The Australian Institute of Architects is looking forward to the upcoming release of the Victorian apartment design guidelines and fully supports the introduction of minimum standards in the interest of public amenity.
Professor Ken Maher, spokesperson and National President of the Institute congratulates the Minister for Planning, the Hon Richard Wynne on this initiative.
‘The Institute has a long standing position of supporting the implementation of apartment design guidelines and similar planning legislation in all jurisdictions. The guidelines will enable Melbourne to continue to be one of the world’s most liveable cities,’ Prof Maher said.
The Institute believes that Victoria should not only have design guidelines, but should also introduce design review panels to consider proposals that don’t adhere to the guidelines including smaller apartments. Small apartments need high levels of amenity and high quality design to avoid contributing to sub-standard housing stock. If Victorians are to experience a quality built environment there must also be ongoing checking to ensure the approved design intent is being maintained through project procurement and construction. There must also be a requirement to use registered architects to design multi-storey apartment buildings as is the case in NSW to ensure quality and provide consumer protection.
This approach is not novel according to Prof Maher. ‘NSW has had something similar for 10 years, and the recent review of the NSW system confirmed that the legislative package has resulted in improved living standards in NSW. It has received broad support from the industry and local authorities.’
The Institute welcomes the opportunity to further consider the metrics to ensure appropriate minimum standards while maintaining flexibility for design innovation, and to ensure the controls can work in practice, possibly through design testing on selected sites.
‘We look forward to working closely with the OVGA, the Department of Planning and key industry and community stakeholders to develop and deliver a sound policy and regulatory framework that provides performance based design quality guidelines.
‘We see this current initiative in Victoria as the beginning of a new framework aimed at encouraging innovative design solutions that lead to improved affordability, housing diversity, and improved living standards – now and into the future,’ Prof Maher said.
It was New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia’s turn to celebrate projects at their respective chapter award presentations. Another round of congratulations to all involved, make sure to check out the full list of winners.
The winners of the 2016 NSW Architecture Awards were announced in Sydney.

Both the City of Perth Library and Public Plaza and the State Buildings have been recognised with the highest overall honour, the George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 WA Architecture Awards.
Honouring excellence in the design and construction industry, the Awards were held on Friday, July 1 at Crown Perth’s Grand Ballroom.
Presented each year to the project judged worthiest of all award winners in each category, this is the first time in the history of the WA Architecture Awards that there has been two prestigious George Temple Poole Awards.
Both the State Buildings and the City of Perth Library and Public Plaza were designed by Kerry Hill Architects, with Palassis Architects as heritage architects on the State Buildings. Together, the two projects all but complete Perth’s most important civic space, Cathedral Square. Faced with the dilemma of experiencing two exceptional works, the jury felt it had no alternative but to give a joint award.
‘Whilst both projects are very different in their own separate ways, they are both innovative, highly rigorous and incredibly strong in their design approach. They deliver jointly and individually an incredibly rare and high order of public realm and civic amenity, which will be enjoyed by people of all ages for a very long time,’ the jury said.
In addition to the George Temple Poole Award, the City of Perth Library and Public Plaza also won the The Jeffrey Howlett Award for Public Architecture and a Commendation in the Interior Architecture category, whilst the State Buildings took out The Margaret Pitt Morison Award for Heritage and the Colorbond® Award for Steel Architecture.
Now in its second year, the Enduring Architecture Award went to the iconic Perth Concert Hall by Howlett and Bailey Architects. Recognising projects that have withstood the test of time and remain important in a contemporary context, the award was this year renamed to recognise the work of long-serving public works architect, Richard Roach Jewell.
‘The great-great-grandfather of Perth businesswomen and philanthropist Janet Holmes à Court, Jewell was responsible for many prominent buildings that were built in the mid-19th century, including The Deanery, the original Perth Railway Station and the east and west wings of the State Buildings. I think it is certainly very fitting to dedicate the Enduring Architecture Award to Jewell’s important work, much of which still stands today,’ said Philip Griffiths, WA President, Australian Institute of Architects.
All Western Australian Named and Architecture Award winners will progress to the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards to be judged against the very best architectural works in the country.

