The renovation and reconfiguration of 1984 AV Jennings Display home on the Gold Coast.
From the National Awards Jury:
“If there’s a simple project that deserves to be applauded, it’s this renovation and reconfiguration by Nielsen Jenkins of an unremarkable 1984 AV Jennings project home in the backblocks of the Gold Coast. Among the aging Commodores and struggling palm trees, this budget intervention creates elevated spaces within the existing footprint and opens the house toward a new covered courtyard that finally gives this home the connection to climate it deserves. This is everyday, accessible architecture that paves the way for our aging suburban housing stock to evolve sustainably.”
