Welcome to the ultimate exhibit of excellence in construction and incredible artistry with the Winning Homes completed by Master Builders ACT members.

Each Winning Homes magazine isn’t simply just pictures on pages, it’s a reflection of our members hard work and it’s the place where wonderful memories begin for their clients. Winning Homes is the chance to highlight and celebrate the high-quality details that make a home extraordinary. It’s the magazine where projects are celebrated, trends are created and where the idea of a dream home is born.

The feature of this year’s Winning Homes magazine, beginning on page 57, dives into the new decade, looking at future industry trends, technology developments and innovative practices. The theme is perfectly fitting of our members, who are always pushing the bounds of design and implementing innovative practices to deliver an everincreasing level of excellence.

This year’s House of the Year, ‘The Angle House’ is the epitome of construction brilliance, with the genius behind it, Daniel Fitzpatrick from Architekt Grüne Häuser, at the heart of the project. The home is the ultimate display of excellence in construction, with custom metal work created onsite, to complement the overall daring design.

The home is a homage to the Japanese art of origami, with angles and shapes used as clever design features throughout the home.

We would like to thank the talented team of judges for lending their expertise and experience to the judging process. Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for their continued support of the Excellence Awards and for investing in the future of the building and construction industry.

We would also like to thank the award entrants; you are the heart and soul of Master Builders ACT and without you these awards would not be possible.

The home is finished with handcrafted joinery pieces and the main bathroom is decorated with handmade finger tiles from Japan. There was also significant consideration placed on making the home more energy efficient, including installing LED lighting, using natural materials where possible and extending the eaves to maximise solar efficiency. The home has a 7.8 star energy rating.

RENOVATION/EXTENSION MORE THAN $1MILLION

PREFERRED BUILDERS AND PAUL TILSE ARCHITECTS Forrest

This project involved updating a dilapidated 1930s Canberra cottage to enhance the heritage elements while providing essential modern updates. The brief for the project was, “to play up the heritage elements of the old home and transition into the more modern extension with beautiful finishes.� The home features incredible examples of restoring heritage materials, the red brick from the demolished portion of the cottage was cleaned and cut down to finish the herringbone flooring in the basement cellar. While the replacement of the original windows with new double-glazed timber windows, provided a much-needed modern upgrade that improved the energy efficiency of the home. The natural stone features and brass elements play off the history of the home and add touches of period features that produce an aesthetically stimulating design.

SPECIAL PURPOSE/ADAPTABLE DWELLING

PROJECT COORDINATION (AUSTRALIA) Azure Village, Marymead, Narrabundah

This project involved the delivery of 84 independent living units, new infrastructure and roads, the construction of a community centre, a care house, a 3-storey administration office and the refurbishment of the existing building in Narrabundah. These units are collectively known as ‘Azure Village’, and feature two and three bedroom designs, which provide a community and living facility for people over the age of 55. The team showed diligence in their practices by ensuring the footpath did not exceed a 5% gradient, to make sure they were functional for residents. The units were designed to be energy efficient, through the use of waffle pod concrete slabs, double glazed windows and opting for a permeable membrane over sarking to provide better sealing to the external walls and roof.

An entire generation of Australians that think differently to their parents is about to enter the property market. A generation of homeowners who are acutely aware of their responsibility to the environment and the health of their homes. For them, making sustainable choices is not a slogan, it is a mission!

Sustainability will be an expectation — not simply thought of as a trend. Enlightened consumers will demand sustainable practices be considered in every aspect of building and construction.

Even for those that are not ideologically driven by the fragility of the planet, it is a practical economic decision to consider the needs and expectations of the next owner of your home, and what impact your decisions will have on resale value.

The drive towards healthier building practices has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s globally accepted that life will change in some way or other as we step into the ‘new normal’ So how do we make our homes a healthier, happier place to live? With the memory of sanitising our hands at every turn, still leaving a lasting kinetic memory in the form of tingling fingertips. This lasting impression will see touch-less technology and easy-to-clean surfaces in greater demand in the family home.

Architects, designers and builders have been duly influenced by the Pandemic, particularly in terms of the health of the home.

It’s the little things that contribute to maintaining health and liveability. Durable, low maintenance materials and clean lines that will help minimise germ traps and promote better liveability.

Most people embarking on a new build or renovation settle on a budget that they can comfortably afford, therefore it’s important to choose finishes and fixtures wisely, as these items can seriously impact the budget. Conversely, inferior

products, although they may make the budget go further they could be considered a false economy, with replacement required much sooner than better quality alternatives.

It is often better to have more high quality and durable materials throughout your home, in order to enhance its long term value.

