http://www.architecture01.com/environa/manly.htm
The house is part of a continuing exploration of courtyard housing by Environa Studio to provide both high environmental performance and good internal amenity and privacy on very small land areas. In order in order to maximise northern sun and light from the side boundary the new house has a courtyard form which differs markedly form the other 'box' style houses in the street.

http://www.architecture01.com/environa/glenayr.htm

Clovelly House: Kennedy Associates
http://www.architecture01.com/kennedy/clovelly.htm
The house, which has been designed to meet the very specific spatial and accessibility needs of the client, incorporates a range of innovations beyond the normal approaches of passive solar and environmental design - solar hot water, full insulation of internal and external walls and ceilings, solar pool heating, northern sun to living areas, shading from western sun, zoning, and appropriate landscaping. Awarded Gold Medal.

Tullerooke House: Mahalath Halperin Architects
http://www.architecture01.com/halperin/tullerooke.htm
The brief included: increase footprint and the accommodation (including extending living area, addition of music room, guest room, and parents' wing); update the existing bathroom & add another; maximise views, from north all the way around to south-east; increase ceiling height, or at least perception thereof; terracing of landscape and removal of ring road; and make the building function more efficiently with the incorporation of solar passive design features as well as active systems. Awarded Silver Medal.

Dual Occupancy, Bronte: John Hamilton Doyle
http://www.architecture01.com/doyle/bronte.htm
The client brief centred on their intention to save the interesting existing house from demolition and replacement by a Mc mansion. We also desired, as set out in DCP20 [cl.4.2-c] and d]] that the scheme be energy aware. Already we have saved the embodied energy in the existing house. But there are solar cells on the garage roof for an active system, and 90% of the roof water runoff is saved in a 30,000 l. under floor tank which will be used in the house and garden.

Adaptive Reuse of a Warehouse: Form Architects
http://www.architecture01.com/form/daphne.htm
This site is a group of 3 small factory unit/warehouses in an area of Botany that has been regarded 'Residential'. The approach adopted was to contain the dwelling within the existing envelope and to maximize external walls by creating 2 'courtyards' in diagonally opposite corners of each unit. The existing warehouse wall then becomes a screen rather than an enclosure. The main resource savings is the adaptive reuse of a redundant building. Awarded Silver Medal.
