Awards
...........................
2005 – Commonwealth of Australia
THE LAMINEX GROUP SINGLE RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE AWARD,
The Royal Australian Institute of Architects, 2005.
The beneficiary was “Coco Eco Nature Retreat” (http://www.cocoeco.com.au/)
which has used Wastewater Gardens for its sewage water treatment and ecoscape.
The building was completed in May 2004 and won the prestigious 2005 WA
Architectural Award for single residential.
Jury comments: " ... The resulting complex not only works from a
sustainability point of view, but creates the ambience requested by the
client in an unforced and natural way by adopting forms and materials
that reflect the tropics ...The resulting project could well serve as
an exemplar for similar projects in the future… Environmental sustainability
has been embraced and celebrated within the development with the waste
water garden at the entry and centre of the buildings serving as living
reminder of a commitment to a more sustainable building and operational
practice ... ».
