2022 Victorian Architecture Awards shortlist

The Australian Institute of Architects has revealed the shortlist for the 2022 Victorian Architecture Awards. With 125 entries making the cut, the shortlist is one of the largest in recent years.

“Despite building reform challenges the design and building industry has faced in recent years, we’re very pleased to witness and experience the ongoing significant and positive contributions architects are providing in shaping our built landscape for all Victorians,” said Victorian chapter president Bill Krotiris.

“The diversity of the shortlist clearly illustrates the broad reach architecture has across urban, suburban, and rural contexts.

“Projects range from strategic large scale urban renewal works with carefully considered conservation works, through to new sustainable multi-residential models in our inner urban and ring suburbs and regions, through to innovative individual residential and interior interventions.”

The jury shortlist just under half of the 252 entries, and they will now make in-person visits to each of the shortlisted entries. Winners will be announced on 17 June.

The shortlisted projects are:
