The Toyota WA Head Office by Roxby Architects has taken out the highest overall honour, the George Temple Poole Award, at the Australian Institute of Architects’ WA Architecture Awards.
Honouring excellence in the design and construction industry, the Awards were held on Thursday 3 July at the Grand Ballroom at Crown.
Institute State President Philip Griffiths said the Awards are an important event for the architectural industry and the broader community as a whole.
‘The Architecture Awards represent a rare opportunity each year for a large number of Western Australian architects to show their design capabilities to their colleagues, industry and, most importantly to the public. Judgement by one’s peers is a high bar and the fact that people are prepared to nominate their projects in competition with their colleagues indicates that there is a great deal of respect for the awards in the profession.’
Presented each year to the project judged most worthy of all the award winners in each category, the George Temple Poole jury viewed an impressive array of outstanding architecture in determining this year’s award.
‘The Toyota Head Office in Kewdale is a sophisticated design response to the purpose specific client brief. The architects have responded in an elegant manner to the brief that provides a landmark site within one of WA’s largest industrial areas,’ the jury noted in awarding the Toyota WA Head Office.
‘The subtle design intent driven by the client’s brand philosophies, in particular the commitment toward sustainability was well integrated into the building, and this was clearly legible across the design.’
The Toyota WA Head Office also took out the Ross Chisholm and Gil Nicol Award For Commercial Architecture in the Commercial Architecture Category.
Fremantle kitchen and bakery Bread in Common also featured prominently in the Awards, taking out the Margaret Pitt Morison Award For Heritage, the Architecture Award in the Commercial Architecture category, the Julius Elischer Award for Interior Architecture and the Mondoluce Lighting Award.
All Western Australian Named and Architecture Award winners will progress to the Australian Insitute of Architects National Awards to be held in November.
