The Australian Institute of Architects has announced the winners of the 2019 WA Architecture Awards, which honour and celebrate excellence in architecture across the state.
WA chapter president Peter Hobbs said, “This year’s winning projects demonstrate the importance of quality architecture when it comes to creating and sustaining successful, vibrant communities not just today, but well into the future.”
The new Perth Children’s Hospital, by JCY Architects and Urban Designers, Cox Architecture and Billard Leece Partnership with HKS Inc., stormed to victory in three categories – Sustainable Architecture, Public Architecture, and Interior Architecture – and also won the program’s top honour, the George Temple Poole Award.
The jury said, “From children and parents, through to specialist consultants and medical staff, the design team have created a high quality, people-first environment that changes our perception of what a hospital can be.”
“The atrium design in itself is a work of art, a spectacular space using sculptural forms to delight all those who enter and enabling visual connections across floors, providing a constant but dynamic point of reference.”
