A house built almost entirely from terracotta and an adapted cottage with breathable skin are among the residential finalists now in the running for 2024 National Architecture Awards.
In all states and territories, the jury shortlisted 63 projects. Sixteen residences of varied typologies, ages and environmental contexts were selected as finalists of the Residential Architecture categories for Houses – (New) and Houses – (Alterations and Additions).
Yun Nie Chong (Nie and Co Architects), Paul Owen (Owen Architecture), Jemima Retallack (Retallack Thompson) and Naomi Stead (RMIT University) joined jury chair, Stuart Tanner in assessing the entries.
“In the jury’s shortlisting process, we were looking for architects who are using their role and knowledge to go above and beyond, delivering buildings that have an enduring legacy. We were inspired by architecture that not only provides solutions to a client brief but is an intellectual exploration and a vehicle for innovation,” said Tanner.
“The jury was especially responsive to buildings with an authentic response to place and purpose. A project should strive to be a recognition of contextual innovation, acknowledging community and cultural needs.”
Winners will be announced at the National Architecture Awards on 7 November in Adelaide.
