Home of the Year
HIA-Tradelink Eastern Victoria Regional Housing Awards
Winner: Mazzei Construction
Nestled on a windswept, elevated site in Red Hill, this project was guided by two core principles: a thoughtful response to the environment, and a pursuit of elegant simplicity. The home takes full advantage of its fantastic location and excellent design.
But it also presented numerous technical challenges, which the builder has expertly overcome. One clear example is the home's flying roof: overlapping solid concrete roofs that cantilever 2.5 metres out around the perimeter of the home, and extend to 3.5 metres at the corners. The builder carried out substantial prototyping in advance to ensure the finished product would be just right.
The home's polished concrete floors, timber-lined ceilings and tiling were also cited by the judges as just some additional examples of the builder's outstanding craftsmanship.
