A terrific overview of the recent Brisbane edition of The Architecture Symposium where Associate Principal Sarah Lynn Rees, presented the Atlantic Fellows For Social Equity Hub project at the University of Melbourne: "Country was celebrated and cared for through a lengthy, detailed and collaborative design process".

T3 Collingwood is a project that’s taken us around Australia and the world – from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Awards in London to a variety of conferences on mass timber and sustainability in Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania. It’s also brought the world to us – we’ve hosted dozens of tours and events for international guests and local clients, all keen to learn more about its design and construction. Last week, T3 took us to the 2024 National Architecture Awards where it won the Harry Seidler Award for Commercial Architecture. It’s been an amazing journey, and huge thanks go to everyone who has been involved in the project, from our client Hines to our stellar project team. Jury Citation: "T3 Collingwood is a demonstration of how architectural mastery can achieve authenticity for a commercial building in an urban setting. The building is the result of a client and architect with the collaborative aim to achieve ambitious social, sustainability and community targets. The architecture prioritises urban design appropriateness over artifice. Outwardly it thoughtfully employs scale, material and composition to acknowledge the existing historic brick industrial context of Collingwood. The architects investigated multiple building envelope strategies to provide civic-minded engagement at street level, revealing previously concealed historical context while still achieving necessary commercial imperatives. Internally the building achieves ambitious sustainability targets and adopts biophilic principles to generate an innovative commercial tower environment. The tower floor plates create employee-centric workplace environments, which possess a calming, tactile quality unique in office tower environments. These workspaces are the result of careful curation of mass-timber construction methodology and structural grid tectonics. A high level of architectural rigour and collaborative expertise has yielded a building that achieves best-practice sustainability targets via innovative mass-timber construction. This building is progressive and authentic at once." Traditional Owners: The Wurundjeri People | Photographers: Tom Blachford and John Gollings.

We're incredibly honoured and proud that Berninneit Cultural and Community Centre has been recognised with a National Award for Public Architecture in the 2024 National Architecture Awards. Bernie has been such a rewarding project to work on, especially seeing the building come to life on recent visits with a rich and diverse mix of activities – from film screenings and dance classes to workshops and writer's festivals. It's terrific to see Bernie so enthusiastically embraced and enjoyed! Jury Citation excerpt: "Berninneit Cultural and Community Centre is a new arts and culture centre incorporating a 250-seat theatre, multipurpose community rooms, a regional library, historical society museum, meeting rooms and council offices. Berninneit (a Bunurong word meaning “gather together”) was an important introduction to the Philip Island community and one that fosters an intrinsic connection to place and culture. The plan manoeuvres around several mature, existing trees, and in doing so promotes a welcoming, warm street presence with enclosing courtyards and inviting entry zones. Precise implementation of naturally toned, carbon-neutral masonry evokes colours of the region’s dunes and cliffs, while the buckling form speaks to the regional geology and coastal topography. The main plaza can be a gathering place for larger public events, while quieter landscaped edges make for a more intermittent experience. Collaboration with landscape architects has fostered meaningful plantings of natives to augment the existing trees. The interior grand hall allows for procession throughout the building’s length, with logical access to subsidiary spaces from this spine. Uplifting natural light floods the hall, while a strong commitment to ESD principles and low-carbon materials brings about a calming quality to the larger volume."

The design of Dookie Campus student accommodation for University of Melbourne was guided by a comprehensive climate risk assessment to align with the University’s Sustainability Plan 2030, creating a future-ready environment for agricultural innovation.

Windsor Park’s design is characterised by elegant forms, apertures and playful materiality that embrace the leafy surrounds. The concept, inspired by minimalist Japanese architecture, is one of enduring design that is one with its environment. The architectural form is interpreted as a series of smaller buildings separated by pockets of greenery. Vertical breaks along both street interfaces create shadow lines, changing the macro to micro for human-scale experience. Sensitive landscaping to the neighbouring reserve evokes an urban escape, while a generous internal courtyard offers a sculptural, contemplative space for residents to enjoy, extending the park experience into the building. Considered materiality adds a layer of richness and delight to the architecture, with the use of concrete offset by lightweight, metallic panelling. Careful apartment planning maximises opportunities for natural daylight, cross-flow ventilation and dual-aspect amenity.
