Winners of the Queensland State Architecture Awards announced
Winners of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2017 Queensland State Architecture Awards include the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and Cape Tribulation House.
Winners of the awards, handed down Friday June 23, 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.
Jury members said the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, (above) by Architectus Brisbane and HDR Rice Daubney as Sunshine Coast Architects, was an 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.
A small off-the-grid home won the Robin Dods Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (New). The Cape Tribulation House, (below) by m3architecture, is within the World Heritage Daintree and is camouflaged with black cladding and mirrored glass.
‘The jury said in this property, social heart is a breezeway deck with pavilions offering contemplation and comfort and a disciplined and deep respect for the rainforest drives the holistic approach from siting to occupation.
BVN’s office tower at 480 Queen Street (above) won the Beatrice Hutton Award for Commercial Architecture with the jury praiseing the project for its ‘extensive and generous public realm [that] offers the community and tenants memorable experiences guided by themes including linkages with nearby St John’s Cathedral and topographic metaphors referencing the site’s historic condition’.
Overall category winners for workspaces included Studio for Indigo Jungle by Marc&Co (above) 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.
