Architecture Architecture have come out on top at the 2017 ArchiTeam Awards, taking home three awards.
The Melbourne-based practice received two awards for Dark Horse, a reinterpretation of a workers cottage in Melbourne. The jury described the project as a “layered and complex project that embodies and manifests a lot of the architect’s thinking and theories”, acknowledging the house with the coveted ArchiTeam Medal and as a joint winner of the Residential – New category.
Architecture Architecture’s other awarded project was Together Apart, which was recognised with a Small Project Medal commendation.
Other notable practices represented among the awards was FIGR Architecture Studio, who won the Residential – Alterations & Additions category with its Light Corridor House project. The firm’s Datum House also received a commendation for Residential – New.
Each year, the ArchiTeam Awards provides a platform for Australia’s smaller practices to showcase their designs to the larger architectural and design community (not to mention the general public).
This year’s winners – which came from a shortlist of 25 projects – were announced last night in Melbourne.