The diversity of projects being undertaken by architects in South Australia, who are responding to the challenges of today and needs of tomorrow, will be honoured at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 SA Architecture Awards held on Saturday 2 July at the 2015 architecture award-winning Adelaide Oval.
Four projects from the Tonsley redevelopment have collected seven Awards across education, heritage, commercial, sustainability and urban design, cementing the project as a ‘unique place with a strong identity for South Australia to celebrate its manufacturing history’. See below for full list of award winners.
The role of architects Woods Bagot and Tridente in deciding to retain the Main Assembly Building (MAB) structure and surrounding building pods along with vibrant urban spaces designed by Oxigen, ‘is testament to both the vision of the client, the skills and collaboration of the designers and the urban design guidelines developed for the site,’ the jury said.

South Australia’s Drill Core Reference Library by Thomson Rossi provides an important gateway to the huge 61-hectare Tonsley site, which is currently transforming into an education, research and business hub. HASSELL’s Flinders University building further defines the former MAB along with the TAFE campus to the south.
Public architecture was dominated by projects that provide significant social and cultural benefits to our communities with the integration of public spaces becoming integral to the design process. The coveted Jack McConnell Award for Public Architecture, is awarded to the Stretton Centre by HASSELL, which the jury praised as ‘an architecturally accomplished focal point for the wider northern suburbs community’.
Continuing the accolades for projects in the public realm, commendations were awarded to Henley Square Remade by TCL with Troppo Architects, Glenunga Community Hub by Greenway Architects and the Zoos SA Nature’s Play Ground by Phillips/Pilkington Architects and WAX Design, which also won the community’s vote for the City of Adelaide Prize People’s Choice Award.
The new technology incubator, Base 64 in Kent Town was designed by Williams Burton Leopardi within a heritage building, and has been honoured with both the Keith Neighbour Award for Commercial Architecture and David Saunders Award for Heritage.
‘Base 64 has a unique quality that is difficult to define — part co-working, domestic, gallery, retreat and public space. It provides clues as to how contemporary workplaces might evolve to be more collaborative, networked, and personal,’ the jury said.

The latest in residential design incorporates clean, modern design, ample natural light, access to outdoor spaces and solid environmental approaches, with five accolades given in the New Houses category.
Veil and Mortar by Khab Architects, ‘a playful and dramatic addition to a symmetrical cottage’, was awarded the top honour for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions), the John Schenk Award. The Jury was impressed with all entries in the category this year, showcasing the value architects bring when responding to the needs of their client in adapting an existing home.
The Small Project category celebrates areas of design that may be traditionally overlooked, pavilions and shelters, to public toilets. A 10sqm home study addition by Grieve Gillett Anderson received the top Marjorie Simpson Award for Small Project Architecture by the jury, who said the project ‘embodies a real joy in architectural outcomes and contributes to a broader approach to residential design’.
As the profession currently speculates the future of architecture. The Jack Cheesman Award for Enduring Architecture recognises a significant building over 25 years. This year the South Australian Forensic Science Centre by the SA Public Buildings Department, has been honoured as a distinguished example of late Australian brutalism.

The winners of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 NSW Architecture Awards were announced in Sydney tonight.
The state’s longest standing honour, the Sulman Medal which was introduced in 1932, is given to a public building of exceptional merit and in 2016 it has been awarded to the ‘quintessentially Australian’ Kempsey Crescent Head Surf Life Saving Club by Neeson Murcutt Architects.
‘This project is completely engaged with the environment and the culture of coastal NSW. The execution and detailing is beautifully refined and resolved, but still tough and robust to suit the extreme, corrosive environment and the demands of a “club” client,’ the jury noted.

