2015 WA Architecture Awards

State Government Hospital Wins Top Prize at 2015 WA Architecture Awards

The Fiona Stanley Hospital has taken out the highest overall honour, the George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects’ WA Architecture Awards.

Honouring excellence in the design and construction industry, the Awards were held on Friday July 3 at Crown Perth’s Grand Ballroom.

The major tertiary hospital for Perth’s south metropolitan region, Fiona Stanley Hospital breaks new ground in hospital design, with a layout that can accommodate future expansion, new developments in clinical treatment and medical technologies.

Comprising of architectural practices HASSELL, Hames Sharley and Silver Thomas Hanley, the Fiona Stanley Design Collaboration was commended by the jury on an outstanding design, sustained through many challenges.

“It is a landmark project in all senses and achieves a high standard of design, integrating architecture and landscape architecture. The Fiona Stanley Hospital was an ambitious State project and has demonstrated a high level of achievement and will continue to do so into the future as the site is further developed to its envisaged full potential,” the jury said.

The Fiona Stanley Hospital also took out The Jeffrey Howlett Award for Public Architecture, The Wallace Greenham Award for Sustainable Architecture and a Commendation in the Urban Design category.

Also featuring among this year’s award winners is the Cancer Wellness Centre by Bernard Seeber Pty Ltd, which won The Margaret Pitt Morison Award for Heritage following on from a WA Heritage Award earlier this year.

The inaugural Enduring Architecture Award went to the iconic Council House building by Howlett and Bailey Architects for its world-class Modernist civic architecture and enduring landmark status in the centre of Perth.

Australian Institute of Architects WA President Philip Griffiths said that the 2015 WA Architecture Awards re-affirmed the high quality of work produced by architects in the state.

“This year’s winners represent the best of the best, having been selected from over 120 very fine entries. It is indeed a rich showcase and it is very pleasing to see that all Named and Architecture Awards were for Western Australian practitioners,” Griffiths said.

All Western Australian Named and Architecture Award winners will progress to the Australian Institute of Architects National Awards to be held in November.
