A Western Australian multi-residential project by Luigi Rosselli which features the longest rammed earth wall in Australia now also lays claim to be the world’s most popular housing project for 2016.

Luigi Rosselli’s ‘The Great Wall of WA’, also known as the The Musterer's Quarters’, took out the Housing Category in Arch Daily’s 2016 Building of the Year Awards, the world’s largest annual peer-based, crowdsourced architecture awards program that claims to have polled 55,000 voters this year.

The win places the Australian architecture firm in good company as the list of category winners from the awards includes a whole host of internationally renowned architects most notably Pritzker Prize winners, Renzo Piano and Herzog & de Meuron.
