In 2018 we entered the "Castle Boatshed" into the Master Builders House of the Year Awards.  This is stage one of a two-staged project for one of our local architectural designers "Studio 77".  We were absolutely delighted to receive a Gold Award in the $450,000 to $550,000 New Homes Category.  Designed in the style of a humble boatshed, this home is much more clever than meets the eye at first glance.  The cedar-clad dwelling includes everything you could need for high-end living and entertaining, from summer through to winter.  Designed to pack plenty into a 219sqm footprint, the 'boatshed' responds well to the needs of its owners and guests.  This expertly executed, cost-conscious build achieved a score of 93% for workmanship.       

Winner of the House of the Year Gold Award, 2018
