Скачать или смотреть Think Brick Awards 2015 Roof Tile Excellence Finalists

Announced at a gala presentation at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne on Thursday 13 August, twenty-six exemplary projects from across Australia have been recognized in the 2015 Think Brick Awards, Australia’s richest design awards. Now in its ninth year, the Think Brick Awards celebrates design excellence in the use of clay brick, concrete masonry and roof tiles by Australia’s best architects and designers.

The Roof Tile Excellence Award recognizes innovation and craftsmanship in the use of concrete and terracotta roof tiles in residential or commercial building designs.

In 2015 the awards jury considered a record number of entries to the Roof Tile Excellence Award category, with one winner and four finalists chosen from more than 300 entries. The jury comprised of renowned architects and experts, including Jayson Blight (COX Architecture, QLD), Clare Cousins (Clare Cousins Architects, VIC), Anupama Kundoo (Anupama Kundoo, Spain/India), Cameron Bruhn (Architecture Media) and Elizabeth McIntyre (Think Brick).

This year’s winner of the Roof Tile Excellence Award is Camino House (WA) by Bosske, who receives a $10,000 cash prize.

The Camino House is located in Mt Lawley, north of Perth. The suburb’s vernacular is typified by an eclectic mix of federation houses with some remodelled in a European style, the result of a largely Italian migrant population. Designed in the manner of an “oast,” the new portion of the building mimics the surrounding chimney forms, of neighbouring housing and the Lincoln Street Incinerator.

The jury commented, “Strong contextual references and a singular material selection have created an emphatic house extension. The application of the roof tiles, which wrap the entire house in graphic continuity, is a testament to the collaborative process.”
