2008 Best Private Housing Development
The Barge Arm Development
Architect: Edward Cullinan Architects
Brickwork contractor: Cowlin Construction
Brick: Ibstock: Birtley Olde English
The Judges enjoyed the way in which this new building acknowledges its context by taking clues from the existing warehouses without slavishly copying them. Whilst there are a number of materials used externally, the brickwork provides a unifying theme that is fundamental to the success of the composition. The buildings create a number of external spaces that enhance the experience of living in these well designed apartments.
