Jury citation:
The Domic landscape garden merges the architecture of this house with its spectacular coastal setting. A garden project such as this has the potential to polarize opinions: it is an intensely developed and very large-budget project, located in close proximity to Noosa National Park. This type of juxtaposition is seen many times around the Australian coastline and, in this case, against a very demanding site yield. It is apparent that the landscape architect and architect have worked together to achieve a garden that blurs the interface of site landscape and building: garden as architecture and architecture as garden. The project embraces the local flora and allows itself to be sculptured and engulfed by the forms and vegetation of Sunshine Beach. The project exhibits technical aspects of environmental sustainability, however its ultimate achievement will be the way in which the developing garden will further soften and envelop the building.
