Ivanhoe House Receives 2024 Houses Awards Commendation for Heritage Excellence
August 2024
We’re thrilled to share that our Ivanhoe project, otherwise referred to as Crown Road, has received a Commendation in the 2024 Houses Awards for a House in a Heritage Context.
Our Ivanhoe project is an adaptive re-use of a mid-century home that began with a Master Plan and Feasibility Study, allowing us to explore what was possible within the site’s heritage constraints before progressing to detailed design.
Celebrating Excellence in Heritage Architecture
This prestigious category celebrates exceptional work in new constructions and conservation projects within heritage settings. To qualify, a project must be under statutory heritage protection by a local authority or a higher level, though exceptional cases may be considered. Our submission highlighted how we thoughtfully integrated renovation and alterations with conservation efforts to honour and enhance the site’s heritage significance, demonstrating excellence in adaptive reuse and conservation.
Sponsored by Heritage Council Victoria
Importantly, we are particularly proud that this award is sponsored by Heritage Council Victoria. This reflects our commitment to preserving and enriching our architectural heritage.
A Collaborative Effort
This project was a collaborative effort with the Architect Hewson. We are grateful for our partnership in bringing this vision to life.
