Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

An Adelaide home built out of eight shipping containers on arguably the city’s smallest block has been snapped up in a million-dollar deal.

The striking modern house at 10-12 Hamilton Place sold for $1.35m five weeks after hitting the market.

While it failed to sell at auction on March 16, the residence that towers four storeys above its 90sq m block was later listed with a $1.3m price guide.

Ray White Adelaide City agent Marco Lai, who sold the property with agency director Andrew Downing, said it attracted a lot of interest throughout the campaign, including from many curious about its unique design.

The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
