In the year that Lysaght celebrates a century as an Australian manufacturer, its annual Inspirations Design Awards have prominently featured its traditional yet timeless CUSTOM ORB® corrugated profile.

Following its successful introduction in 2018, the Lysaght Inspirations Design Awards return this year to celebrate outstanding Australian architectural work that incorporates LYSAGHT® steel building products.

As someone who relies on their vehicle for work, a carport was always on the cards for Latrobe Valley homeowner, Scott. A building industry professional, Scott identified with the classic appeal of this structure—an affordable shelter for his vehicles with a strength he could rely on. Working with his local LYSAGHT LIVING®, Darren Santon at Ultrabuild Latrobe Valley, Scott’s finished project perfectly represents the durability, classic style and contemporary versatility of steel carports today.

As a young builder working in his father’s business, Get Smart Constructions, Stuart Ponsford has helped build many homes for clients, but had minimal design experience, so experimenting on his own project – his first home – seemed a good place to start.

It’s not every day that an architectural firm is asked to design a performing arts centre.

The design of a distinct yet practical family home by mature-aged student Ethan McMartin from Skillstech TAFE, Queensland, has caught judges’ eyes in the recent Lysaght Inspirations Design Awards (LIDA), earning him a coveted commendation.
