National Award Citation
Banksia House demonstrates a highly cohesive collaboration between the project teams to create a timeless residence that seamlessly blends nature and home. The design responds to the clifftop coastal setting with a fortress-like robustness of industrial details, coalesced with a diverse mix of textures, tones and patterns. This solidity is greatly lightened through a permeable open plan that constantly draws on the connection to the richly layered landscape. The strategic use of natural and raw materials, along with the predominantly native coastal vegetation selection, will ensure that the home embraces its exposure to the weather and improves with age.
