Top 10 Architecture Awards 2020 – Aubrey Coetzee

The goal with my entry was to achieve, as the brief title suggested, the perfect balance,” says Aubrey. “A balance between old and new, contemporary, and traditional and in the architectural palette by combining materials that I felt complimented each other to achieve harmony. I tried to echo this balance in my presentation by selecting a more simplistic style over realistic renders to keep the focus on the proposal itself rather than photorealistic renders. The hope was also that this approach would allow my proposal to stand out and be memorable – similar to my intention for the building itself in its given context.
