, Blackett Homes, on their decades of valuable membership and outstanding projects. As you look through the winners in this issue of Winning Homes, we hope you see the high-quality craftsmanship and impeccable planning that will lead to future milestone memberships.

HOUSE OF THE YEAR

MANTEENA RESIDENTIAL, ARCHITECTS RING & ASSOCIATES AND THE DEPT. OF DESIGN Forrest

The 2021 House of the Year is an outstanding 2,000m² home that sits on a 4,900m² heritage block in the heart of Forrest. The home has a sense of harmony that comes from the nature that surrounds this serene abode. The design brief was to create a home that incorporated work, hobbies, family and extended family. This was achieved by creating different wings in the house to produce cohesive, yet segregated spaces.

The home has the perfect amount of indulgence with a Lego room, home theatre, commercial lift and a handsome library completing the home. The three stories reach up to the glorious rooftop terrace, so that the clients can enjoy a calming retreat from their busy lives. The home has a secure basement server room that acts as the brain of the home, as well as providing extra storage and speciality equipment. There is also a strong focus on Better Building Services House of The Year

STAIRCASE A pivotal change in the design process, included transforming the staircase into a stunning feature in the home. The inspiration for the client was the glass staircase in the Apple California store, with the teams deciding on a combination of structural glass stringer balustrade that supports the floating timber treads.

A pivotal change in the design process, included transforming the staircase into a stunning feature in the home.

KITCHEN The kitchen in this winning home, is the ultimate space for avid foodies, with impressive features such as two luxurious island benches and a generous butler’s pantry. The rich blackwood timber front island bench is the perfect warm welcome into this spacious kitchen. The front island also acts as a workspace, while the central island can be used as a functional meal preparation space. The central island utilises a crisp white colour palette to reflect the light from the overheard skylights, around the kitchen. The wall of rich, charcoal grooved panelling cleverly conceals the entry to the roomy butler’s pantry, that is built with impressive bench space and open shelving. To top off the ultimate entertainer’s space, the kitchen is equipped with all the latest appliances including a large wine fridge, an integrated column fridge and warming drawers. MBA Member Capital Veneering were part of the team that brought this kitchen to life.

LEGO/GAMES ROOM

With specialist lighting, it also acts as the perfect office/gaming space.

The expansive Lego room is a carefully planned space that required lighting and display cabinetry that would best serve the Danish brick creations. With specialist lighting, it also acts as the perfect office/gaming space, that is a supreme celebration of the owner’s life passions. HOME THEATRE This room is particularly structurally impressive, with the proportions of the room specifically designed for optimum acoustics. Concrete walls and a concrete roof were added to the theatre to ensure sound does not travel throughout the rest of the home. The room was also acoustically lined to create a space that allowed for the perfect sound experience.

MASTER BATHROOM

WARDROBE

The stunning master bathroom provides 36m² of wet area with a centre island bath and double shower space with ceiling mounted shower heads, included in the space.

The spacious his and her closets provide ample room for clothing, shoes, accessories and luggage. The plentiful hanging space makes choosing an outfit a breeze with all clothes beautifully displayed. The wardrobe carries on the space and functionality from the other rooms in the house. Every nook and cranny in both closets is carefully designed and delivered to suit the homeowners. In this generous walk-in closet, the teams maximised every inch of space.

The bath is centred in the room so that the homeowners can enjoy the beautiful treetop views from their luxurious bath. The bath tapware is cleverly concealed in the multi-function wall to keep with the sleek, modern design. The Dept. of Design created a monolithic stone bath hob which integrates storage as well as a mounting location for the bath spout to aid this seamless design. The toilet is hidden behind a porcelain door that blends into the wall of marble. This allows for the beautiful design to stand out, while concealing the functional elements of the room. The bathroom is fitted with all the modern amenities a family could ever need, including heated towel rails, LED strip lighting, in slab heating and bathroom exhaust, lighting and audio are controlled through a smart device.

WINNING HOMES MAGAZINE

BACKYARD The 4,900m² block is complemented by the addition of a generous 15 metre by 5 metre pool. The fishpond symbolises the homeowners strong tie to the local flora and fauna. The generous block sings with the retention of the beautiful heritage trees and the classic style hedging used to give the landscape heart and soul. The use of Wee Jasper stone around the pool concourse delivers a timeless look and a durability that will make it stand the test of time.

THE ART OF RENOVATING – RIVOLAND They say a change is as good as a holiday… And thanks to the current travel situation, Canberra is seeing change in our homes and commercial premises, and it is fantastic.

Previously, the suggested rule when renovating was to play it safe, keep things neutral – for resale purposes. The unsafe element in this rule is that all the homes on the market had the tendency to look the same, losing the competitive edge in the marketplace. Houses and interiors did not scream “Wow – Look at me, buy me” and homeowners, the occupants did not get to enjoy their spaces to their full potential. Though times are changing…

Today, renovators of Canberra are putting their hearts and personalities into the very fabric of their spaces. Bathrooms, kitchens, and offices are colourful, textural, fun, and detailed. Styles like Art Deco, Hamptons, Contemporary Modern, Industrial and Moorish vibes from the East are all being realised in the most rewarding spaces and being relished by those who use them.

