As part of its commitment to the Year of the Built
Environment 2004, Archicentre is undertaking
Mosman Green, a major renovation project of a
cottage in Mosman, Sydney.
The project valued at $2 million will be used to
demonstrate best practice in sustainable residential
renovation using an Architect's creative design skills.

Archicentre has purchased a run-down, single storey
house on Sydney's North Shore in Mosman.
A design competition will be held amongst our
Architects, with a winner selected by a judging panel
to carry out the project.
The aim of the brief for the architects will be to
convert this old, run-down, traditional residence into a
contemporary family home with a strong
environmental sustainability focus.
The winner of the competition will be commissioned by
Archicentre to undertake the renovation from its
conception to its completion.
Upon the completion of construction there will be an
extended open house period prior to auction. It is
anticipated that the home will be sold at
a profit, demonstrating to the public the financial value
that can be added to their home through renovations.
