Four Tasmanian projects have received nationwide acclaim at the 2022 Australian Institute of Architects’ National Architecture Awards, presented tonight at an event held at Taronga Zoo, Sydney.
Hobart’s striking new landmark, and performing arts precinct building, The Hedberg, by LIMINAL Architecture with WOHA, was awarded a National Award for Interior Architecture. The building brings together heritage and contemporary elements, along with complex technical requirements.
In the residential architecture categories, Bence Mulcahy’s Fusilier Cottage, a renovation of an 1830s Battery Point Heritage Precinct home, received a National Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions).
A National Award for Sustainable Architecture was awarded to Spring Bay Mill Ridge Quarters – an accommodation addition to the extensive transformation of what was once the world’s largest wood chipping facility into a cultural and environment focused events venue – by Gilby + Brewin Architecture.
Completing the Tasmanian accolades, Preston Lane’s Long Beach Amenities received a National Commendation for Small Project Architecture. The new facilities offer more than a ‘standard amenities building’ in a pavilion that wraps the contours of the site as it mediates between a playground, the water’s edge, and a parkland at the top of the site.
The National Awards celebrate the diversity and quality of the nation’s built environment professionals.
The 2022 National Architecture Awards provide an opportunity to celebrate projects which the jury noted as “truly capturing the spirit of Australian architecture”.
Jury Chair and Immediate Past National President Tony Giannone congratulated all winners and thanked all entrants.
“Awards judging inevitably has a subjective lens and, as a national jury, we acknowledge that all the projects listed are already winners in each of their states, and celebrated within their own communities – a huge achievement.”
“The jury congratulates all the entrants for putting forward their work and advocating for design integrity in the Australian landscape. The presentations and the storytelling were passionate, truly capturing the spirit of Australian architecture.”
The 2022 National Architecture Award Winners were announced via a sold-out in-person event at Taronga Zoo, Sydney. They were selected from a shortlist of 85 finalists drawn from a field of 184 entries eligible for consideration at the National Architecture Awards.
Tony Giannone LFRAIA (jury chair, director of TECTVS, SA) was joined on the jury by Adrian Iredale RAIA (director, Iredale Penderson Hook Architects, WA), Caroline Pidcock LFRAIA (director, Pidcock Architecture, NSW), Poppy Taylor RAIA (founding director, Taylor and Hinds Architects, TAS) and Tim Ross (director, Modernister Films, NSW).
