The winners of the\nAustralian Institute of Architects\u2019 Queensland State Architecture Awards have\nbeen announced at the annual Awards night on Friday 14 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following an extensive Regional\nArchitecture Awards program, 62 unique projects were shortlisted for state\nhonours, some in multiple categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highlight from this year\u2019s judging was\nthe exceptional quality of sustainable design principles deployed across the\nvarious projects, demonstrating a strong commitment to human-centred design\nthat is responsive to the unique and varied climates that exist across\nQueensland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The QUT Creative Industries Precinct 2 by\nRichard Kirk Architect and HASSELL Ltd (Architects in Association) has claimed top\nhonours in three categories \u2013 the Jennifer Taylor Award for Educational\nArchitecture, Don Roderick Award for Heritage and GHM Addison Award for Interior\nArchitecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incorporating a new six storey building set within the state heritage\nlisted former Gona Barracks, the precinct was praised by the jury as \u2018a world-class example of a creative arts\nstudies educational building\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Pushing the boundaries of educational architecture, the building is\ndesigned to cross-pollinate the various art disciplines with verandahs flanking\nstacked teaching and performing studios, providing a shared experience. Corner\nwindows to the studios provide views to these spaces, allowing a holistic\nengagement with dance, music and fashion, which brings the student work to the\npublic realm.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Harry Marks\nAward for Sustainable Architecture went to 25 King by Bates Smart, which also received\nthe Beatrice Hutton Award for Commercial Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Cited as the\ntallest commercial timber building with the largest floor plate in the world,\n25 King Street is a potential catalyst for positive change within the\nQueensland building design discourse. A restrained glazed rectilinear form of\n10 levels with basement belies the importance of the structural resolution\nwithin adopting an all timber structural system, demonstrating a sustainable\nand viable alternative to established construction methodologies of steel and\nconcrete.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018This building\nillustrates the potential for more sustainable alternative structural systems\nto sit confidently within the urban context, catalysing conversations about how\nand with what we build,\u2019 the jury said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Robin Dods Award for Residential –\nHouses (New) was awarded to Bellbird Retreat by Steendijk along with the\nColorbond Award for Steel Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018This \u201coff-the-grid\u201d\nretreat provides its owners the opportunity to escape and unwind from city life\nwithin a conserved rural setting. Compact in size and function this building is\na highly considered and well-resolved dwelling that has improved the lives of\nits owners and their guests. This building is a memorable piece of architecture\nat the highest level.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Queensland Chapter President, Paul Trotter\ncongratulated winners and entrants for continuing to innovate and create\nprojects that make a positive impact for those who work, live and play within\nthem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Architecture has the unique ability to\nimpact upon people\u2019s lives and create a legacy for future generations, this\nyear\u2019s award winners can all be proud of that achievement,\u2019 Trotter said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Projects that\nreceived a Named Award or Award are now in the running for the National\nArchitecture Awards to be announced in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