Major inner-city works balancing the demands of commercial, public and urban interests were lauded by the jury for their contributions to the city landscape.
5 Martin Place by JPW & TKD architects in collaboration, a winner in the Commercial, Heritage and Urban Design categories, is a ‘masterful example of strategic, design-led planning’.
‘The built project not only executes the intent of the strategic planning piece as a powerful and deliberate architectural work, it also breathes new life into Martin Place, Pitt Street and perhaps most surprisingly, the previously uninhabited service laneway network,’ the jury said.
Liberty Place by francis-jones morehen thorp received honours for Commercial, Sustainable and Urban Design along with the City of Sydney Lord Mayor’s Prize for the creation of a new public space for the city and a revitalised precinct for workers and visitors between ANZ Tower and Legion House.
‘The heritage listed Legion House has been refurbished as a fully zero carbon building, an Australian first for a refurbished building, creating its own renewable electricity generation,’ Lord Mayor Clover Moore noted in awarding the prize.
An extraordinary house that adds to the reinvention of Chippendale as one of Sydney’s artistic and cultural hubs through an ‘extravagant sculptural exercise’, has been awarded the Wilkinson Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).
Built for an art collector, the true mastery of Indigo Slam by Smart Design Studio lies within, through the internal manipulation of light, scale and materials in a ‘deft choreography that creates an experience of calmness and serenity, an almost monastic quality’, the jury said.
NSW President, Shaun Carter congratulated all the winners.
‘The winning work from this year’s Awards showcases the exemplary skill and creativity of architects who make extraordinary architecture and public spaces that are the cornerstone of great city and place making.
‘Creativity and design thinking should be a bedrock of any process that is involved in planning the built environment. Whether they be buildings, streets, footpaths, public domain, transport or infrastructure projects there is significantly better value to be gained with architects at the table.
‘I encourage everyone everywhere, but particularly business and governments at all levels – local, state and federal – to make better use of our skills,’ Mr Carter said.
Sixty projects from across the state were acknowledged from a shortlist of 79 and a total entry pool of 179.
Projects that received a Named Award or Award are now in the running for the National Architecture Awards, to be announced in November.

Tourism projects and community buildings were big winners at the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 Tasmanian Architecture Awards announced in Hobart tonight. This year’s awards demonstrate the important role that architecture plays in Tasmania’s booming tourism economy. Tourism-focused projects to win awards include Cumulus Studio’s striking Devil’s Corner cellar door and lookout at Bicheno; JAWS Architects’ Three Capes Track Cabins, which provide stunning views from their sensitive positioning atop the sea cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula; and Birrelli Art + Architecture + Design’s clever insertion of accommodation pods in the grounds of the heritage-listed Hatherley House in Launceston.

The President of the Tasmanian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects Brad Wheeler says this year’s entries also demonstrate the value architecture can bring to the community. ‘Tasmanian architects have a fantastic record designing award-winning buildings and spaces that benefit our island state’s communities, and this year is no exception. From student accommodation and facilities to sports pavilions and tourist attractions, architects have again helped to provide buildings and places that enrich all our lives and provide economic benefits for our state,’ said Mr Wheeler.
Winners in the community, public and education categories of the awards include Dock 4 Architects’ Clarence High School Sports Pavilion, Edwards + Simpson’s new community stadium in St Helens, and several University of Tasmania projects.
The residential architecture categories were again hotly contested. Archier won the pinnacle Esmond Dorney Award for residential architecture as well as the main prize for sustainability for their clever Five Yards House. Rosevear Stephenson also won two awards for their sensitive work transforming a Battery Point Georgian into a contemporary home. Stuart Tanner’s Dunalley House – a new build since the devastating 2013 fires – was recognised for its robust yet minimal design, and also took out the People’s Choice Prize.
The Hobart College at Mt Nelson won the Enduring Architecture Award for buildings over 25 years old, and Circa Morris-Nunn’s Mountain Retreat Medical Centre in South Hobart was awarded the prestigious John Lee Archer Triennial Prize for the best example of public and commercial architecture of the last three years.
There are three tiers in the awards hierarchy: a commendation, an award, and a pinnacle named award.

