2019 NT Architecture Awards

The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the winners of the 2019 Northern Territory Architecture Awards. This year marked the first occasion on which the awards ceremony has been held in Alice Springs.

Alice Springs-based practice Susan Dugdale and Associates again won the program’s top honour – the Tracy Memorial Award – for MPH HQ, a transformation of a working shed. The practice won the same prize in 2018 for the ASTC Garden Cemetery Chapel.

“We’ve all seen the big shed, front office typology that proliferates at the verges of our cities,’ the jury said. “Rather than ordinary, though, MPH HQ is extraordinary.”
