The Cottesloe residence that recently collected top honors at the National Architecture Awards draws its inspiration from Western Australia’s famed Bibbulmun Track. Architects designed the dual‑level home to capture sea views while providing adaptable interior spaces. Large windows frame the coastline, and movable partitions allow rooms to shift functions as needed. The layout emphasizes indoor‑outdoor flow, encouraging occupants to engage with the surrounding environment. Critics noted the project demonstrates how infill development can be achieved without compromising design quality. The award jury praised the house for marrying regional references with modern living requirements. Its success shows a growing interest in sustainable, site‑responsive architecture.