Builders, architects and designers are in the best position to advise you on alternative materials that will give you the look, convenience and quality you want, within your budget.

An adventurous new selection of composite materials offer sustainability, durability and affordability. Engineered materials are hygienic, water-repellent, heat and stain resistant and virtually guarantee seamless application. Also, antimicrobial materials which inhibit the ability of microorganisms to grow on the surface will almost certainly be looked at with increasing interest.

Over time, as new ideas and concepts evolve, homeowners will be presented with an array of products and innovations that provide comfort, convenience and sustainability combined.

Recycled and engineered building materials, motion sensor taps, facial recognition door opening, appliances that you turn on from smart phones are all part of the exciting technological future. Comfort, style and convenience will feature strongly in a world where sustainability is now a key priority for homeowners.

According to Andy Stodulka, Design Construct Industries CEO, one of the greatest challenges in the building and construction industry will be persuading clients to invest in benefits that may not pay off for a decade or more. “I believe future designs will need to have a more minimalistic approach in order to be ecologically sustainable and minimise the carbon footprint. That’s not to say we need to forfeit innovation, creativity and style ,it simply means devoting more time during the design process to consider energy efficiency,

environmental health and genuine respect for the natural environment. This may necessitate air exchangers to eliminate mould and condensation rather than vacuum tight buildings.

There is no point of 10 stars if mould will thrive. Sealed buildings put us back into the dark ages,” Andy Stodulka said.

Mr Stodulka thinks that the most important single goal of sustainable architecture in the future will be to think long term and considering the energy efficiency of the entire life cycle of a building. Designers, architects and engineers will employ different techniques to reduce energy needs and increase the ability to capture or generate the building’s own energy.

“The approach in the coming decade will be to develop buildable designs that save money during construction and over the lifetime of the house. Careful planning is critical to avoid major renovations in the future and to reduce costs associated with energy usage, water usage and maintenance,” Mr Stodulka added.

Concrete, the ever reliable and sustainable building product is no longer the plain Jane of the construction industry. Polished concrete is visually stunning, taking this popular product to the next level. While natural tones, varying between light and dark grey, remain pinnacles of modern industrial design.

We are seeing designers achieving extraordinary finishes by adding different pigments to their concrete mixture, which is producing visually and structurally brilliant design.

With the high thermal mass properties of concrete and it’s 100% recyclablility, it significantly supports the reduction of emissions in the building and construction industry.

According to Sam Brack from Brack Concrete Design, as well as being safe and reliable, polished concrete is extremely versatile and unrivalled when it comes to sustainability.

“Polished concrete uses recycled materials and lasts for a very, very long time, making it an extremely environmentally friendly option. It is also cost effective and aesthetically striking. There are so many finishes available, polished concrete is always on trend,” Sam Brack said.

NOT SO OPEN PLAN The open-plan layout, popular in so many of today’s homes, lost some of its shine during the COVID-19 pandemic. The close proximity of family members juggling different schedules overwhelmed us as we were forced to manage our working life and school lessons from home, forcing many to rethink their home’s layout options.

While no-one wants a return to the ‘Rabbit Warren’ days of several pokey rooms, defined spaces that distinguish between work, living and play, are predicted to make a comeback. The trend moving forward, is to define specific spaces, while keeping a convenient flow between them.

Think internal glass walls and strategic lines of sight, to achieve more defined spaces with breathability.

Creative designers will maintain the harmonious feel of open plan living by incorporating subtle dividers to cleverly create separate zones using slats, half walls, glass dividers, strategic shelving and smart bookcase designs. These tricks allow the visual appeal of light and spaciousness to be retained, while providing private zones for ‘me time’.

Less formality, more functionality and greater comfort seem to be on the menu for future renovations or new builds, with the home office likely doubling as a guest room. The basement might be transformed into a media room and/or a home gym. Imagine a spacious walk in robe doubling as a quiet reading nook!

It’s important for anyone building a new home to do their research when choosing the right team. Savvy professionals will exploit every opportunity in order to deliver the best home possible within the nominated budget.

The trend moving forward, is to define specific spaces, while keeping a convenient flow between them.

If the designer is not in sync with the builder, the potential of your home can be seriously under-utilised. The difference between a home that respects every dollar and all possibilities and one that doesn’t is enormous.

Better designed and built homes don’t necessarily cost more financially, but they do require a bigger investment in the planning process. It’s when the designer and builder are on the same page, that great things happen.

Managing Director of Monaro Windows, Dan Posch, says that improving comfort, reducing noise and adding greater energy efficiency have become important priorities for homeowners. Mr Posch believes achieving this goal in your home, old or new, is easy with the right choice of windows and doors.

