‘Solar Verandah’ wins National Trust heritage award

The Manly ‘Solar Verandah’ has been awarded a High Commendation in the 2014 National Trust Queensland Heritage Awards.
The project was commended for the David Eades Award, which recognises achievements in applying sustainability principles in the conservation of any heritage place.

Jury citation: “A thoughtful project that replaces an intrusive addition to the heritage-listed house with a functional, free-standing verandah which is shaded by a roof formed from photovoltaic solar panels. The project provides inspiration for turning unsympathetic solar panels into a compatible visual element.”
