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.

‘Gill House’ on the river in Norman Park is now complete and was recently officially christened with a black-tie housewarming attended by the who’s who of property and finance.

Some 300 people walked a red carpet and schmoozed their way around Mr Panettiere’s brand new, four-storey house made from concrete and frameless glass.

Real estate agents, models, developers, restaurateurs, and entrepreneurs were among the guests at the party.

The house is certainly spectacular. Made from pre-cast concrete, it features a pool, pool deck and barbecue terrace facing the river, a downstairs bunker with adjoining bathroom, a top floor master suite with a lavish walkthrough dressing room and a marble-clad ensuite with a circular bath and matching skylight.

There’s a jetty and pontoon, and there’s even a giant painting of Mr Panettiere gracing the wall in the main living area.

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