NABD Design Awards 2015 d4 Designs took the topaward

The National Association of Building Designers (NABD) was established in 2013 as a national voice for building designers. Aims include gaining recognition for the profession, formalising teaching programs, the sharing of expertise and the pursuit of on-going professional development.

And with the out-pouring of talent seen at the NABD's 2015 Design Awards, it is clearly achieving those goals. Over 25 projects were rewarded for their expertise, creativity and design excellence. The event sponsor is James Hardie Australia.

Pictured here is Tarakan, by Rachcoff Vella Architecture, winner in the Best New Residential Design over a million dollars. The judges commented that the house proudly occupies its site, surrounded by landscaped gardens, and that the design responds effectively to the need for a dynamic yet relaxed home, where many can be entertained comfortably.

Durable materials such as Hillview quarry stone and Eco 3D Shiplap cladding together with elements of zinc and natural finish render mean the home will age well, melding with its setting over time.

d4 Designs took the National Building Design of the Year award for its design of the Northbridge Brewing Company.
