ArchiTeam releases finalists list for 2021 Awards

ArchiTeam has announced the finalists for its 2021 ArchiTeam Awards, after receiving 115 entries for projects from across the country.

After entries were closed on 4 October, the judges began vetting the submissions, followed by putting together the list for finalists, which has now been completed.

The 2021 awards signal the ceremony’s fourteenth year, celebrating and showcasing a number of projects from Australia’s foremost architectural practices. This year sees the awards altered in order to make them more accessible and winnable, with the Residential Alteration and Additions broken into three subcategories, sorting the projects by budget. The category now includes awards for homes built for ‘under $500k’, ‘between $500k-$1m’ and ‘over $1m’.

All awards nominees are ArchiTeam members, with those looking to win the awards who are not ArchiTeam members encouraged to join up and reap the benefits of membership.

ArchiTeam’s People’s Choice Awards, judged by the public, is open until 5pm on Wednesday 27 October. Anyone who would like to vote is encouraged to do so here.

Please find the full list of finalists for the 2021 ArchiTeam Awards.
