Best lifestyle villa design for Global Awards shortlisted

NEW YORK: The shortlist for the best lifestyle villa design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

Estate developer Russell Lester said Kingston Residential Estate included a provision for the development of a seniors community and Eden life struck a balance between affordability and resort-style living.

He said the land lease model continued to be a credible alternative to the ever-increasing challenge of finding affordable housing for older Australians.

“What we have developed is based on many years of experience both in built form and community operations to achieve a blank canvas to help mould and form an amalgam of life experiences into a strong and vibrant community facilitating a level of engagement that suits diversity,” Mr Lester said.

“Already we are seeing some wonderful examples of what community can be.”

The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
