Queensland Building Design Awards

Presented by the Building Designer’s Assoc. of Qld

Owen Batchelor and East Coast Building Design have consistently been award winning designers since 2001, achieving numerous awards and accolades since.

2018

  • STATE FINALIST – CONCEPTUAL AND UN-BUILT PROJECTS
  • this project involved a major addition and refurbishment of a waterfront property on the Brisbane River. the clients were happy in every way however at the last minute decided not to proceed due to personal circumstances and lifestyle decisions.
  • this did not prevent the project from becoming an award winning design.
  • there was some stiff competition at the state level so unfortunately we have to be content with being the best in Brisbane rather than the best in Qld.

2014 – 2017

  • Quality is more important than quantity, and rather than just submit anything, I prefer to wait until the right project is ready for submission, and often that takes a while. None of the projects completed in 2013 or 2014 proved to be worthy of submission at that time.
  • 2013 and 2014 have been the toughest years on record in our industry, so i decided to take time off to upgrade my qualifications and extend my license. From 2016 onward we will be licensed to “Open Class” with no restriction on height or building type.
  • thank you for your patience
