Best retirement house design for Global Awards shortlisted
LONDON: The shortlist for the best retirement house design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
Nestled high on the rolling hills of 32 hectares in Wensleydale, a secluded yet central pocket of the Surf Coast Hinterland, “the shed”, as is lovingly nicknamed by its owners, is indeed inspired by the quintessential Australian structure – but make no mistake, the Wensley is a far cry from an ordinary shed.
Its Melbourne-based owners Mike Robertson and Fran Derham came upon the property in 2011, falling instantly in love with the landscape.
The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
