The judges who awarded this honour to Phil Benton Builders put it simply: “this wonderfully constructed home demonstrates an incredibly high level of accuracy” on what they described as an “architecturally very innovative and challenging project.”
The exterior of this spacious 606 square metre home juxtaposes the rawness of exposed concrete and layered steel frames against the warmth of oak and cedar shutters and trim.
