PMA Awarded for Design Excellence

Residential project wins accolades for innovation

December 13th, 2007

This residential house, in Cape Schanck, Victoria, has qualities worthly of serious recognition.

Designed by Paul Morgan Architects (PMA), this small coastal house recieved due praise at the (inside) Design Excellence Awards: idea07 in November, where it was announced as the residential winner, as well as the overall winner for design excellence.

The design was judged on its form, interior, environmental credentials, materials, site location and boundary-pushing design.

Further acknowledging the excellence in the design, the Cape Schanck house won the 2007 National RAIA Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture. This major accolade followed a Houses Award in the 2007 RAIA Awards Victorian Chapter.

Slightly futuristic, while at the same time retro-esque, the interior of the home boasts a striking structural multipurpose trunk as a centrepiece (pictured). Working as structural support as well as a water storage tank, innovation takes new form in this impressive feat of design.

Kōri Ice Cream is here! A new ice cream parlour has opened in Melbourne that features retail interior design at its very best. With summer on its way, this new destination will wow both young and old and is certain to be the place to meet and gather. With outstanding icy products, and an interior design that is more than impressive, Kōri Ice Cream is a stand out on every level.

Ice cream has a special place in everyone’s life and now this cold sweet treat has an exciting new, purpose-designed home that pleases the eye while satisfying the cold treat cravings. Designed by the exemplary, and aptly named, Architects EAT, Kōri Ice Cream is certainly making a name for itself for excellent ice cream and stunning interior design.

Located in Hawthorn on busy Glenferrie Road, queues have been known to form just to taste the delicious and unusual flavours of ice cream but it’s upon arrival at the shop that the experience really begins. The outside hints at what is inside, the heritage façade is painted white with a large terracotta/red (Dulux Retro Disco) stripe on the side.
