TRENDS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN The Trends International Design Awards are an opportunity to recognise outstanding homes in a variety of countries. These two winning homes demonstrate how the restrictions that a site might present don't have to compromise the final outcome for the owners. Tyrells Architects create a light-filled addition to the back of a heritage home, while O'Neil Architecture's contemporary new home sits comfortably in its setting despite the long, narrow site. AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECT-DESIGNED RENOVATION WINNER TYRELLS ARCHITECTS This heritage terrace home has been lovingly restored with a striking new light-filled addition at the rear and glass conservatory along the side. Board-formed concrete clads the new conservatory’s walls, while a red Alucobond form echoes another on the rear facade. NEW ZEALAND DESIGNER NEW HOME WINNER O'NEIL ARCHITECTURE & ETERNO DESIGN A private front facade gives way to sheer openness and light at the back of this new home by O’Neil Architecture, with interiors by Eterno Design. While the design had to respond to issues like a limited frontage, a long, narrow site and steep shading angles in respect to the neighbours, it was never compromised by them. search | save | share at trendsideas.com
