Every now and again a single building is the stimulus for a city\u2019s evolution. The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute\u2019s (SAHMRI) is one such building and its reputation as Adelaide\u2019s international icon has been cemented tonight at the 2014 SA Architecture Awards.<\/p>\n
Woods Bagot received the Keith Neighbour Award for Commercial Architecture, Robert Dickson Award for Interior Architecture, Jack McConnell Award for Public Architecture, Derrick Kendrick Award for Sustainable Architecture and the COLORBOND\u00ae Award for Steel Architecture for the \u2018joyful landmark that contributes so strongly to Adelaide\u2019s skyline\u2019 at the prestigious ceremony on Friday night held at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.<\/p>\n
\u2018The project operates as a catalyst on multiple levels \u2013 a catalyst for the urban regeneration of the precinct; a catalyst and new exemplar for the city; and a catalyst for the state, evidencing step change in attitudes to both design and research,\u2019 the jury exclaimed.<\/p>\n
Troppo Architects\u2019 Caf\u00e9 Troppo was honoured with the City of Adelaide Prize which recognises innovation and excellence in enhancing the public realm of the city.<\/p>\n
\u2018Caf\u00e9 Troppo demonstrates the importance of shared public spaces and ground level activity in our inner metropolitan areas, bringing vitality and humanity to our growing neigbourhoods. The social conscience and generosity of spirit underpinning Caf\u00e9 Troppo combined with its urban contribution, made the jury\u2019s decision to award it the 2014 City of Adelaide prize, a unanimous one.\u2019<\/p>\n
A beach retreat that boasts \u2018a series of humble yet thoughtfully crafted and well planned spaces,\u2019 won the John S Chappel Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New). The jury noted that Grieve Gillett\u2019s Goolwa Beach House is \u2018a truly passionate testament to a design ethos that pulls no punches, marrying function and form to produce a bold and somewhat monumental punctuation in its coastal setting\u2019.<\/p>\n
The inaugural SA Chapter Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (Alterations and Additions) was presented to Architects Ink for their \u2018beautifully crafted contemporary pavilion addition,\u2019 Residence R, which \u2018sets itself apart as a truly timeless addition to Adelaide\u2019s architectural landscape\u2019.<\/p>\n
Other awards on the night celebrated Enduring Architecture, Heritage Architecture, Small Project Architecture and Urban Design in addition to individual honours, the Sir James Irwin President\u2019s Prize and the Emerging Architect Prize (see list below for all winners).<\/p>\n
Projects that received a Named Award or an Architecture Award now progress to the 2014 National Architecture Awards to be announced in Darwin on 6 November.<\/p>\n
