Awards highlight the best of Australian house design

Australia is bursting at the seams with talented designers and the increasingly high-profile National Association of Building Designers (NABD) Awards highlights the créme de la créme of these professionals. Those recognised here in different classes of residential design are cases in point.

A Commendation for Best New Residential Design Up To $500K went to the Silverleaves Project by Beaumont Concepts. The judges said: "Silverleaves is a compact, cost-effective holiday home that sits lightly within its coastal surrounds. It exudes a relaxed holiday ambience with a nature conscious, contemporary edge."

Trentham House 700 haus by Glow Design Group took home a Commendation in the Best New Residential Design $500K to $1M category. "This farmhouse-style home expands and frame site views. It is thermally efficient and comfortable."

White Stone House by Chris Clout Design won a Commendation for the Best New Residential Design Over $1M. Judges liked: "the home's freshness, contemporary successively sized portholes and feature Eco outdoor Newport limestone cladding."

NABD has offered a national voice for building designers since 2013. Its aims encompass promotion and development.
