We are very pleased to announce that we have collected the IESANZ Lighting Design Award of Excellence for CBRE Headquarters at the NSW awards. This is to go along with the corresponding award of Excellence received for 171 Collins Street at the Victorian IES awards. The award of Excellence is the highest award conferred at state level.
The IESANZ lighting awards have been a fixture in the Australian lighting scene for 30 years and sets the benchmark for Australian lighting design. It is judged by a panel that includes lighting designers, architects, interior designers and industry lighting experts. Each project is judged ‘in the flesh’ rather than from photos alone and it is this aspect–the peer recognition of our work–that is the most satisfying of all.
Sydney studio director Donn Salisbury said “Taking out the state’s top lighting design award was a great way to wrap up our first year in Sydney, and is a credit to our team’s dedication and passion. This, paired with Melbourne’s recent success, makes me very proud to have such glowing talent bottled up in two studios. CBRE and WMK were amazing clients, always open to the collaborative nature of our design approach. It’s definitely encouraging to finally see our work materialising into beautiful projects, and we’re looking forward to many more over the years to come.”