Winners of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 ACT Architecture Awards were announced at the National Arboretum on Saturday 25 June.
The night’s top honour, the Canberra Medallion, was awarded to the Bowen Place Crossing by Lahznimmo Architects in addition to the Sir John Overall Award for Urban Design.
In awarding the project, the jury noted ‘the project is an exemplar of a thoughtfully instigated competition procurement process. Led by the National Capital Authority (NCA) it sought a design led outcome befitting the contextual significance of the siting.
‘The foresight to imagine the scope and possibility for an urban landscape element of poetic scale and enduring contribution, adjoining Lake Burley Griffin in the Central National Area, is the key to the success of the intervention.’

Canberra’s new Airport Hotel by Bates Smart collected several accolades including an Award for Commercial Architecture, Award for Interior Architecture and the Light in Architecture Prize.
King House, ‘an exceptionally clever house that maximises amenity and functionality on a tight site with a tight budget,’ by Cox Architecture won the Malcolm Moir and Heather Sutherland Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).
‘There is much to applaud on this project. It demonstrates how, with good design, one can build a highly liveable house filled with light, joy and outlook within a compact footprint,’ the jury said.
ACT Chapter President, Rob Henry, congratulated all winners and entrants.
‘ACT architecture has seen a revival in the past few years with some world-class projects coming to fruition, it is an exciting time to see the role the profession can play in making Canberra’s spaces better for locals and visitors alike.’
Forty-six projects were entered in the 2016 ACT Architecture Awards, which were established in 1961.
Projects that received Awards and Named Awards now progress to the National Architecture Awards which will be announced in November.

The Victorian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects is pleased to announce the winners of the 2016 Victorian Architecture Awards, announced Friday 24 June.
Named Awards, Awards and Commendations were presented across 12 categories representing Victoria’s exemplary architecture.
Juries noted that a focus on community was evident in all categories, cleverly showcasing architecture’s ability to contribute to the public realm in a variety of positive and innovative ways. Vanessa Bird, Victorian Chapter President stated that it is ‘particularly heartening to see architects demonstrating a thinking beyond a specific site to produce benefits for the wider community.’
Of the 197 entries, approximately 30 percent were judged to be worthy of an Award or Commendation. Independent juries handed out a total of 29 Awards and 17 Commendations in addition to the Regional Prize, Melbourne Prize, and the coveted Victorian Architecture Medal. 2016 Institute Gold Medallists, ARM Architecture, were awarded their unprecedented sixth Victorian Medal for the Geelong Library & Heritage Centre, which also took home the Regional Prize and both the Interior Architecture and Public Architecture Named Awards.
Hamish Lyon, Chair of Juries described it as ’an exemplar public project and a significant new landmark for the City of Geelong. A striking piece of architecture and major community hub, it has elevated the role of public architecture for both Geelong and the wider regional community.’

The theme of community was also evident in the Residential Architecture categories. Mel Bright, Residential Architecture Houses – New Jury Chair was ‘encouraged that architects are pushing their clients to understand that their private house is more than just real estate and quantity of bedrooms. There is a role to play in the greater context and that, even at the scale of a private home, there is opportunity for the project to make a positive contribution to its place and to local communities.’
The 2016 Enduring Architecture Award was awarded to Heide II, originally designed by the late Neil Everist and David McGlashan of McGlashan Everist in 1963. The clients
desired a ‘gallery to be lived in’, intending for the house to one day be transformed into a public art gallery. This vision is now a reality with the creation of the major cultural institution – Heide Museum of Modern Art. The extended museum facilities, garden walks and sculpture-park now offer a genuine community place in the midst of Melbourne’s growing suburban landscape.
The following is a full list of 2016 Victorian Architecture Award winners. Named Award and Architecture Award winners go on to compete in the National Architecture Awards, announced in November.

