Emerald home an eye-catcher

By VICTORIA STONE-MEADOWS

A BUILDING project in Emerald has been nominated for a Residential Design Award in this year’s Building Designers Association of Victoria’s (BDAV) Building Design Awards.
The BDAV Building Design Awards celebrates Victoria’s best building designers across residential design, interior design, heritage conservation, energy efficient design and non-residential design.
The Emerald nominee for these awards is a residential dwelling designed by Graham Jones of Graham Jones Design, located next to the Puffing Billy train line.
It is being recognised for its cohesive and strong design solutions that are not only unique, but thoroughly considered within every facet of the design’s execution.
The design of the house has also been nominated for the People’s Choice Award, which allows Victorians to choose their favourite design project from across the state.
BDAV president Alistair McDonald encouraged the public to take the time to appreciate Victoria’s best in building design and discover their passion for creative and sustainable design.
“The People’s Choice Award gives people the chance to vote for the project they believe is the most innovative, visually stunning and technically advanced design,” Mr McDonald said.
