2017 NSW Architecture Awards winners announced

A large number of projects have been recognised at the 2017 NSW Architecture Awards over the weekend.

From a shortlist of 88 projects, 66 awards and commendations were handed out for categories including commercial, educational, heritage, interior, public, residential and sustainable.

Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing was the largest category in the 2017 NSW program. From a strong field of 34 entries, the jury shortlisted 14 projects. A total of nine awards and commendations were bestowed in this category alone.

Taking out the top award in the category was President Avenue by Candalepas Associates. The jury said of the project, “[it] sets an ambitious agenda, changing the expectations of apartment living in the outer suburbs and suggesting how an increased density can be sustainably and sensitively achieved”.
