Speaking at the launch Mr Johnson said, "The innovative project to design and build an environmental renovation to promote and showcase best practice in sustainable housing design, environmental building products and master planning of renovations is timely as it coincides with the State Government's move towards more sustainable housing."

"The importance of this showcase provides an invaluable demonstration to the public of practical features and benefits in sustainability for home owners and renovators."

Mr Lawrence said, "The brief for the architects to convert the old, run-down, traditional residence into a contemporary family home with a strong environmental sustainability focus had attracted interest from eighty- seven New South Wales Architects."

"All submissions were of a very high standard and demonstrated great creativity in diverse design solutions to the brief."

Mr Lawrence said that Archicentre is pleased to have Boral, Mosman City Council and Di Jones Real Estate as partners in this project, which will take eighteen months to complete.

"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 using an architect."
