Grand Designs Australia Magazine House of the Year Awards
The Grand Designs Australia Magazine House of the Year Awards proudly puts the spotlight on residential architecture. Any project entered will be seen by the Editor of Grand Designs Australia magazine and may receive coverage in the year of the program or even after, based on merit. We also take the shortlisted projects and showcase them to a community of prospective future clients who want to learn who is doing what in this arena. Given the standard is so high, being on the Showcase Shortlist is a meritorious achievement. This year the Showcase Shortlist activation delivered more than 2.7 million touchpoints to that community and received 98,000 engagements.