“Thermally efficient windows and doors are not only aesthetically appealing, but they save you money and keep your home more comfortable all year round. Cold winter drafts and summer hot spots are a thing of the past when you install thermally broken aluminium frames and double glazed windows. Homeowners can achieve a 6 STAR energy rating and better temperatures through every season with carefully chosen doors and Windows,” Mr Posch added.

EMERGING TRENDS With popular renovation shows on our TV screens every week, homeowners are gaining more confidence in expressing themselves. It’s possible we’ll see less ‘designed’ spaces and more character filled spaces with the homeowners personality shining through. We’ll see less single-look schemes or ‘current trends’.

You could be forgiven for thinking that 70’s and 80’s trends were a thing of the past. We are seeing a resurgence in bold velvet sofas, terrazzo reigning supreme on bench tops, walls and floors. Arches, squared off in years past, are making their way back to the pages of a designer’s sketch book, and curvy shapes are adding a sensual touch to joinery pieces and furniture.

The past year has influenced a resurgence of calm, soothing colours with accent walls adding wow factor to the space. Think baby pink, soft peach, coral, mint, olive and cream with a pop of mustard, peacock blue or terracotta. At the end of the day though, whatever you like is right for you!

Design is subjective. Different design trends are neither right nor wrong! If the look is what the homeowner loves, it’s right.

According to Neale Whittaker, former editor of Belle Magazine and Current Judge on The Block, it’s a good idea to merge trends. “Don’t be afraid to mix and match styles within your room,” said Mr Whitaker.

“Most of the current trends are quite neutral and can be easily added into existing decor themes, like the inclusion of a rattan-backed chair, or a group of ceramic vessels, similar in shape or colours. My favourite interiors are always the ones that blend different styles, different tones, different periods, different colours,” said Mr Whittaker.

MONARO WINDOWS Based on the most popular European designs, and uniquely adapted to suit our extreme weather conditions, the range of stylish windows and doors produced by Monaro Windows, are the highest performing and most thermally efficient available.

In these times of mass production, it’s refreshing for builders and renovators to have access to an innovative company that manufactures superior products right here, in Queanbeyan.

When it comes to sustainability, performance and energy efficiency, Monaro Windows products are truly next level, as well as being affordable, sustainable and supremely stylish. The flexible range of Windows and doors at Monaro Windows have impressive insulation qualities for year round comfort!

It’s well documented that inefficient windows and doors contribute dramatically to uncomfortable temperatures and unnecessarily high energy bills in family homes — so responding to growing demand, Monaro Windows has introduced a specialty ‘Window Replacement’ service — the perfect solution for older homes and more recent builds with ineffective inclusions.

Monaro Windows will happily measure, quote and install uPVC or aluminium replacement windows and doors — the difference will be immediate — greater comfort, a healthier home and lower running costs.

Thermally efficient windows and doors not only look better and save you money, they also keep you more comfortable!Double glazed windows help to keep a more consistent temperature using an air gap between the glass panes, this air gap can also be filled with argon gas for even greater results.

New windows can really freshen up the appearance of the home. Monaro manufactures both Aluminium and uPVC windows and both frame options are available in almost any colour you would like; from Monument, all the way to timber look finishes. You can also choose the hardware and opening style of the window for maximum effect.

With double glazing, thermally broken frames and a variety of tinting, film and gas finishes, the temperature in your home will remain more consistent and require less powered heating and cooling through the seasons.

Good news for your power bill in Canberra’s cold winters and hot dry summers!

With block sizes reducing and population increasing, noise pollution is becoming a greater concern in Canberra. Unwanted or harmful sounds have increasingly become part of our suburban landscape and can be a significant disturbance to our lifestyle.

THE KITCHEN WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE HOME If you are thinking of updating or renovating, now is the right time to start your research. Do you like to be looking out at the garden when washing up? Do you eat breakfast at a table or do you prefer sitting at a breakfast bar?

The modern kitchen is meeting central! It’s where family and friends gather together to chat over a cuppa, catch up on the latest news while prepping meals, work on computers, study and charge devices.

Sarah Flanagan, from Harvey Norman Commercial, says that consumers are increasingly searching for more energy efficiency and greater convenience throughout the entire home.

“Our priorities are for faster, more efficient cooking options, so we look for appliances that save energy, and taps that reduce water consumption for example, but the fastest growing trend is definitely, home automation.”Ms Flanagan said.

Once seen only in science fiction, the technology to truly create the kind of automated homes most of us only dream of, is here now!

Keyless entry, remote monitoring of security, management of appliances and other systems such as lighting and temperature control, are at the touch of a button. Another popular technological advancement is voice activation and remotely controlling an appliance with a smart device.

