Australia’s leading steel building products manufacturer, Lysaght invites architects, building designers and building owners to enter the inaugural Lysaght Design Inspiration Awards.

Observing that Lysaght’s products have been an iconic element of the Australian landscape for over 150 years and are now being used to create iconic structures of the future, Matt Lloyde, Lysaght’s National Manager Innovation and Marketing explains that the awards aim to identify and recognise the exceptional architecture being created using Lysaght products.

According to Matt, Lysaght team members work closely with architects and designers from the early design stages where comprehensive product solutions are sought, in meetings where specifications are challenged, and throughout projects to ensure the company delivers on every detail of a design vision.  

“We know the talent and passion that is poured into the projects we support and, with the Lysaght Design Inspiration Awards, we wish to acknowledge it,” adds Matt.

Architects, building designers and building owners are invited to submit their inspiring building projects, completed between January 1, 2013, and June 30, 2018 that clearly display a significant proportion of Lysaght steel building products. Entries will need to be submitted between July 30, 2018, and October 7th, 2018.

All entries will be evaluated by a panel of industry experts with ‘Category Awards’ to be given out across five specific categories, and one from the five winners to be awarded the overall ‘Lysaght Design Inspiration Award’.

The five award categories include:

1. Commercial Projects (office, retail, warehouse, education and institutions)

2. Industrial Buildings (factories, processing facilities and agricultural)

3. Residential Projects (houses, villas, apartments, aged care and similar facilities)

4. ZENITH™ Projects (structures utilising products from the new LYSAGHT ZENITH™ range of architectural cladding)

5. Heritage/Restoration Projects (refurbishment of existing building and structures)

Each category winner will receive a $2,000 cash prize and their winning project will feature in the next edition of Lysaght’s ‘Design Inspiration’ publication, including acknowledgement of the winner and their company, where applicable.

The ‘Lysaght Design Inspiration Award’ winner will receive a trip for two to the World Architectural Festival in Amsterdam in November this year, including Premium Economy flights for two to Amsterdam, Premium attendance packages for the festival and seven nights’ accommodation in Amsterdam. Their winning project will also feature on the cover of the next edition of Lysaght’s ‘Design Inspiration’ publication, including acknowledgement of the winner and their company, where applicable.
