Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted
LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.
Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.
The estate comprising the two buildings – the cottage was built about three years ago – is owned by Brisbane power couple Steve and Jane Wilson.
Mr Wilson’s late father John Wilson built the first resort on Lizard Island in 1975.
Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest and his wife Nicola’s private investment company Tattarang splashed out $42m for Lizard Island late last year, but the 2500ha purchase of a lease until 2050 does not include the resort, which will manage the house and the cottage.
The estate is on a private corner of the island, has three private beaches, and can house up to eight people.
The Global Award winner will be announced in November in London. (Globals)
