Stillwater Seven claims 2020 Paul Davis Award

The award winner announcement took place today at the 2020 Australian Hotel Industry Convention and Exhibition, presented by HM Magazine and headline sponsored by Intrust Super and Hostplus. One of the judges, Paul Wiste from Design Assembly, said the winning entry was chosen unanimously by the selection panel.

“This project was noted for its creative response to transforming a derelict industrial building into a cozy getaway.

“The judges commented on the thoughtful use of materials and the interplay between the memory of the former flour mill structure and the intervention of the new design. The layering of the colour and texture was also a highlight, with rough wood grains and stone contrasting the solid colours and patterned surfaces.

“From its humble entrance, the property reveals itself as a delightful and imaginative project, creating a new destination for both the local community and the curious traveller.”
