Iconic and Innovative – SAHMRI stitches up the competition at SA Architecture Awards

Every now and again a single building is the stimulus for a city’s evolution. The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute’s (SAHMRI) is one such building and its reputation as Adelaide’s international icon has been cemented tonight at the 2014 SA Architecture Awards.

Woods Bagot received the Keith Neighbour Award for Commercial Architecture, Robert Dickson Award for Interior Architecture, Jack McConnell Award for Public Architecture, Derrick Kendrick Award for Sustainable Architecture and the COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture for the ‘joyful landmark that contributes so strongly to Adelaide’s skyline’ at the prestigious ceremony on Friday night held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

‘The project operates as a catalyst on multiple levels – a catalyst for the urban regeneration of the precinct; a catalyst and new exemplar for the city; and a catalyst for the state, evidencing step change in attitudes to both design and research,’ the jury exclaimed.

Troppo Architects’ Café Troppo was honoured with the City of Adelaide Prize which recognises innovation and excellence in enhancing the public realm of the city.

‘Café Troppo demonstrates the importance of shared public spaces and ground level activity in our inner metropolitan areas, bringing vitality and humanity to our growing neigbourhoods. The social conscience and generosity of spirit underpinning Café Troppo combined with its urban contribution, made the jury’s decision to award it the 2014 City of Adelaide prize, a unanimous one.’

A beach retreat that boasts ‘a series of humble yet thoughtfully crafted and well planned spaces,’ won the John S Chappel Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New). The jury noted that Grieve Gillett’s Goolwa Beach House is ‘a truly passionate testament to a design ethos that pulls no punches, marrying function and form to produce a bold and somewhat monumental punctuation in its coastal setting’.

The inaugural SA Chapter Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions) was presented to Architects Ink for their ‘beautifully crafted contemporary pavilion addition,’ Residence R, which ‘sets itself apart as a truly timeless addition to Adelaide’s architectural landscape’.

Other awards on the night celebrated Enduring Architecture, Heritage Architecture, Small Project Architecture and Urban Design in addition to individual honours, the Sir James Irwin President’s Prize and the Emerging Architect Prize (see list below for all winners).

Projects that received a Named Award or an Architecture Award now progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.

Weekend of architectural celebration kicks off with NT Architecture Awards

The year of Troppo Architects has continued. Following Adrian Welke and Phil Harris’ Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal win earlier in the year, the firm was a big winner at the 2014 NT Architecture Awards announced on Friday night ahead of the pair’s Gold Medal Talk on Saturday at Charles Darwin University.

Taking home four awards including the Territory’s top honour, the Tracy Memorial Award, Troppo Architects were successful in COLORBOND®, Enduring and Residential categories for two projects.

Strohmayr House was presented with an Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions). The project also received the Tracy Memorial Award, the jury pointing to Troppo’s ‘clever management of new and old and the variety of spatial events is reflective of use and location’.

Troppo’s eight nominated residences known as Troppoville received the COLORBOND® Award for Steel Architecture for its ‘early examples of innovative and recycled steel use’ along with the Enduring Architecture Award which the jury noted was ‘not for a single piece of mastery – it is for the bravery, talent and exploration that began a trend in our architectural history.’

Mode Design won the George Chaloupka Award for Interior Architecture for their Innovative Media Production Studio Fitout which the jury ‘couldn’t help but be impressed with upon entering this delightful and fresh fit out within Charles Darwin University’.

An Award for Small Project Architecture went to Neeson Murcutt Architects for the Larapinta Campsites which, ‘provide the ideal solution to shelter and comfort for visiting trekkers and would surely enhance visitor experience,’ the jury said.

Desert House by Dunn & Hillam Architects took home an Award for Sustainable Architecture for its ‘genuine sensibility to environmental management in this specific climate’, in addition to a Commendation for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).

The Wirliyatjarrayi Adult Learning and Early Childhood Centre by Susan Dugdale and Associates ‘represents an important step forward for this small community and will serve the community well – strong practical and flexible,’ and was honoured with the Indigenous Community Award – Commendation.

