The Jury Citations for the project are:

Inala Infill Apartments demonstrates how considered planning can create meaningful connection to place, landscape, and community, without sacrificing the privacy of individual dwellings. A commitment to Modern Methods of Construction drives the use of CLT structure, reducing the building’s carbon footprint while grounding the project in natural elements and bringing warmth to everyday living. Locally sourced brick and careful planning of site, tie the project to its surrounding built fabric, demonstrating that social housing can be genuinely rooted in place. 

And,

This social housing project delivers a thoughtful, climate-responsive residential environment through careful site planning and material efficiency. The well-considered layout minimises cut and fill while providing appropriate building separation, privacy and optimal orientation for all dwellings. A substantial rainwater tank captures roof runoff to support centrally located community gardens, strengthening social connection and resilience.
The building incorporates prefabricated cross-laminated timber, manufactured off site to deliver a high-quality finish while reducing construction time, on-site labour and embodied emissions. Open access corridors facilitate effective front-to-back and side-to-side natural ventilation to all homes, while dropped-level walkways maintain privacy to screened balconies. Integrated vertical landscaping across the two-storey height balances built form and greenery, complemented by bio-retention basins that manage onsite stormwater. Louvres and shade structures minimise heat gain, enhance comfort and provide privacy, resulting in a breathable, sustainable and people-centred housing outcome
