Seventy buildings of all shapes and sizes have been shortlisted for the 2016 Victorian Architecture Awards ahead of the awards ceremony in late June.
Nearly 130 of the 198 entries were trimmed by the 45-strong jury after an intensive schedule of site visits and presentations.
As was the case in 2015, the residential categories once again have the strongest numbers across the 15 total categories with some 30 projects shortlisted in the Residential Architecture —Houses (New), —Houses (Alterations & Additions) and —Multiple Housing categories.
Interior Architecture will also be a strong category with 10 shortlisted projects, as will Public Architecture which has nine across the New, and Alterations & Additions sub categories.
The race for the Sustainable Architecture award is tipped to a good one as well, with the likes of Six Degrees and their Western Business Accelerator and Centre for Excellence project up against David Luck’s interesting Grass House as well as others from Bent Architecture, Croxon Ramsay Architects and DiMase Architects.
Winners will be announced at the annual Presentation Dinner on Friday 24 June at Peninsula at Shed 14 Central Pier, Docklands. Named Award and Award winners will progress onto the National Architecture Awards, announced in November.
All entries including the shortlisted projects will be exhibited at No Vacancy Gallery QV for a period of two weeks from 7 June.