Commendations were also given in Commercial, Public, Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing and Urban Design categories (see full list of winning projects below).

Contributing to communities – 2014 Tasmanian Architecture Awards

The 2014 Tasmanian Architecture Awards, announced tonight at MONA, have celebrated the contribution of architecture to the state’s communities from the small scale through to major urban improvements.

A highly valued contribution to Hobart’s public realm, UTAS Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies (IMAS) by John Wardle Architects + Terroir, in association, was the big winner on the night, taking home two Named Awards and three Architecture Awards across Public, Interior, Sustainable, COLORBOND® and Urban Design categories.

‘IMAS is an exemplar of careful and skilful placemaking through respect for the setting and history of a place and an across the board win for Hobart,’ the jury said.

‘Locating IMAS in Sullivans Cove resonates powerfully with the city’s historic Antarctic connections, while its detail thoughtfully evokes the patterning of the Antarctic wilderness.’

The Peter Willmott Award for Small Project Architecture was presented to Birrelli Art + Design + Architecture for their pro bono work creating an elegant timber building to house the Bicheno Surf Life Saving Club.

‘It could have been a tin shed but thanks to a brave community and a talented architectural team, it is much more. The new surf club was brought about by a need for storage near the foreshore. The architect saw a bigger opportunity to enhance the coastal environment and generate community pride, as well as meeting the functional requirements of the club.

‘The jury congratulates the architects and celebrates this reminder that the smallest project with the most meagre budget has the potential to be an architectural masterpiece.’

Following on from a successful Stage 01, which received an Award for Urban Design at both the Tasmanian and National Architecture Awards in 2013, GASP! Stage 02 by Room 11 was lauded by the jury as a focal point around which to build community pride and collective memory, receiving the Dirk Bolt Award for Urban Design.

The jury awarded the top Residential – Houses (New) honour to Launceston-based Philip M Dingemanse for his own home, Southern Outlet House.

‘This house is rich in exploration – from its minimal footprint and budget to its engagement with its immediate surroundings and the nearby highway. It deserves high recognition by virtue of its character: playful and confident, modest in size, yet bold in expression,’ the jury observed.

Projects that received a Named Award or an Architecture Award now progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.

Honouring excellence – 2014 Queensland Architecture Awards

Architects from all over the state have come together in celebration of excellence in good design at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2014 Queensland Architecture Awards announced tonight at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

‘Thoroughly considered and exquisitely detailed’, the University of Queensland’s Advanced Engineering Building (AEB) by Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL was the big winner of the night, taking home three Named Awards.

Awarding the project the FDG Stanley Award for Public Architecture, the GHM Addison Award for Interior Architecture and the Harry Marks Award for Sustainable Architecture, the jury described the collaborative effort as a ‘significant benchmark in sustainability’.

‘The project provides teaching, research and laboratory facilities either side of a five-storey timber clad, elongated central atrium with a double glazed roof. AEB expertly embraces setting and place and has created an exemplar of engagement with renewable resources and local industry,’ added the jury.

Charles Wright’s ‘extraordinary response to a very personal and adventurous brief’ in the Daintree, Stamp House, was well received by the jury and won the Robin Dods Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New), the top residential award for the night.

‘The concrete fabric chosen for permanence, robustness and thermal mass is placed on a man-made lake and shaped and patterned around its quirky personal spaces to somehow make its other worldly presence take its place in the world’s oldest and most pristine landscape,’ the jury reflected.

Following on from the six Regional Architecture Awards, the state competition resulted in projects across all regions being honoured with the jury presenting 10 Named Awards, 13 Architecture Awards and 13 Commendations in addition to the Queensland Chapter’s Art in Architecture Prize (see below for full list of winners).

Celebration of old and new at ACT Architecture Awards

From a record 51 entries, the jury awarded 35 Awards and Commendations at the 2014 ACT Architecture Awards on Saturday 14 June at the recently refurbished REX Hotel.

