Following on from 2015’s coveted Houses Awards, Blum is pleased to continue supporting the acknowledgement of outstanding achievement in residential design for 2016.
Blum’s 2015 sponsorship of the new Houses Awards category ‘Emerging Architecture Practice’; was aimed at recognising and rewarding Australia’s top emerging practices in residential projects. Last year’s winners of the inaugural award were Archier Studio (pictured above with Award) who were a stand out to the jury for “immersing themselves in an idea without fear of failure, in the knowledge that the outcome may turn out better than expected.”
Houses Awards 2016 are now calling out for this year’s entries with submissions open from 11th January and closing on 18th March. The total prize pool this year is $14,000.
Excellence is awarded in nine different categories, with the best house receiving the premier award of Australian House of the Year 2016.
2016’s Awards contain six primary categories (paid entries) and are automatically considered for the premier award – Australian House of the Year 2016.
1. New House under 200 square metres
2. New House over 200 square metres
3. House Alteration and Addition under 200 square metres
4. House Alteration and Addition over 200 square metres
