Villa 
Project: Shearer's Quarters House, Australia
Architect: John Wardle Architects

A house on the site of an old shearing shed in North Bruny Island, Australia, designed by John Wardle Architects, has taken the prize in the villa category.

The judges said, 'This house distinguished itself for three other projects we felt almost worthy of an award because of its deeper evolution from research into the history and specificity of the site and region. The research resulted in a deceptively simple spatial and three-dimensional external outcome in which we could detect many layers of meaning.

'It also resulted in the use of unusual materials derived from the property's former use.'
