A striking crystalline building in an industrial area of Alice Springs has won the Northern Territory\u2019s top architecture honour for 2019 at the Australian Institute of Architects\u2019 NT Architecture Awards on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

In a transformation of the concept of a working shed, Susan Dugdale & Associates\u2019 MPH HQ used steel and Colorbond materials to craft a contemporary office form offering practical shading solutions for the difficult site.<\/p>\n

In its citation for the prestigious Tracy Memorial Award, the jury commended MPH HQ for its creativity.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve all seen the big shed, front office typology that proliferates at the verges of our cities,\u2019 the jury said. \u2018Rather than ordinary, though, MPH HQ is extraordinary.\u2019<\/p>\n

Alice Springs-based architects Susan Dugdale & Associates also won the Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture and the Peter Dermoudy Award for Commercial Architecture.<\/p>\n

More than 100 guests attended the NT Architecture Awards at The Old Quarry, at the foot of the East MacDonnell Ranges, 10km from Alice Springs, in the annual celebration of NT design.<\/p>\n

Full list of winners:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tracy Memorial Award, The Peter Dermoudy Award for Commercial Architecture and The Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture \u2013 MPH-HQ<\/strong> by Susan Dugdale & Associates<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve all seen the big shed, front office typology that proliferates at the verges of our cities,\u2019 the jury said. \u2018Rather than ordinary, though, MPH HQ is extraordinary.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

The J G Knight Award for Heritage – Hut 37<\/strong> by Ajar Architects<\/p>\n

\u2018The jury found that this was a particularly compelling project combining many important aspects of good architecture, culture and history which was preserved through passion and pure tenacity,\u2019 it said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Yali-McNamara Award for Small Project Architecture and The Indigenous Community Architecture Award \u2013 Fish River Accommodation<\/strong> by Design Construct, School of Art Architecture and Design, University of South Australia<\/p>\n

\u2018This impressive small project delivers on many fronts; excellent accommodation for the rangers; a potentially viable, sustainable tropical Aboriginal housing model; a good collaborative educational model; and the framework for a great future for Fish River Station and beyond,\u2019 said NT Jury Chair Elizabeth Watson Brown. <\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The NT Chapter Award for Educational Architecture and The Thorny Devil (Moloch Horridus) Award for Sustainable Architecture \u2013 Braitling Primary School (Stage 2)<\/strong> by Susan Dugdale & Associates.<\/p>\n

\u2018This exemplary project achieves important educational and social impact and is a testament that good design here has made a difference,\u2019 the jury said. \u2018Because of the design there has been a 67% reduction in behaviour referrals; in a cohort where 28% of kids have ongoing trauma, the outdoor relief space has reduced issues in the classroom; and attendance has risen 76% to 85.9%.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n

NT Chapter Award recipients included Mazda Dealership<\/strong> by DKJ Architecture Pty Ltd for Commercial Architecture and Mother Teresa Catholic College<\/strong> by Rossi Architects, Bennett Design and Walter Brooke for Educational Architecture. MegaFauna Central<\/strong> by Tangentyere Design received a Commendation for Interior Architecture.<\/p>\n

The Enduring Architecture Award was awarded to Cox Architecture<\/strong> for the Ayers Rock Resort (Yulara).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Ayers Rock resort is a perfect example of great enduring design and how this responds to the environment by following the serpentine shape of the valley,\u2019 the jury said. \u2018The building is still a bright light in the desert and surprises many visitors to Uluru through its extraordinary vibrancy.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n

The President\u2019s Prize was awarded by NT President Jenny Culgan to Peter Sommerville, Department of Lands Planning and Logistics, Alice Springs with the Student Prize being awarded to Ellen Brand from Charles Darwin University. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andrew Broffman from Tangentyere Design and Susan Dugdale, Susan Dugdale & Associates were both presented with a Certificate of Fellowship from the Institute.<\/p>\n

This year is the first time the Awards have been held in Alice Springs. Guests enjoyed the opportunity to visit the Red Centre and take advantage of the comprehensive program that the NT Chapter delivered for the Awards event, both before and after Saturday\u2019s ceremony.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
