Architect Shannon Battisson from The Mill: Architecture + Design specialises in curating homes with a focus on passive, sustainable design.

With a love of celebrating what home really means for all her clients, Shannon's efforts have this time delivered a fully considered design for her own family, which is balanced, efficient and a joy to live in. The award winner.

"I design houses. Those humble little buildings that we ask so much of. They are where we return at the end of each day, where we bring our babies home to when they are born, where we retreat when we are sick, where we welcome our friends and family when we gather. And this year, like never before in my lifetime, they have been where we shelter during times of trouble. In one year alone, a home has protected my family from toxic smoke, been an escape from a bushfire the likes of which I have never seen before, and a global pandemic. Be they big or small, single or grouped together, our homes are sacred spaces unlike any other in our world. Think about that. Really, think about it. Why wouldn't I love that I am lucky enough to dedicate my working life to the celebration of such an important part of our lives?" Shannon Battisson
