The top residential award for 2009, the Robin Dods Awards for residential architecture, has gone to a beachhouse in Yepoon on the Central Queensland Coast by architect Brian Hooper.

Jury Director Justin O’Neill said the house was an outstanding example of coastal infill: “a modern interpretaion of the beach house vernacular and a great precedent for future beach houses in this coastal zone”.

The X1-Series balustrades were an ideal choice from the architect as they are capable of withstanding the harsh environments of its coastal location as well as providing striking good looks whilst maximising the view attainable through it.
