Sixteen years of ArchiTeam Awards

Clocking over into its sixteenth year as an awards program, the ArchiTeam awards acknowledge success and achievement across a wide range of built environment categories. 

All ArchiTeam members from across Australia were invited to enter and undergo critique from a jury comprised of prestigious figures in Australia’s architecture industry such as Ajith Kuruvilla from Gray Space, Philip Stejskal from the eponymous Western Australian practice, Lynn Chew from Kerstin Thompson Architects, Ben Peake from Carter Williamson Architects, and many more.

Category Awards

This year’s categories are Residential Alterations and Additions – sponsored by James Hardie – Commercial, Community and Public, Unbuilt, Residential New and Innovation and Contribution. 

The James Hardie-sponsored Residential Alterations and Additions award was separated into a further three subcategories – projects ‘under $500,0000,’ ‘between $500,000 and $1 million’ and ‘over $1 million.’

Further specifications were also made in the AWS-sponsored Residential New category, which has two subcategories for projects ‘up to $1 million’ and ‘over $1 million.’

An award recipient has the chance to become a certified Passive House consultant under the Australian Passive House Association-sponsored Passive House Scholarship.

Finalists in this year’s Residential New award – across subcategories of both ‘up to $1 million’ and ‘over $1 million’–  include Brown Hill House by Eldridge Anderson Architects, Glen Huntly I by Agius Scorpo Architects, Nobel Carter Architects’ design of Middle House, and numerous others.
