Gold Award: Converting a Basement into a Self-contained Apartment in Napier by Sophia Roydhouse-Ross and Mike Ross
Few of us would be thrilled about moving into a space referred to as “the dungeon”, but this smart and stylish conversion to a fully functioning granny flat is as warm and inviting as it gets. 
A contemporary black and white palette with luxury details, including marble benchtops, matte fixtures, and built-in appliances, make this unit feel more penthouse than basement. 
Built-in shelving creates the perfect place to display decor without cluttering the suite. And to ensure the basement’s dungeon status is a thing of the past, large windows and sliding glass doors capture maximum sunlight making the suite bright and airy.

Silver Award: Potential in Papakowhai: Contemporary Design in This Family Home by Steve Wang
The design might be minimalist but this garage turned sleepout/office is brimming with smart, functional features that make for a versatile space. 
Keeping the conversion simple allowed this former garage to become a multi-purpose space that can be used as a guest suite, living area, office, or laundry room. 
Contemporary cedar cladding on the frontage of this former garage, paired with a chic black door, achieve the perfect welcoming touches that finish off this beautifully modern conversion, suitable for guests and family alike.

Bronze Award: House Renovation and Loft Conversion in South London, England by Asif Hameed
High-end finishes and a superb design left this loft conversion completely unrecognisable in the best of ways. 
The suite now boasts a bedroom and a spacious bathroom, creating an ambience of relaxation and serenity. 
Skylights allow natural light to brighten up the space, while adding to the charm on a starry night. Minimalist in approach, design is most certainly in the detail of this conversion, proving that simplicity can be luxurious when completed to a high quality.
