An industrial-inspired home located in NSW bushland was announced the overall winner at the 2016 National Building Design Awards, hosted by the Building Designers Association of Australia (BDA).

The Grange, designed by NSW’s James Collins, was awarded the Design Excellence Award ahead of a healthy number of residential, multi-res and commercial projects, produced by BDA members in Tasmania, WA, the ACT and NSW.

The project also took home one of the 20-plus category prizes, handed out by the BDA at their national conference held at Tweed Heads in September.

All winning projects as well as commendations have been published in the BDA’s special edition ‘Winning Design’ e-book which is available here.
