Peter Stutchbury Architecture was the recipient of the Robin Boyd Residential Architecture Award in 2021.

Boren, who relies on a wheelchair to get around, looks up at the stars through an oval skylight in the parabolic vaulted ceiling.

Project designer Fernanda Cabral and architect Mark Tan researched the location on Jubilee Ave in Blackheath to give Boren a view of his favorite constellations in the Milky Way, including Pavo.

The Blue Mountain home took three years to build and was constructed from recycled brick.

It features underground water storage tanks and a solar panel roof and is not dependent on the electric grid.

"The Robin Boyd Award is the latest winner of the highest residential award in Australian architecture.

Set to be completed in 2020, "Night Sky" is designed to allow people to look up at the stars. Its main architectural feature is the parabolic vaulted ceiling, a self-supporting structure made from recycled bricks with a 3.5 meter by 2.5 meter elliptical unglazed skylight that retracts to look out at the stars.

"The house is future-proofed and designed to last over 120 years, producing all its own electricity and harvesting all its own water. The house also references the past, with the space feeling both ancient and modern."

According to PropTrack, the median house price in the Blackheath suburb of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales is $857,500, down 1.7% in the last 12 months.
