A boutique hotel in Hobart, dubbed “a hidden delightful world,” has been awarded the inaugural Tasmanian Architecture Medal at the 2021 Tasmanian Architecture Awards.
Moss 25 by Circa Morris-Nunn Chua Architects was described by the jury as “an exemplary example of the reuse of disused city space to create a rich environment that contributes to a denser and vital city.”
The project was also awarded the Colin Philp Award for Commercial Architecture.
Tourism projects featured strongly in the Tasmanian Architecture Awards. Floating Sauna Derby by Licht Architecture impressed the jury with its “richness of experience,” and earned the the Peter Wilmott Award for Small Project Architecture.
The Tasmanian Architecture Awards is the second in a series of state and territory chapter awards to be announced by Australian Institute of Architects.
Winners of awards and named awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in November.