At Rivoland Tiles, it is our mission to offer you the world of choice and advice to realise your dream home, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, outdoor entertaining space, or office space in every sense you feel. Ensuring product suitability and price to suit your budget. VISIT OUR SHOWROOMS AT QUEANBEYAN & MITCHELL TO FIND THE RIGHT TILES FOR YOU.

MANTEENA RESIDENTIAL, ARCHITECTS RING & ASSOCIATES, THE DEPT. OF DESIGN AND CAPITAL VENEERING Forrest The brief for this project was to create ‘a private sanctuary’ for the busy clients, with a space that capitalises on the abundance of natural light. The teams used beautiful, large format tiles that showcase the texture of each tile when the natural light hits. The stunning timber veneer vanity that runs nearly the entire length of the room, is perfectly finished with high end fittings and a stone top. The central island bath can be the true masterpiece of the room, due to the team’s careful planning, allowing all service points on the flanking sides of the space. WINNING HOMES MAGAZINE

BEST USE OF MATERIAL IN A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

SELECT CUSTOM JOINERY Curved Plywood and Recycled Timber Kitchen

The use of plywood and recycled timber was cleverly planned to suit the functional requirements of the space. The birch plywood cabinetry has exposed edges that are mitred, which creates a visually appealing aesthetic and a stronger construction. The curved, recycled timber benchtop perfectly complements the shape of the space, with the timber coming from the now decommissioned Northbourne apartments. By using plywood and recycled timber, the team were able to incorporate finger pulls into the drawers and doors to suit the minimalistic design. Through their use of materials, the team has created a kitchen that has an expected lifespan of 50-100 years. 26

SUBURBAN LAND AGENCY — CREATING GREAT PLACES WHERE COMMUNITIES THRIVE

CREATING GREAT PLACES WHERE COMMUNITIES THRIVE

Community at the heart of development

As Canberra works towards becoming a more sustainable city, the relationship between Canberra’s suburban development and promoting environmental biodiversity needs to be harmonious to benefit everyone. Julie Armstrong from ACT for Bees and Geoff Bunnett from Suburban Land Agency discuss community engagement, development innovation and how great design influences our wellbeing.

Join our Thriving Communities newsletter By joining our Thriving Communities newsletter you can see more stories and insights from people making great places. Scan the QR code or visit suburbanland.act.gov.au/subscribe

JULIE ARMSTRONG Founder of ACT for Bees. Julie Armstrong has a passion for raising awareness about bees through education. As part of this mission she founded the ‘ACT for Bees’ organisation in 2014 as a response to the global bee crisis.

Can you describe a bee friendly Canberra? What does that look like? A bee friendly Canberra has diverse and abundant nectar and pollen from mainly native plants blooming in succession throughout the year with connectivity between habitat to support pollinator movement. There are undisturbed places of leaf litter for native bee nest sites and integrated pest management practices ensure minimal toxicity to the environment. We also need to meaningfully incorporate First Nations perspectives and knowledge of taking care of place into everyday decisions and be open to learning different ways of perceiving our environment. ‘Bee friendly’ is a positive way to be in the world!

How can Canberra be more sustainable? We can all contribute towards Canberra becoming a more foodsecure city by supporting our local growers and growing our own food. We have fantastic farmers markets and we need to shorten the food chain and be less reliant on > 90% of food from Sydney and beyond. New developments particularly medium density need to include community gardens and pollinator corridors. I would love to see more communal spaces that promote growing and eating together so that we can share stories and learn from each other and create vibrant thriving communities. Healthy cities rely on healthy social, healthy nature and healthy economic systems and the integration of these elements into the planning process from the start.

GEOFF BUNNETT Program Manager for Place Management at Suburban Land Agency (SLA) Geoff is a registered landscape architect and qualified project manager, who has worked in the property development industry for the past 10 years.

Can you tell me about what you do? I’m Program Manager for place management at SLA. I’m a landscape architect by training so my view is always wide and encompassing in what SLA does. My team looks after the land that the agency owns well before projects commence and so I have the opportunity to be part of the project from early on, which I really enjoy. What does a thriving community look like? A thriving community for me is one that engages with its place. A place that celebrates that special landscape that its on but also allows the community to celebrate the place it creates by them engaging with it. The community gives the place the spark that turns on the light for the place. What does it take to build a great place? Our SLA teams are highly collaborative from the project managers who design and seek approval from communities, to builders, to place management and Mingle – who work with residents and community members. Building great places requires collaboration and partnership at every step of the way.

