Mick Corcoran Building celebrated their success at the 2010 HIA CSR NSW Housing Awards on Saturday night. The Emerald Beach company won the Bathroom of the Year and Alfresco Kitchen categories for their Sapphire Beach project.
Judges said, “the bathroom is simply stunning with excellent attention to detail. The quality of workmanship is evident throughout. The natural tones of the material used compliment the whole project and stunning views.”
Similarly the alfresco kitchen impressed the judges who said, “the client’s requirements were met in every way. The kitchen is positioned in the hub of the home – adjoining the kitchen / living and outdoor entertaining area for practicality reasons and expanding the useable work area if catering for a larger group. Features include a gas BBQ, teppan-yaki cookplate, built in fridges, storage cupboards, a large preparation area and a sink. The floor is tiled with travertine to blend with the rest of the house and the ceiling is lined with Tasmanian oak boards.”
HIA’s partner’s for these titles are Caroma Dorf and housinglocal.com.au.
Congratulating Mick Corcoran Building on such an outstanding achievement, HIA’s NSW Executive Director, David Bare, said the 40th anniversary awards were an excellent display of the housing industry’s capacity, innovation and resilience in difficult circumstances.
“It is encouraging to see that in challenging times HIA’s builders and designers have maintained their commitment to excellence. The high calibre of entries shows that support for these awards has yet again been incredible.”
“Major winners tonight can look forward to progressing to HIA’s national awards next year and we wish them every success.”
The awards were held in front of a sell-out black-tie audience at the Sydney Convention Centre. Special guests included Minister for Planning, Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Lands, Tony Kelly; Shadow Minister for Planning and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Brad Hazzard; Paul Manks, Regional General Manager, CSR Lightweight Systems and HIA’s NSW President, Martin Walsh.
This year’s theme was Treasures of the East. Guests were entertained by the spectacular 1001 Arabian Nights show. MC for the evening was witty media presenter and comedian, Amanda Keller.
The Association’s showcase awards night recognise excellence in housing innovation, material selection, design, construction and services to the NSW residential building industry.
