BURBANK has added yet another honour to its repertoire by taking out the ‘Best Integrated Housing Development Award’ for its Denton Mills project at the Master Builders Association of Victoria’s awards held at the Grand Hyatt, Melbourne.

The former Denton Hat Mills factory, the heritage-listed Denton Mills development – spanning 95 metres along Nicholson Street, Abbotsford – is now a lively, mixed-use precinct that has transformed the once derelict site into a vibrant mix of residences, offices, and a café.

“Burbank engaged Peddle Thorp architects to design a unique mixed-use development in harmony with original architect William Pitt’s design of circa 1890,” said Burbank Managing Director Jarrod Sanfilippo.

“Heritage features of the original steam powered hat factory, such as the façade and chimney, were restored.

“The 61 residences at Denton Mills’ comprise a mix of one, two and three bedroom apartments, lofts, and two-storey terrace style apartments, all surrounding a central courtyard.

“Six offices are also incorporated into the development, as well as a ground floor café, which has become a focal point for residents and workers in the area.

“An undercover carpark for 145 cars at the rear of the original building and 90 bicycle racks complete the development,” Mr Sanfilippo said. This award-winning $36 million development is yet another feather in Burbank’s cap, who, with more than two decades of experience under their belts and counting, continues to deliver innovative and quality products.

“Burbank is highly committed to surpassing expectations, and we are thrilled to receive this award for Denton Mills,” Mr Sanfilippo said.

Burbank also congratulates Peddle Thorp, winner of Master Builders’ Association 2010 Architects Award for their work on this exciting project.

santoro 2700

The first impression you get as you enter the Lukin 2800 is a feeling of light, space and air, created by its wide entry.

The four bedroom plus study home has catered for two independent living areas in its versatile floor plan. Dual access to the first minor bedroom allows extra security for younger children to be close to mum and dad while older siblings’ bedrooms are located at the rear of the home.

The standard alfresco lies at the centre of the home adjoining the formal living area, perfectly protected from the weather. The optional bifold doors allow you to completely open the living, family and meals areas resulting in a sensational open plan entertaining space.

The Lukin design is available in two sizes the 2500 and the 2800 displayed. Both are suited to a 16m wide block.

The wide entrance of the Santoro 2700 opens out to a huge family meals area, supervised by a superbly designed and presented kitchen. Storage space is essential in open plan areas and Burbank has ensured ample room for clutter free food preparation.

Breakaway space is another essential item on a growing family’s wishlist and the home’s media room caters for this well. The optional alfresco offers a further indoor/outdoor extension making home entertaining as pleasurable as a night out.

The sleeping wing is also well thought out with the positioning of entrances optimising privacy. The four bedrooms are split with one of the minor bedrooms easily accessible to the parental suite, perfect for the smallest of the brood.

The Santoro is also available in a 2300 version and both sizes fit on a 16m wide block.

The Lamont 2600 offers family-friendly elements in a slimline form. Breakaway space is addressed with two large living areas. Storage is a also feature, which is particularly vital in a smaller home design.

The kitchen is designed to optimise storage and includes a large walk-in-pantry.

Contrary to what is usually expected of a display home, the Lamont at Manor Lakes is presented with many standard specifications and inclusions, such as the floor tiles and laminates.

Both the Lamont 2600 and 2100 fit on a narrow 14m wide block.

Ingredients

• 750g desiree potatoes• 150g plain flour• 1 egg (lightly beaten)• 20 prawns• 170g butter• 1 bunch coriander• 2 green chillies (cut and de-seeded)

• 100g grated parmesan (extra to serve)• 50ml olive oil• 20g pine nuts• ¼ flat-leaf parsley• juice of half lemon• 2 garlic cloves• 1 punnet micro coriander leaves

MethodTo make chilli coriander, combine coriander, chillies, grated parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts, parsley, juice of lemon and garlic cloves in a blender, until smooth paste. Season with salt.

To make gnocchi, steam potatoes for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through. Peel when cool enough to handle. Put flour into large open bowl. Press the hot potato through a mouli into the flour. Add the egg and two and a half teaspoons of salt. Then quickly mix through with a pastry scraper and hand, until the dough comes together. Add more flour if too sticky. Dust the bench with flour, divide the dough mixture into four portions and roll into logs. Cut into 1.5cm lengths and set aside on tray and freeze until needed.

To assemble dish, bring a large pan of slated water to boil over high heat. Cook gnocchi until they float to the surface. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a non-stick frying pan, cook prawns and add in pesto as desired. Add gnocchi to the prawns toss and serve in pasta bowl. Garnish with micro herb and extra parmesan.

Serves 4.
