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.
The two homes featured here show the range of approaches to home design in the suburbs. Architect Tim Dorrington
places a contemporary addition at the rear of a reconfigured 1920s bungalow, while a dramatic new home by
Urbane Projects fulfils a challenging brief and maximises sweeping river views.
AUSTRALIAN DESIGNER NEW HOME
WINNER
URBANE PROJECTS
For this two-level home, designer Steve Gliosca created
a modest street-side entry that opens to a central atrium
and splayed wings reaching out towards individual water
views. This provides an ideal family arrangement, with
the parents living on the upper level, while their two
teenage daughters have independent space below.
NEW ZEALAND ARCHITECT-DESIGNED RENOVATION
HIGHLY COMMENDED
BOX
With this family's 1920s cottage located in a heritage
zone, council requirements dictated that its classic
front façade be retained. So to give them more space
and better indoor-outdoor connections, architect Tim
Dorrington at Box designed an open-plan pavilion to the
rear of the property as part of the complex renovation.
