We’re super proud to receive the  Australian Institute of Architects 2015 NSW Architecture Awards – IALD Lighting Prize for best lighting for our West Kiera project.  This is the first time this award has been granted in Australia and the project will now be automatically entered into the prestigious international IALD awards program for 2016.

The Judges Commented   “In this large commercial building, lighting has been used with great skill to assist with the creation of a diversity of spaces and scales, both intimate and grand. Deviating from prescribed solutions, the lighting strategy displays a detailed coordination between light and architecture, where both natural and artificial lighting is used to enhance the building’s complex materiality and structure”

Electrolight’s director and project leader Donn Salisbury said “We were delighted to receive this recognition for our work on a truly unique project.  The project’s success was made possible through the collaboration with our friends at HDR Rice Daubney and the vision of the client team at GPT”
