DESIGN INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA AWARDS 2017
Award of Merit
Category : Educational Architecture
Jury Comments
This project was a clear winner amongst the jury. The level of ambition and execution is to be commended. The design places community and interaction, circulation and movement at its literal centre with classrooms all leading from a striking set piece stair and bleachers within a double height space. The environmental efficient LVL structure provides an aesthetic motif that has been repeated throughout an interior of timber veneers, bold colours and terraced geometries combining to form a modern and bright education interior. It is an exemplar space that brings high quality architecture to the suburbs of Perth.

Jury Comments
The Kindergarten addition to the John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School in Beechboro provides children with a wonderful learning environment that is inviting, nurturing, fit for purpose, flexible and most importantly fun. The design response is a highly sophisticated and exceptionally well considered outcome. Material selections give the space a sense of warmth and natural charm while being appropriately robust and durable. The elegant detailing is well executed and the space conveys a strong sense of craftsmanship. Clever provisions for the “mess of play” include a custom designed hanging system for children’s paintings and drawings. Puzzle shaped storage units act as mobile partitions for dividing the space into a variety of areas to suit different teaching modes. The use of colour is subtle and inspires rather than dictates and the ambience created from the composition of skylights, light fixtures and coloured acoustic panels in the coffered ceiling is poetic. Clever appropriation of budget has enabled a wonderful result to be achieved within tight financial constraints and environmental attributes are intrinsic rather than applied. This project is an example for primary school teaching spaces and is a wonderful outcome for the local community and families with children in the area. A space that will undoubtedly reside in the collective memories of the children and staff that enjoy the facility.

Jury Comments
Conceived within a sustainable framework, this kindergarten features a large-scale structural grid - the defining interior motif for the project. Internally the timber grid is lined with ecoply panels, creating a negative space into which linear lighting elements have been inserted. The grid is enlivened with squares of colour interspersed with skylights which give both playful and acoustic balance to the spaces. Colour, which lines selective walls and joinery, adds an element of joy, while playfulness comes in the form of large scale jigsaw pieces which act as both storage elements and mobile room dividers.

Jury Comments
Judges were extremely impressed with the beautiful layering and complete compositional use of colour throughout the project. Playful, peaceful and sophisticated, the colours were pushed to the next level without being overwhelming. Plywood ceilings above successfully tied the space together. The project is a fine example of using bright colours in harmony to create an exciting environment for children without introducing the usual primary colours.

The B Shed project demonstrates all conservation practices including conservation of existing fabric, restoration and reconstruction of missing elements. Importantly, it includes a large component of adaptive re-use that follows Burra Charter principles very carefully.The ferry operators, the Rottnest Island Authority and the café are housed within the shed in contemporary facilities which juxtapose with the original shed structure. Fremantle Ports has put considerable time and resources into this refurbishment, working with the Heritage Council of Western Australia, architects, heritage consultants and others to ensure that the heritage of this former cargo shed is well respected

Skilful space planning has resolved a long thin space lacking natural light into a dramatic theatrical working office environment. Clever delineation between the fashion catwalk & clothing storage space around the perimeter, with the workstations & meeting room in the centre has created a stage effect.

Jury Comments
A very clean juxtaposition between the original structure and the insertion of new contemporary internal spaces. Large areas are contrasted with more intimate spaces while skilful use of materials expose the original structure and acknowledge the nature of the building. The predominantly white palette assists in creating a bright and clean contemporary environment.

This juice store concept encompassed a strong sense of theatre, animation and energy. The unique design is both memorable and transportable, working in the majority of locations. The use of materials and illuminated panels is strong and harmonious with the overall design theme.

The project shows a striking concept with a strong visual impact, where the three-dimensional graphic entry extrudes into the interior form. The form also integrated the functional aspects of the shoe display, with a creative use of materials and detailing.

Jury Comments
The body of work presented by Tom Brooking was exceptional, pushing the boundaries of spatial design and the jury felt the work deserved acclaim overall. The spatial design and planning of the VIP lounge space was considered creative especially considering the difficulty of the basement tenancy. The use of spatial texture in the ceiling and existing limestone walls make a very interesting juxtaposition, tying into the ‘jailhouse theme’ of the nightclub.

Jury Comments
The resolution of the interior design for this project is highly sophisticated, considering it’s a new fitout restricted by the challenges of an older building. The restrained control of the project reveals a maturity beyond the designer’s years. The designer embraced the responsible role of conduit linking distant branches of the client’s offices to be merged The result is subtle yet powerful and clearly reflects the position and culture of the company as well as the clear dialogue the client had with the design practice. Successful integration of different aspects of the design is evident from the formal architectural planning, strong public area atmosphere and fun staff coffee facilities. Consummate handling of philosophical, technical and social needs of the company is evident, and similarly, environmental issues have been considered with a passion. Both the interior design and the designer himself clearly articulate the client’s ethos leading to a breathtakingly beautiful result.
