"The sustainability shortlist in Architecture Australia’s annual Houses Awards
demonstrates new ways of thinking about the places we call home, whether it be
replacing a large garage with a place to “stare up at the stars”, or the first
true net-zero home in Western Australia. House Awards jury chair Alexa Kempton
said: ‘The jury was pleased to see … examples of homeowners taking agency over
their homes’ environmental impacts.’
She hopes that this is ‘as much a consequence of a growing demand from
consumers as it is a result of advocacy from the architects. The tenets of
reduce and reuse also apply to building, and the jury saw many examples of
creative and prudent adaptations that regenerated existing housing, rather than
building new.’"
