Coben Building Pty Ltd
Master Builder of the Year – Residential
About the winning project
Three buildings are nestled into the landscape and have been assembled to reduce the scale of the built form and to fit more in keeping with its natural surroundings. The gentle curves of the precast and the separation between the buildings enable sightlines to Studley Park. The project is recognisable for its use of board-marked precast panels, large glazed window apertures, copper screening and extensive landscaping. As the building is cut into the Studley Park cliff face, access and sequencing the works was a significant challenge, requiring a tower crane for a large portion of the works. The materials chosen for the building have been selected to ensure that this building requires little maintenance and will stand the test of time. This will provide long-term benefits to its owners.
