The Australian Institute of Architects’ NSW Awards were announced on Friday, recognising excellence in Architecture and design in the state across categories spanning residential, commercial and public buildings.
There were some worthy winners and commendments listed, but we’ve selected a few of our favourites in the residential categories.
The Wilkinson Award for Residential Architecture (New Houses) was awarded to Surry Hills based Chenchow Little for their work on the ‘Glebe House’. The owners are ecstatic with the result, trumpeting that their new home is ‘inviting and luxurious and yet simple and humble.’

Chenchow Little took another major award, this time in the Residential Architecture — Houses (Alterations and Additions) category. This Balmain addressed property is named “Redwood” and has a cantilevered design with an incredible backdrop. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect residence.

The Hugh and Eva Buhrich Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions) went to Andrew Burges Architects for this Bondi semi dubbed the ‘Bismarck House’. The corner site offers a bold statement on its large frontage with exposed steel and glass.
