Acqua Cronulla wins the MBA 2022 Excellence in Housing & Pool Awards
Multi-award-winning developer and construction group, Bronxx, has won the Master Builders Association’s (MBA) most prestigious 2022 Excellence in Housing & Pool Award award for Acqua Cronulla in the category Home Units: Up to $500,000. The coveted award celebrates excellence in construction, innovation and quality as judged by Bronxx’s industry peers.
“On behalf of Bronxx, I’d like to thank the MBA team for hosting a fantastic award’s night,” says Bronxx’s Director, Ciaran Goodman. “We’re extremely proud of Acqua and honoured to be recognised by our industry.
“Our vision for Acqua was of a haven that reflects a contemporary-coastal aesthetic while harnessing the natural beauty of the surrounding environment. We sought to add value to Cronulla by ensuring the streetscape and architecture worked in visual harmony while providing every resident with a stunning quality of life. The award is a testament to our hard-working team who completed this iconic development without compromise during the height of the COVID pandemic.“
The 2022 MBA Excellence in Housing Award follows Acqua Cronulla’s success in the 2022 Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) Awards which saw the development win Kitchen of the Year Up to $25,000 and scoop finalist nominations in two other categories: Apartment Complex of The Year (Up to 20 Apartments) and Apartment of the Year.
About Acqua Cronulla
Successfully sold out before its September 2021 completion, Acqua is a boutique collection of seventeen one, two and three-bedroom penthouse-style residences, priced from $800,000 to $3.5million. Located 100 metres from Cronulla Beach, Acqua’s idyllic sanctuary echoes its seaside surroundings with a curvaceous wave-like architectural silhouette that adds value to the streetscape.
An innovative render process and the decision to hide façade pipes create Acqua’s uninterrupted flow, while deep consideration for marine-grade finishes ensures low maintenance and longevity. Construction navigated sand, drainage and fire safety challenges on a flat, small site that required a significant stormwater upgrade, including a SPEL filtration system.
“Acqua offers residents alfresco living at its finest,” continues Goodman. “Our placemakers designed the building with every resident’s journey in mind, from the luxurious landscaping and unexpectedly beautiful basement to the exquisite hotel-style entry and foyer. The interiors of each penthouse-style residence showcase meticulous attention to detail. Where possible, we used Australian-made products to support Australian businesses and craftsmen.”
Bronxx’s Omnia Cronulla development also received a finalist nomination in the 2022 HIA Awards: New Kitchen Up to $25,000.
Omnia is a boutique collection of nine exclusive three-bedroom coastal sanctuaries that capture and reflect the harmony of their exquisite South Cronulla location. The Omnia development was previously named a finalist in the 2021 HIA-CSR NSW Region Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards: 2021 Apartment of the Year and 2021 Apartment Complex of the Year.
