Architecturally inspired systems for superior style and performance

Win a trip to New Zealand!

Win a trip to New Zealand to attend the Home of the Year 2018 lectures brought to you by Altherm and HOME New Zealand magazine.

Home of the Year is New Zealand’s most prestigious – and lucrative – prize for residential architecture. The awards celebrate the best New Zealand homes: the winners are unique intersections between a client’s needs and an architect’s vision.

The 2018 awards will be judged by Melissa Bright, of MAKE Architecture, along with Nicholas Stevens of Stevens Lawson Architects. 

Melissa is one of Australia’s most exciting young architects, with a reputation for building thoughtful, delicate houses on tough urban sites. From her small Melbourne practice, MAKE Architecture, she creates homes that are not just delightful to look at and live in, but are also designed to create community. Mel is a former Victorian Emerging Architect Prize Winner which we are the major sponsor of. 

The lectures will see Mel discuss recent projects, and the joys and challenges of contemporary residential architecture.

Home of the Year 2018 is sponsored by our sister company APL’s residential brand Altherm Window Systems.
