Extension Makes Cottage the Ultimate Family Beach House
25/10/2010 - HIA Media Release
Stepup Constructions celebrated their success at the 2010 HIA CSR NSW Housing Awards on Saturday night.
The Warriewood company won the Renovation/Addition Project Under $300,000 category for their Mona Vale project.
Judges said, “considerable thought has gone into the construction of this rear extension to make this cottage the ultimate family beach house. Detailing and characteristics of the existing dwelling have informed the detailing of the new internal and external living spaces. Substantial space is provided for extended family entertaining. The use of skylights brings abundant sunlight into the centre of the house. The upper level is setback ensuring the character of the existing dwelling is maintained.”
HIA’s partner for the title is Stratco.
Congratulating Stepup Constructions 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.”

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.
