Architecture Awards

We are proud to be associated with the Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre project which took out top honours at this year’s AIA Victorian Architecture Awards for architects Ashton Raggatt McDougall.

This was one of our first projects – job number 16. Putting this into context, we now have over 160 projects to our name.  This building was particularly challenging from a lighting design perspective; lots of complex spaces and elements to light.  We are pretty happy with the results and so must the clients’ marketing department seeing as most promotional images we have been are night shots.

The project received the following gongs: the  2009 Victorian Architecture Medal; the William Wardell Award for public architecture; the Marion Mahony Award for interior architecture and the Joseph Reed Award for urban design.

Chair of juries, Philip Goad, says the combined buildings make a significant contribution to Melbourne’s arts precinct and may well expand current audiences, sentiments echoed in the Victorian Medal jury citation.
