The project is a collaboration between architecture firms Johnson Pilton Walker and Tanner Kibble Denton (TKD).

At the institute’s NSW awards in July, the project won three categories – Commercial Architecture, Heritage and Urban Design. It is a finalist in the same three categories for the national awards which will be announced in Sydney on November 3.

Immediate past president and 2016 national jury chair Jon Clements says the annual awards, considered Australia’s highest architectural honours, showcase the talent of local architects.

‘The evolution of the profession, coupled with the creativity and commitment of our architects continues to raise the bar in design and leading practice,” Mr Clements says.

Other shortlisted projects include a winery, a regional art gallery, a converted fire station and, in the residential categories, a record number of standout houses.

“We have identified a number of projects that delivered admirable outcomes from limited means,” Mr Clements says.

“These projects highlight the enduring value of architecture and the clear and demonstrable public benefit dividend it delivers.”

More than 890 entries were submitted in the 14 categories. The Australian Institute of Architects’ 2016 jury decided on the shortlist of 79 projects, based on 209 entries deemed eligible after the Chapter Award program held earlier in the year.

The People’s Choice Award launches on World Architecture Day – Monday, October 3 – where the public can vote for their favourite residential project.

More information about the 2016 awards and voting in the People’s Choice Award is available at the official website.
