Taking home multiple awards is the ‘Showhouse 5’, by Louise O Architects and the team at W3O, with interior designer Tiggs Crozet. Showhouse 5 has been awarded Best Architecture, Best Interior Design, Best Landscaping, and Best Build, by multiple prestigious judges.
“The last time we designed a home for a Century HomeShow, it was a home that everyone wanted, but not everyone was able to afford,” says Louise Osborne of Louise O Architects. “Times have changed significantly in the last 11 years, and once again we set out to design a dream home, but this time the goal was to make it more affordable without losing any of the important aspects of great design and style.”
With a stylish layout designed around maximising the amount of garden space on the property. By maximising the connection between garden space and each room, beautiful light travels throughout the home, a signature-Louise O connection with nature bringing an overall sense of calm throughout this home.
“Our goal was to build a home that offers unbelievable value for money, complete with top quality, high-end finishes. Through clever designs, many joint years of great experience in the industry, and economies of scale, we achieved our goal of making dream homes a reality, not just for the fortunate people who get to buy this particular showhouse, but many other families too,” says Louise Osborne.
