Emerging Architect Country Home
Studio | Architect: - Perit Bernard Vella
The award was won by Perit Bernard Vella for his project Country home. From an emerging architect, this is a mature and elegant scheme, which demonstrates respect for the vernacular character of the original building envelope and rural context within the scenic countryside. The alterations to the exterior are well considered and restrained permitting full legibility as to the interface between the original structure and the new interventions. The interior spaces are entirely new but well integrated within this existing building envelope. The design produced a well-articulated sequence of internal spaces, permeability between inside and outside, clear visual sight lines and emphasis on the introduction of natural light.
