Cleveland Rooftop by SJB
Transforming the rooftop of this heritage-listed industrial building is SJB in collaboration with William Dangar. SJB have specified Eco Outdoor Endicott® split stone throughout the interior and exterior of the project choosing materials that offered the inherent qualities of age and patina.

You can see more details and read the story behind the design here in our Architectural Project feature.
Newport House by Koichi Takada Architects
Koichi Takada Architects together with J Group Projects have built a resort-style waterfront home that capitalises on the incredible aspect. With a desire to “let nature do the work” Koichi Takada has incorporated natural materials such as Eco Outdoor Crackenback® Freeform® walling into the design. Also featured in this home are several of our outdoor furniture pieces include Burleigh Daybeds, Nomah® Lounge Chairs, Ord® Lounge and the Hunter Easy Chairs.
Newport House has been shortlisted for best New House over 200m2.
Beach House by Clayton Orszaczky
This beach house designed by Clayton Orszacky was designed to provide the inhabitants with protection from the southwesterly winds of the NSW coast. The understated beach aesthetic is emphasised through the use of timber and natural materials including Eco Outdoor® Endicott® crazy paving.
Beach House has been shortlisted for best New House over 200m2 and the Emerging Practice award.
House at Ben Buckler by Scale Architecture

St Vincents Place by B.E Architecture
B.E Architecture are not afraid to celebrate natural stone in their interiors as seen in their project Armadale House. St Vincents Place is another project which is a reinterpretation of classical references with a modern sensibility through space and materiality. Featured in this project is Eco Outdoor® Fallow Granite.
St Vincents Place is shortlisted for best House Alteration & Addition Over 200m2 and the Heritage award.
Morningside Residence by Kieron Gait Architects
Kieron Gait Architects have added a sympathetic garden pavilion to an old 1920’s Queenslander. Connected by an open, yet covered deck, the pavilion encourages the breeze to flow through the site allowing the family to feel like they’re sitting within the garden. The Eco Outdoor® Endicott® crazy paving helps merge the structure with the soft landscape and reflects the era of the existing home.
Morningside Residence is shortlisted for best House Alteration & Addition Over 200m2.
We wish all the 2018 Houses Awards shortlisted firms the best of luck. Winners of the awards will be announced on Friday 27 July 2018 at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney.
