Be inspired by the 2020 Houses Awards shortlist

By Jen Bishop โ€ข Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

For 10 years, the Houses Awards have shone a spotlight on Australiaโ€™s most outstanding homes, celebrating ambitious design and the very best in residential architecture. Today, we’re sharing just a handful of the shortlisted entries to inspire and delight you!

This yearโ€™s shortlisted projects represent the pinnacle of antipodean architecture and reflect the current zeitgeist of residential design in this country. A home can be a sanctuary away from the pressures of the outside world and perhaps that rings especially true in the current crisis, explains Katelin Butler, chair of the 2020 jury and editorial director at Architecture Media.

โ€œThis yearโ€™s jury was acutely aware of the broader context of what is happening in the world today โ€“ the current pandemic, our climate emergency and economic downturn. How do these challenges affect the way we design or should design in the future?

โ€œThe standout homes were the ones that not only comprised a series of beautifully designed spaces, but gave the impression that they would be highly functional and comfortable places to live. These homes showed the ways that residential architecture can contribute to the broader context of its streetscape and local suburb, and how design interventions can build community and neighbourhood.

“With density increasing in our Australian cities and suburbs, itโ€™s important to think about connections that expand the experience of a dwelling beyond its technical boundaries and how to navigate the balance between public and private space.โ€

The winners will be announced 31 July with projects awarded across nine categories and one home awarded the premier title of Australian House of the Year. The 2020 jury includes: Barrie Marshall โ€“ Founding Partner, Denton Corker Marshall (VIC); Poppy Taylor โ€“ Founding Partner, Taylor and Hinds (TAS); James Russell โ€“ Principal, James Russell Architect (QLD); Hannah Tribe โ€“ Principal, Tribe Studio Architects (NSW); and Katelin Butler โ€“ Editorial Director, Architecture Media.

There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's lates There's a LOT of goodness in @sageandclare's latest collection Marguerite but the Aida rug has to be my personal fave.

Handcrafted from wool, it features a rustic check design with a rainbow of nostalgic colour. Embroidered edge stitching furthers its handcrafted feel. 

โ€œThis is pure colour joy bundled up in a hard-wearing and happy rug that will lift any room with ease," says creative director Phoebe Bell.

A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $120 A DIY dining nook bench seat with storage for $1200!

After 4 years of saying โ€œa dining nook would be great thereโ€ฆโ€ South Australians @the_groves_abode finally got a quote from a local cabinet maker for a built-in bench seat with storage. When the $4,000 price tag was revealed, criminologist, chronic over-achiever and wannabe carpenter Andrew decided to have a crack at it instead.

And we're so impressed with the end result which cost just over a grand. Read what they did, what they used and how in the blog now, via link in bio.

Mess = stress! Today on the blog, @little_label_c Mess = stress!

Today on the blog, @little_label_co founder Natalie Manoushian is sharing her top tips for a more organised home. I'd love you to share your best tips in the comments too!

"Disorganisation puts barriers in the way. Imagine how much quicker you would get things done if your home or work space ran smoothly. Researchers have found that clutter can actually make it more difficult to focus on a particular task. From the frustration of not being able to find what we need, to the feeling of being constantly surrounded by chaos, a disorganised environment creates brain fog and can lead to procrastination and reduces productivity. It can also trigger feelings of stress and anxiety, making it difficult to switch off, relax and sleep well."
