The 2005 national architecture award winners have been announced. The RAIA National Architecture Awards have been held annually since 1981. These Awards are the most prestigious in the design and construction industry, and have had a significant influence on trends in architectural design.
In judging the projects, the overall quality of the work is considered. Issues include:
- how well the project meets its original intentions
- the client’s satisfaction with the project
- environmental performance and use of energy
- contribution to the advancement of architecture.
The RAIA Robin Boyd Award for Residential Buildings was won by architects, Stutchbury & Pape for their design of Springwater, a residence in the Sydney north beaches suburb of Seaforth.
“This building was always considered as a subtle extraction of the site, balance of weight and weightless. Moving down the site, free to the west, fragmented along the contour, held by grounded pockets. The extension of platforms encourages living at a variety of sites, the building becoming as directed by occupants either just a shelter in the bush or a series of secure rooms each exploring the art of space. The house occupant is kept consistently aware of change and place as the house sits as only a veil within the landscape. Occasionally a moment of dreaming is captured in an expression whose simplicity goes beyond the reasons where the moment belongs, but daily we find the rooms occupied by function or silence.”
