A 1960s-style home with ocean views was one of the two latest prize-winning designs by Bell Block based architectural designer Tony Biesiek. The regional New Zealand Architectural Design Awards covering Manawatu, Whanganui and Taranaki invited designers to submit entries across seven categories, including residential, commercial and industrial projects. The awards night in New Plymouth last week saw Mr Biesiek, of Imagine Building Design, win the architectural design award for a new home over 300sqm. He also picked up a colour design award for his transformation of a dilapidated New Plymouth restaurant. Winning awards was the best way to develop a good reputation, Mr Biesiek said. “It’s putting the worthwhile projects out there for national critique.”
