The Snug wins at the Good Design Awards

On Friday September 16th, our modest Coburg project, The Snug, received a prestigious Good Design Award Winner Accolade in the Architectural Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation!

 The Good Design Awards Jury commented: “This beautiful home is an example of how great design can add quality of life and experience at even a very modest scale. Thoughtfully and elegantly designed to maximise impact, the designers were able to demonstrate highly efficient use of space and materials. This home has created a place that is both fantastic for its occupants, but also the planet. Congratulations on this excellent outcome.”

Thank you to the Good Design Awards and the jury for their wonderful words, it is incredibly encouraging and it truly means a lot to receive this acknowledgement. Thank you also to our amazing clients for making this possible and to Natural Build for masterfully realising our vision.

About the Good Design Awards:

The Australian Good Design Awards is the country’s oldest and most prestigious international awards for design and innovation with a proud history dating back to 1958. Each year, the Awards celebrate the best new products and services on the Australian and international market, excellence in architectural design, engineering, fashion, digital and communication design, and reward new and emerging areas of design including design strategy, social impact design, design research and up-and-coming design talent in the next-gen category.

The 2022 Good Design Awards attracted high-quality design projects from Australia and around the world. These innovative projects were evaluated by more than 70 Australian and international Jurors, including designers, engineers, architects and thought leaders. Each entry was evaluated according to a strict set of design evaluation criteria which includes Good Design, Design Innovation and Design Impact. 

Projects recognised with an Australian Good Design Award demonstrate excellence in professional design and highlight the impact a design-led approach has on business success and social and environmental outcomes.
