2025 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
The Village
The Village reimagines a typical suburban site with two separate dwellings designed specifically for multi-generational living. Demonstrating a collaborative approach between the architect and client, the project sought to minimise construction waste and reused materials salvaged from the former cottage. The brief also required that existing cottage was retained on site while the first of the new dwellings was constructed, a significant constraint that the architect resolved in the design of the project. Each dwelling, one more modest in scale than the other, has been arranged so that selected spaces overlap and enable interaction between occupants. The composition of materials successfully balances sustainability aspirations, durability objectives, and the desire for a warm aesthetic.
