Adam Roser, director of South Coast Building Design, won a Commendation in the BDAA Sydney Regional Chapter Design Awards 2020, New Residential Buildings category, for his Coalcoast Hamptons design. This large, classically styled silvery home, the judges proclaimed, fulfilled the clients’ brief for a high-end coastal Hamptons aesthetic. With some lovely detailing in the parquetry flooring, ornate joinery and a muted fresh pastel palette, the design response was deemed subdued and elegant. A large home on a limited site footprint, with significant site constraints including a drainage easement, the site benefits from a north-facing rear garden. They also admired the clear set of documentation from a veteran new home designer.
