Villa Marittima by Robin Williams Architect. Photography: Dean Bradley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn awarding the project at the Victorian Architecture Awards in June, the jury noted \u2018To view Villa Marittima simply as a meticulously detailed example of minimalist architecture would be an incomplete interpretation. This home presents a memorable series of living experiences which arise from unique architectural responses to site, brief and the surrounding landscape.\u2019<\/p>\n
The project description details that the expansive ocean views are revealed as visitors ascend the home\u2019s tranquil spaces. Much like when climbing a sand dune, the panoramic vista is the reward at the top.<\/p>\n
Voters also had the opportunity to tell us which house they voted for and why for the chance to win some great prizes including a paint package from official People\u2019s Choice Award supporter, Dulux, with winners to be announced later in the year.<\/p>\n
All projects that were shortlisted by the National Jury for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New) and Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (Alterations and Additions) were eligible for the People\u2019s Choice Award.<\/p>\n
The winners of the National Architecture Awards as judged by the National Jury will be announced on Thursday 5 November in Brisbane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