How are communities innovating today? What we’re seeing are highly engaged communities in our places. We believe that highly engaged communities and participation is really unique and a bespoke element to our developments. Mingle is integral in achieving that for our places. Our place management team are constantly looking to meet the needs of our communities – the work is quick and responsive. A great example is the work we’ve done at Whitlam. From the first block being sold and settled, our engagement with the community starts at day one. We are listening so that the communities we create are from the grass roots. Also in Whitlam, we have a collaboration hub which is a community space that is supported by a whole series of assets which we call the heartbeat of Whitlam. It opens the door for communities to engage with all the stakeholders of the community. How can Canberra be a more sustainable city? SLA and other agencies in the ACT Government are working towards a more collaborative and community engagement approach. In Whitlam, we’re piloting sustainable infrastructure and our landscape infrastructure is always trying to adapt. In some places, our street trees are working in harsh environments but we have long-term plans to keep this environment sustainable. We approach our work with longterm solutions and long-term thinking so that our work meets Canberra’s sustainability goals.

CREATING GREAT PLACES WHERE COMMUNITIES THRIVE

Can you tell me about yourself and what you do? I’m the founder of ACT for Bees and have an education background with many years in teaching. ACT for Bees is primarily an education group focusing on raising awareness of the importance of bees and other pollinators for the pollination of our most nutritious food, for biodiversity and for healthy ecosystems. We provide a range of resources on our website about the importance of planting for year round flowering for pollinators.

How do we balance urban development with spaces that support healthy bees and biodiversity? We need biodiversity to be part of the development planning process as nature is integral to the resilience and sustainability of urban centres with the wide range of pressures facing us including climate change, food and water security, health and wellbeing of the community and social and economic development. Great design integrates nature and people and their wellbeing. Trees are not just things you plant in streets, they are corridors for biodiversity and urban centres can be key in turning around biodiversity loss. Climate change and biodiversity loss go hand in hand and cultivating healthy landscapes is vital for our communities to thrive.

Building the homes that connect our community. Since 1988 we’ve built more than 18,300 dwellings, but to us it’s so much more than that. We lived up to our name by creating communities where people could live, work, laugh, play and simply spend quality time together. We’re looking forward to the next 30 years of connecting people.

The perfectly positioned skylights, cast light on the brass detailing throughout the kitchen, and provide warmth amongst the moody colour palette. The interior masonry provides tactical passive heating and cooling by acting as an isolated thermal mass. The kitchen has a generous curved island bench under the dolomite bench top, which allows for comfortable seating around the kitchen. The space exudes functionality with ample cabinets and drawers and an easy flow into the living room.

The project brief was to create a modern extension that would perfectly integrate with the planned modernisation of the existing home. The garage was converted into a useful loft space with a kitchenette and bathroom. The crisp, white design allows the excellence in construction to be the focus of the home. The team exhibited excellence in practice by hand crafting internal ply pieces and a large timber slider built onsite for the new sliding door feature.

NATURA HOMES AND MICHAEL PISCONE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER Griffith

While the existing 100-year-old Canberra red brick home wasn’t located in the heritage precinct, it was essential for the homeowners that the renovation maintained all the beloved heritage elements while also meeting their functionality and living requirements. The team showed extraordinary commitment to maintaining the heritage feel through seamlessly matching the new and old exterior brick, using rosebud brickwork and traditional stepped flashing which perfectly complimented the existing heritage details. The timber trims throughout the home were custom milled to match the existing architraves and skirting. The custom-manufactured cedar doubleglazed windows were specially made with two-toned stain to achieve and retain the heritage look. WINNING HOMES MAGAZINE

A home to us is more than a structure. When architects & designers raise the bar, we’re at our best. We love the challenge of a custom build because it drives our curiosity to explore new territory.

Peak Consulting 02 6297 7716 www.peakconsulting.com.au

THE PEAK OF CONSULTING SERVICES IN THE CANBERRA REGION Master Builders Association ACT spoke with Peter Leary, principal at Peak Consulting and MBA ACT residential awards judge about the importance of builder members obtaining dilapidation reports prior to commencement of any renovation or knockdown rebuild work. At Peak Consulting we provide building consultancy services that are backed by over 35 years’ experience in building, construction, repair and investigative work. We specialise in providing expert assistance to owner’s managers, law firms and building service providers. Our priority is delivering professional, high-quality and personal service to all of our customers. An important service that we provide builder members is the compilation of a precommencement Dilapidation Report for the subject property or adjacent properties. Over the years it has become apparent that adjacent property owners have sometimes tried to take advantage of builders by attempting to claim for alleged damage associated with the building work conducted. A dilapidation report is vital to eradicate claims of this nature by independently documenting the state of condition of all associated elements.

“A small investment provides a greater level of protection in my view.”

Peak Consulting can provide all aspects of building consultancy including:

We recently canvassed our regular builder member clients to gain perspective of the benefits that we have provided to them. The responses received were very clear.

• Property inspection reports

“360° building engaged Peak Consulting prior to commencing a large renovation. Peak Consulting identified and documented an inherent defect within the existing building which would have significantly prejudiced the outcome and likely fallen under our statutory authority responsibilities. Proactively identifying compromised structures prior to commencement provides vital protection. Highly recommended!” – Dean Struys, 360 Degree Building.

• Expert reports.

“Prior to commencement on any of our large renovations or knockdown rebuilds we engage Peak Consulting to inspect and provide dilapidation reports on adjacent structures. This strategy protects Manteena from possible litigation for mistaken pre-existing damage. Good insurance and protection.” – Danny Agnello, Manteena
