The 2015 Brisbane Architecture Awards were announced on Friday 8 May at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane.
The Australian Institute of Architects Queensland Chapter recognized 38 projects in 11 categories with Regional Commendations. Among them, two received additional honours. All projects recognized will progress to the state Queensland Architecture Awards, to be announced in Brisbane on 26 June 2015.
John Dalton Award for Building of the Year
Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital – Conrad Gargett Lyons
Jury citation: Solving complex problems of urban design and architectural scale, The Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital, South Brisbane establishes a new benchmark in paediatric healthcare for the State of Queensland through innovative clinical procedures housed within legible spatial and formal gestures that place the child at the centre of care.
House of the Year
Jule House – Claire Humphreys and Kevin O’Brien Architects
Jury citation: A cave-like entry stair gives a surprising arrival up into this courtyard house, while an even more mysterious upper attic storey is hidden in plain sight. The client lives at the mid-level in cosy angular spaces that unfold into the forest floor garden and embrace the central courtyard tree.
