Residential Architecture – HousesSponsored by SCOOP Publishing40THE ARCHITECT 2012 ISSUE 002The Marshall Clifton Award for ResidentialArchitecture – HousesHouse in CottesloeArchitecture PracticeBlane Brackenridge ArchitectBuilderA T Brine & SonsPhotographerRobert FrithJury CommentsCottesloe House by Blane Brackenridge is a remarkable achievement and amasterful creation of form and space. It demonstrates a conceptual clarityand execution that was thoroughly transferred throughout the house.Externally the house is striking in the streetscape providing an electriccounterpoint to the conventional surrounding housing. The restrained use ofexternal materials distill light and shade to great effect ensuring that timewill play a significant role in the experience of the house.Internally the use of a split level and a glazed courtyard created separationbetween private and public areas while also preserving the connection to theviews and site. This balance of private and public spaces is further elevatedthrough the controlled use of a limited palette of materials and a refinedapproach to detailing.Above all else this house is a celebration of architecture and an extension ofthe modernist tradition to embrace the informality of Australian culture andthe uniqueness of its landscape and location.Architecture AwardNorfolk Farm176 Rendezvous Road, Vasse, WA.Architecture PracticeCODABuilderNoel SmithPhotographerBo WongJury CommentsNorfolk Farm by CODA Studio is a project that demonstrates significantarchitectural outcomes can be achieved within limited means. The project ishighly considered and beautifully crafted. Its placement defines a series ofspecial places within a fairly ordinary rural environment. The balance betweenthe whimsical ‘half a farm house’ and the more specifically crafted residencecreates a loose courtyard space. The main residence is a strict square thathas been carved out to allow light and living spaces. This simple carvedgesture allowed the architects to introduce delight through the use of timbercladding, colour and skylights. The outcome is moving and memorable. Itencourages investigation that is rewarded at all levels of enquiry.
CommendationEagle BayArchitecture PracticeWright Feldhusen ArchitectsBuilderTallwood ConstructionsPhotographerRobert FrithJury CommentsThe jury felt the Eagle Bay house by Wright Feldhusen Architects was asignificant achievement in residential architecture. It demonstrated a cleararchitectural concept about the holiday house and distilled it into a simplecluster of pavilions arranged around a courtyard. The strength of this wasreinforced by the use of robust heavy rammed earth walls that emphasisedthe separation between pavilions. Between the walls the architects inserteda combination of glazed and timber clad walling. Glazing is strictly locatedon the north/south elevation creating a surprisingly transparent experience.The outcome is an entirely informal house that is intimately connected to thelandscape.41THE ARCHITECT 2012 ISSUE 002