The winners of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 NT Architecture Awards were announced in Darwin on Friday 24 June.
Community engagement was a strong theme across the winning projects particularly the overall winner of the night, Anbinik Kakadu Resort by Troppo Architects which received the Tracy Memorial Award and the Peter Dermoudy Award for Commercial Architecture.
Djabulukgu Association owns and manages the resort, which provides sustainable employment opportunities for the local Indigenous development team, and have worked with Troppo Architects since they purchased the site in 1996. Built on a shoestring and incorporating recycled and scavenged materials, this project forms stage two of the resort’s expansion, providing a more distinctive visitor experience for tourists and a strong return on investment to support the owners ongoing community development initiatives.

The Michael Long Learning & Leadership Centre by Hames Sharley, another example of a project focused on community benefit, received the Indigenous Community Award and an Award for Educational Architecture.
‘Michael Long’s vision to use the power of AFL to provide young Indigenous Territorians the same opportunities as their non-Indigenous peers has certainly been realised in the Michael Long Learning and Leadership Centre, with the architect taking the concept “to educate and elevate students to positive pathways in life” to drive the form and interior of the design,’ the jury noted.
The iconic 1984 Raffles Plaza by Graeme Whitford for KROMA was recognised with the Enduring Architecture Award, as a trailblazing multi-residential development in the Territory.
‘With the plethora of apartment buildings recently completed or underway in Darwin, it’s easy to take for granted the notion of high density living within the city. In fact the early prototypes for this way of living were trailblazers – the opposite of the ubiquitous “product” now feeding the market,’ the jury said.
NT Chapter President, Andrew Broffman, congratulated the award winners and entrants on their commitment to design quality, while urging the broader industry to invest more in the areas of multi-residential housing and remote Indigenous communities.
‘Architecture at its best depends upon well considered briefs, open conversations with clients and occupants, and the time necessary to achieve quality design. This year’s entrants have demonstrated the possibilities of good architecture, with exemplary work in the commercial sector, in research and education, in sport and recreation, and in community development and residential renovations.
‘A number of this year’s winners have proved the importance of community engagement, but more needs to be done to widen the reach of quality design in Indigenous communities and in inner-city multi-residential areas. The enduring architecture award to the Raffles Plaza illustrates the timeless nature of quality design. Indeed all of our work should be worthy of enduring recognition in generations to come.’

The winners of the Australian Institute of Architect’s Queensland State Architecture Awards have been announced at a special ceremony on Friday 24 June.
Following an extensive Regional Architecture Awards program, 83 projects were vying for state honours. On the night, 48 projects shared 58 accolades – Named Awards, Awards and Commendations – with a number of projects receiving multiple mentions.
Queensland’s global reputation as a research and innovation hub was evident with key university projects taking home top honours across a range of categories.
University of Queensland Oral Health Centre by Cox Rayner Architects with Hames Sharley and Conrad Gargett Riddel was a big winner on the night receiving the F D G Stanley Award for Public Architecture, an Award for Interior Architecture and an Award for Sustainable Architecture.
The advanced oral health and allied research and teaching facility is also Australia’s largest public dentist and was praised by the jury for ‘establishing a unique benchmark’ in providing collaborative student spaces together with a public interface.

A duplex created from a culturally significant, architectural ruin of four flats in Highgate Hill won the Job & Froud Award for Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing. Brighton Twin Set by Push is a respectful example of the rejuvenation of an interwar housing typology for modern use, with a flexible plan creating further opportunities for a variety of household and home work arrangements.
Queensland Chapter President, Bruce Wolfe congratulated winners and entrants for continuing to push boundaries and championing quality design in all areas of architectural practice.
‘It is inspiring to see such a range of incredible designs and project typologies happening all over the state and particularly heartening to see such strong sustainable elements at the core of many projects, evident in the awarding and commending of more projects for Sustainable Architecture than in any other category.’
Projects that received a Named Award or Award are now in the running for the National Architecture Awards to be announced in November.
