Neche Page’s Beauty Point Project has won the Interiors category of the BDAA Sydney Regional Chapter Design Awards 2020.

Judges praised the design’s nice original fireplace and tasteful opening; deeming the project a quality outdoor remodel that met the challenge of turning an older house into a contemporary family home. They praised Page’s excellent documentation, and the way that her design was addressed by the redistribution of spaces to suit a more modern lifestyle--and the featured use of INEX board in the kitchen.
