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.
New York-based Droga bought the crumbling bungalow Lang Syne above the coastal walk at Tamarama for a record-breaking $45m last May, and plans are set to be lodged with Waverley Council for a new “landmark residence” by the prominent architectural firm.
When reflecting upon the sale, Droga said it was a “wonderfully irresponsible thing to do”.
“I always thought it was the best piece of land in Sydney.”
Information due to be published on the Rosselli architects website today quotes Rosselli advising: “The design [for the house] will be unique, befitting the unique location, it has the potential of being our best building for the decade … or longer.”
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
