Willoughby Heritage Awards 2012 Winners

The Willoughby Heritage Awards 2012 presentation was held on Wednesday 18 April 2012, at The Concourse.

The presentation night was opened by the Mayor of Willoughby, Councillor Pat Reilly, and MC'd by General Manager of Willoughby Council, Mr Nick Tobin.

Scott Robertson, Heritage Consultant from Robertson & Hindmarsh, represented the judging panel in commenting on the entrants and announcing the award winners.

Alterations and Additions

Each entry in the Alterations and Additions category was of a high standard. The hard work and personal investment that these owners have put into their homes will ensure that these pieces of Willoughby's heritage will be secure and well maintained for future generations. These owners have succeeded in both respectfully conserving these buildings and creating homes which meet every aspiration of a contemporary lifestyle.

Restoration

In this category, careful research and attention to detail must underpin the work and investigation into building fabric. An understanding of its history and development and a willingness to find just the right detailing or materials to respect the building's significance together determine the winner.

Infill / Adaptive Reuse

The design and realisation of good infill development is an area of architecture where strong guidance is available in design literature, as well as from the buildings and streetscape in the immediate vicinity of any site. Good infill design is about "fitting in" respecting the surrounding form, character, scale, siting, materials, colour and detailing.
