A waterfront residence with “extraordinary craftsmanship and innovation” has been recognised with multiple accolades at the Master Builders Sunshine Coast Housing & Construction Awards.
Azura, by Tyson Building Group, was acknowledged as the Sunshine Mitre 10 House of the Year at Novotel Twin Waters on Friday.
The house is defined by a sweeping roofline, curved built forms and a connection with the water’s edge.
The three-level home features a sculptural curved staircase at its heart, a passenger lift, and a basement featuring a car lift, gym and cellar.
Judges said Azura was “an exceptional riverfront residence distinguished by its extraordinary craftsmanship and innovation”.
“The seamless integration of natural stone, lime plaster and American Walnut showcase remarkable attention to detail, while the habitable basement built well below the high tide mark is a defining construction achievement.”
Superior craftsmanship also earned Tyson Building Group a rare clean sweep of the specialty categories including Best Residential Bathroom, Best Residential Kitchen, and Best Residential Swimming Pool, plus best Individual Home over $10 million.
Meanwhile, Wyer & Craw won the Residential Trade Contractor of the Year Award, after spending the best part of two years working with the Tyson team and their clients on a shared vision for Azura.
St Andrews Constructions took home the coveted BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award for modern Noosa Heads home, Babylon. The group also celebrated their own Niamh Johnstone winning the Women in Building Award.
RCQ scored a double for benchmark boutique high-rise residences, with Bianco – Caloundra winning the Bathersby Legal Project of the Year Award and Residential Building (high-rise over 3 storeys) from $20 million up to $50 million.
Reed & Co Homes also had two reasons to celebrate. Founder Damian Reed received the Xact Accounting Rising Star Award, while the team won best Individual Home from $600,000 up to $750,000 for Pelican Waters beauty Cato Residence.
The future looks bright for The Industry School Apprentice of the Year Award winner Oliver Cassells from Becker Constructions, who was applauded for his ability to work independently and solve complex construction challenges.
The Becker team was also awarded best Home Renovation Project from $1 million up to $2 million, for their Moffat Beach transformation, Derby.
Master Builders regional manager Nicola Scott said the construction industry on the Sunshine Coast was “extraordinary”.
