Entry to the 2021 Houses Awards program has been extended until Friday 25 March. The annual awards celebrate Australia’s best residential projects and include a “Garden or Landscape” category.
Entrants can submit any residential project located within Australia that was completed between 1 January 2021 and 28 February 2022. For a garden or landscape, project completion is considered to be when the plantings are sufficiently mature for the design intent to be apparent.
Architecture practice Studio Bright with landscape design studio Peachy Green took out the Garden or Landscape category at the 2021 Houses Awards with 8 Yard House. The project in Melbourne’s inner-north and located on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation comprised a series of eight yards, each with a different atmosphere and function.
The 2020 category winner was Vaucluse Garden in New South Wales by Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture with Bates Landscape. The Whynot St Pool and Carport by Kieron Gait Architects and Dan Young Landscape Architect was the winner in the 2019 awards program.
This year’s submissions will be evaluated by a jury panel comprising Clare Cousins (director, Clare Cousins Architects), Matthew Eagle (director. ME), Alexa Kempton (editor, Houses magazine), Isabelle Toland (co-founder, Aileen Sage Architects), Kieran Wong (co-founder, The Fulcrum Agency) with Helen Lardner (director, HLCD) as heritage advisor and Clare Parry (sustainability manager, Development Victoria) as sustainability advisor.