For the second year in a row, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer’s (TZG) National Arboretum has been honoured at the ACT Awards. Following on from the 2013 Romaldo Giurgola Award for Public Architecture for the Village Centre, TZG along with Taylor Cullity Lethlean have taken out the 2014 Sir John Overall Award for Urban Design and the chapter’s highest accolade, the Canberra Medallion.

‘The National Arboretum has transformed a devastated site into a major education, research and recreation venue for the National Capital. The seamlessly collaborative architecture and landscape teams have established a significant green heart for Canberra.

‘An important local initiative with national and international benefits already evident, it is a most worthy recipient of the 2014 Canberra Medallion,’ the jury said.

Apostolic Nunciature 1976–1977 by past Gold Medallist Enrico Taglietti received the Award for Enduring Architecture. Built to accommodate diplomatic representatives of the Holy See, the Apostolic Nunciature received several RAIA (ACT) merit awards soon after its completion and Mr Taglietti was awarded a Papal Knighthood of St Gregory the Great in recognition of his design.

‘The 2014 Award for Enduring Architecture acknowledges the way the building has served its purpose well and has been cared for in a loving manner. The architect deserves credit for the strength and appropriateness of his high quality original design,’ the jury noted.

Other notable winners on the night include Australian National University Australian Centre on China in the World by Munns Sly Moore in association with Mo Atelier Szeto which took home the Romaldo Giurgola Award for Public Architecture, Art in Architecture Prize and an INLITE Light in Architecture Prize – Commendation. Hotel Hotel by March Studio also received multiple recognitions with the W Hayward Morris Award for Interior Architecture and an Art in Architecture Prize.

The top residential prize, the Malcolm Moir and Heather Sutherland Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New), was presented to Rodney Moss in association with Ken Murtagh and Pip Smith for The Mook.

‘The Mook is highly detailed and beautifully crafted and a successful essay in the provision of flexible housing choice that has been delivered in a delightful and bespoke pavilion,’ reflected the jury.

Projects that received a Named Award or an Architecture Award now progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.

It’s all in the detail – Brisbane Regional Architecture Awards announced

Thirty projects from across Brisbane were honoured at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2014 Brisbane Regional Architecture Awards announced tonight at special ceremony held at the Edmund Rice Performing Arts Centre.

Queensland 2014 State Awards Jury Director, Liam Proberts, presented 30 Regional Commendations to projects spanning a range of sizes and purposes, which now progress to the Queensland State Architecture Awards, announced in Brisbane on 20 June

The winners of the John Dalton Award for Building of the Year, House of the Year and an Enduring Architecture Prize were also announced.

The John Dalton Award for Building of the Year went to UQ Advanced Engineering Building by Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL (Joint Venture) in addition to receiving two Regional Commendations for Public Architecture and Interior Architecture.

‘The UQ Advanced Engineering Building (AEB), a collaboration of Richard Kirk Architect and HASSELL exquisitely embodies a significant benchmark in sustainability within a complex building program of research, teaching and learning. AEB expertly embraces setting and place and has created an exemplar of engagement with renewable resources and local industry.

‘The project provides teaching, research and laboratory facilities either side of a five storey timber clad, elongated central atrium with a double glazed roof. The axis terminates in an expressive timber trussed off-form concrete lecture theatre with the lake setting as backdrop. Thoroughly considered and exquisitely detailed,’ the jury said.

Highgate Hill House by Twofold Studio and Cox Rayner Architects was awarded the Brisbane House of the Year.

‘A sublime piece of architecture, expressed through intricate detailing that is seamlessly engaged with an ironically humble brief. A visceral experience of occupation is manifest through a series of spatially modest but poetically executed rooms. A bespoke, controlled garden and a sequence of outdoor living zones complete the project,’ reported the jury.

The jury nominated and awarded a special Enduring Architecture Prize to AH Job and RP Froud for their 1960 project Torbreck, Queensland’s first multi-storey home unit development.