“Alongside the standard inclusion of energy monitoring, lighting and climate control, many homeowners are now integrating blinds, curtains, heated towel rails, underfloor heating and AV — all controlled by touch, tap and talk,” Ms Flannagan said.

Those ‘Smart Appliances’ designed to change our lives, deserve a dedicated place to call home, rather than vying for precious bench top space. So expect the butlers’ pantry to maintain or increase in popularity as technology continues to evolve. Whether it is an oversized appliance cupboard or a smaller second kitchen, the butlers’ pantry is a godsend when there’s no time to tidy the main kitchen before guests arrive.

Seamless benchtops or those with minimal seams are considered superior in terms of minimising germ traps.

COVID-19 has those in the building and construction industry, more conscious of facilitating the cleaning process into their designs. This involves, where possible, eliminating awkward corners, difficult to reach areas, complicated shapes — particularly where contact is frequent, such as doorknobs, handles and switches.

It’s not only about curb appeal, the right roofing material that is also professionally installed with appropriate insulation, increases the value, comfort and safety of your home.

“The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining” – President John F Kennedy

Smooth surfaces are not only easier to clean, they’re more functional for those with mobility issues. Architects, designers and builders are, to an increasing extent, recommending non-porous materials to their clients, given that porous materials can trap moisture and food particles.

Whether you’re building a new home or renovating an old one, it’s important to look beyond the interiors and think about the exterior of the home. Often overlooked in the beginning because it may not seem to be the most exciting aspect of the build, is the roof. According to Lee Moraschi, from Moraschi Roofing, the roof is one of the most important building elements to consider.

Every home needs a roof, and having the right roof makes all the difference. It’s not only about curb appeal, the right roofing material that is also professionally installed with appropriate insulation, increases the value, comfort and safety of your home. Essential to every house, roofs must

be given adequate time and focus as they serve us well, day-in-and-day-out. They keep us dry, protect us from the blistering sun, and shield us from unrelenting winds.

Mr Moraschi says choosing the right material is essential saying, “When choosing a roof, the important things to consider are what style, type and colour material will best complement the overall design of the home. With so many options to choose from, there’s a roofing material and colour just right for every home, but if your roof is not professionally installed, the issues will be endless, not to mention costly,” he added.

Poorly installed roofs will more often than not leak, allowing moisture and water to seep into the structure of the home, causing rot and mould. Structural rot can cause your home to become unstable and unsafe, while mould can affect the health of your family. Doing it right in the first place will save you more than money in the long run.

If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING Simon Tennent from the Suburban Land Agency said environmentally conscious homeowners are looking to build in areas designed to maximise passive solar energy from the outset.

“With families being at home a lot more during the Coronavirus Pandemic, increased running costs and heightened stress levels has forced many homeowners to reconsider the way they live. Those who invest wisely today will enjoy greater rewards with lower running costs in the future,” Mr Tennent said.

It’s easier to achieve maximum results if everything is clear from the start. Changing the plans on the run, almost always negatively impacts the budget and it can affect the overall cohesiveness of the design.

Make the most of your opportunities by doing your research and seeking advice where you think you need it.

To get the best value for money its worth preparing three checklists before choosing an architect, designer or builder. The primary list should be the non-negotiables, like the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, kitchen requirements and specific inclusions. The second is the highly desirable list, and the third is like a wish list.

If the design team and builder are fully aware of absolutely everything the homeowner would love to have in their new home or renovation before starting the design process, they can look at all possibilities in order to achieve the optimum outcome within the homeowner’s budget. Knowing whether space is more important than inclusions or vice versa allows the team to make informed design decisions. It’s easier to achieve maximum results if everything is clear from the start. Changing the plans on the run, almost always negatively impacts the budget and it can affect the overall cohesiveness of the design.

FEATURE NEW DECADE INNOVATION TRENDS

Whitlam Render Provided by Surburban Land Agency

If a renovation is not in the budget, easy add-ons can provide comfort and convenience, as well as a little pizazz. Updating your lighting system, adding a new bench top or cupboard doors, can all provide a budget friendly overhaul.

Whether you are contemplating a face-lift, a knock down and rebuild, or a new construction in one of Canberra’s fabulous subdivisions, the future is now.

Make the most of your opportunities by doing your research and seeking advice where you think you need it.

Available in five neutral colours, from subtle, lighter tones through to bolder, darker hues, COLORBOND steel Matt diffuses light to create a soft and textured appearance. Tested in some of Australia’s harshest conditions, its strength and durability are perfect counterpoints to its designer appearance.
