A \u2018much loved community facility\u2019 and a home nestled deep in the Daintree are among winners in the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 2017 Queensland State Architecture Awards announced in Brisbane on Friday 23 June.<\/p>\n
The Sunshine Coast University Hospital, by Architectus Brisbane and HDR Rice Daubney as Sunshine Coast Architects, was lauded by the jury as \u2018an intelligent and elegant public building that strives for local use and social engagement through the clearly defined provision of green corridors, public outdoor spaces and community infrastructure\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018Consequentially achieving one of Australia\u2019s largest constructions on a green-field site crafted into the surrounding coastal landscape genuinely belonging to its place and community,\u2019 the project received the F D G Stanley Award for Public Architecture and the Karl Langer Award for Urban Design.<\/p>\n
At the other end of the scale, a small off-the-grid home resembling a makeshift campsite won the Robin Dods Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New). Cape Tribulation House, by m3architecture, is sited in natural clearings within the World Heritage Daintree setting and recedes carefully into the shadows of the rainforest canopy camouflaged with black cladding and mirrored glass.<\/p>\n
\u2018The social heart is a breezeway deck with pavilions offering contemplation and comfort. A disciplined and deep respect for the rainforest drives the holistic approach from siting to occupation,\u2019 the jury noted.<\/p>\n
BVN\u2019s \u2018unconventional\u2019 office tower at 480 Queen Street project took home the Beatrice Hutton Award for Commercial Architecture. The jury praised the project for its \u2018extensive and generous public realm [that] offers the community and tenants memorable experiences guided by themes including linkages with nearby St John\u2019s Cathedral and topographic metaphors referencing the site\u2019s historic condition\u2019.<\/p>\n
Workspaces were well represented among overall category winners including Studio for Indigo Jungle by Marc&Co which received the Hayes and Scott Award for Small Project Architect and BHP Billiton Workplace by BVN which won the G H M Addison Award for Interior Architecture.<\/p>\n
Winners were selected by the State Jury from a field of 82 entries that received Regional Commendations at their respective Regional Architecture Awards ceremonies earlier in the year. Named Award and Award winners will now progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in Canberra on Thursday 2 November.<\/p>\n
