Salvado Street Residence wins award
Bates Smart + Madeleine Blanchfield Architects won the prestigious Marshall Clifton Award for Residential Architecture - Houses at the 2010 AIA Western Australia Awards.
Jury comment: “This outstanding design creates a very successful relationship between major living spaces, terrace, street and marine environment. Generous and delightful spaces are created from the modest footprint of two pavilions, one open and the other private and linked by an internal courtyard, is a very successful response to local climate and marine environment. The special ambiance of this building is in part due to the careful and controlled selection of natural local materials which have been crafted together with great skill and meticulous detailing. The resulting delightful home is understated and not at all ostentatious.”
