Overall, the jury was impressed by the focus on community, as well as the diverse architectural responses to the challenging conditions of designing in the Territory. Also notable this year were the important relationships established by the architects with the clients and builders, resulting in excellent outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Springs CBD Revitalisation by Susan Dugdale and Associates was presented with the top honour of the night, the Tracy Memorial Medal, in addition to the George Goyder Award for Urban Design and the COLORBOND\u00ae Award for Steel Architecture making it the most awarded project of the Territory\u2019s 2015 awards program.<\/p>\n<p>Local community benefits, environmental response and cultural aspects of this project were highlighted by the jury. They also noted it had successfully incorporated the environmental and indigenous heritage of the community, reduced the street clutter and provided a comfortable and colourful resting point for locals and visitors alike.<br \/>\n\u2018The jury commends the council and community for initiating and supporting this project, and the designers for delivering this first stage which has the potential to increase public enjoyment, vibrancy and cultural engagement and most positively shape the future of Alice.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Susan Dugdale and Associates also took home an Award for Commercial Architecture for their innovative design of new headquarters for \u2018young and progressive\u2019 construction company, Asbuild.<\/p>\n<p>Desert House, perched high on a west facing ridge of Alice Springs, by Dunn and Hillam Architects received an Award for Residential Architecture \u2013 Houses (New).
