Tourism and community projects win at 2016 Tasmanian Architecture Awards

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.

From homes to hotels – 2016 ACT Architecture Award winners

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.

2016 Victorian Architecture Awards Winners Announced

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.

Community engagement rewarded at 2016 NT Architecture Awards

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.’

Sustainability, innovation and rejuvenation celebrated at Queensland Architecture Awards

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.

The Australian Institute of Architects Art & Architecture Prize (Qld) – The Button Event by Kevin O’Brien Architects

International Chapter Architecture Awards – 2016 winners announced

Australian architects working on projects abroad have been celebrated at the Australian Institute of Architects’ International Chapter Architecture Awards.

National President Ken Maher announced the seven awards and one commendation at an event in London on Thursday 9 June, chosen from a field of 16 entries across five categories.

In announcing the winners, Maher noted the size, scale and location of the projects and congratulated Australian architects on their considerable contributions to projects beyond Australian shores.

‘Asia has been a significant growth area for Australian practices in recent years and it is exciting to see the variety of works emerging, including some of immense scale. This is a testament to the talent and creativity of Australian architects in an increasingly international and competitive design arena.’

Of particular note is the National Gallery Singapore by studioMilou Singapore with CPG Consultants, which is South East Asia’s largest modern art institution. The jury praised the ‘masterful interventions [which] allow the elegant and powerful original colonial spaces a new and sophisticated life whilst still preserving their historical character’.

Another winner was the Australian Pavilion in Venice by Denton Corker Marshall which debuted at last year’s Art Biennale and is host to Australia’s Exhibition, The Pool, at the 15th International Architecture Biennale on now until 27 November.

Projects that received an International Chapter Award will now vie for the Jørn Utzon Award for International Architecture at the National Architecture Awards announced in November.
