The Sydney Harbour YHA building has been awarded the Best Small Commercial at this year's BPN Sustainability Awards, held at WatersEdge Sydney.
In its 5th year, the national awards program was created by Building Products News (BPN) magazine to recognise the best in Australia's Building Industry.
The YHA site has been subject to an archaeological examination and the need to protect this archaeology was prominent in the hostels design. Situated in the heart of the rocks and surrounded by heritage buildings, it required Alucobond Architectural's Terracade terracotta facade tiles to blend into the environment.
Terracade clay tiles are environmentally friendly, long life and low maintenance products that will create an aesthetically authentic facade for years to come.
More information on Terracade terracotta facade tiles is available from Alucobond Architectural .
