COMMENDATIONS

SHORTLIST

IN PROFILE Officer Woods • Robust, versatile and seasonally responsive, the distinctive houses of this Fremantle studio are shaped not by the transience of fashion but rather the everyday patterns of habitation.

Cavill House by Hayes and Scott • In postwar Brisbane, local practice Hayes and Scott was a leading proponent of a regional modernism attuned to the sub-tropical climate. Built in 1978, Cavill House in Gold Coast’s Runaway Bay is modest, climatically astute yet also playful, and a delightful example of the practice’s experimental coastal architecture.

Cultivated • A new program for the restoration and refurbishment of authentic furniture and lighting champions the quality and longevity of great design.
