Architect and builder Sarah Waller shares how she built HIA's 2025 Australian Home of the Year in only 10 months. 'Blackwood' is a clean, monochromatic masterpiece set in lush Noosa. Refusing to be beat, she tackled months of rain, slopes, scale, detail, and pressure, crediting her trusted subbies along the way. This ep is a sharp look at full-project control, and how she finished a winner.
I’m passionate as an architect and I bring that passion to building. I've been told many times I design like a Queenslander. I really wanted it to be like a resort, so you can experience the outdoors in a different way. It’s like pretty posh glamping.Sarah Waller, Sarah Waller Architecture
