The best of Victoria’s emerging practices were honoured in the 2014 ArchiTeam Awards on 13 November.
Small practices and sole practitioners make up eight-five percent of Victoria’s architecture profession and the annual award offers them public platform to showcase their contributions to the state’s built environment.
In 2014, nine projects were recognized with awards and commendations. Both Index Architecture and Branch Studio picked up accolades for the second year running. Branch Studio Architects is also awarded twice this year in Community Architecture and Sustainability for Pamela Coyne Library. Judging the entries were Paul McGillick (writer and editor of architecture, art and design), Shelley Penn (past president of Australian Institute of Architects), Des Smith (Deakin University).
