1 QUEENSLAND STATE ARCHITECTURE AWARDS CITATIONS

2 TRYP - Art Hotel Shane Denman Architects The Australian Institute of Architects Art & Architecture Prize (QLD) Graffiti art found within a derelict building inspired the concept to marshal the original renowned street artists and conceptually theme the redeveloped hotel. Salvaged original artworks along with newly commissioned pieces permeate all aspects of the fitout including lift shafts, stairways, wallpaper, basins and courtyard walls. The resultant architecture is deeply imbued by, not only the art and the gritty texture of the surrounding context, but as much by the careful curatorial role of the architects in forming such meaningful assemblage. Set design for La Boite's 'A Streetcar Named Desire' Vilma Mattila and Kevin O'Brien Architects Art & Architecture A clever contemporary set design that brought together architectural interpretation, performing artists and designers to create a dynamic stage setting. Spatial thresholds are implied through the simple use of folded ply and steel tube to provide a scaffold for the performers to enact and engage with the audience. Ringrose Residence Brian Hooper Architect Colorbond Award for Steel Architecture (QLD) A deceptively simple planning hierarchy linking three pavilions sheltered beneath a cantilevered skillion canopy. Ringrose Residence as an exemplar is simple and unadorned, raw and robust with a leanness of structure. It is an treatise in the rural steel shed vernacular utilising both primary and secondary steel framing and the larger profiled Accent 35 corrugated sheeting for both roof and wall. Deep rhythmic shadows cast from the roof and wall shading form a cool and generous threshold to the landscape while providing welcome relief from the arid topography. Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology nettletontribe Architecture Commercial Architecture Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology is a significant medical facility with a complex operational brief diligently addressed by the architects. A top-lit central void and rooftop terrace provide social spaces with experiential variety for occupants. Interactions with the urbanized setting guide both the aesthetic and planning strategies of the design. 2 P a g e

Analogies between landscape metaphor and surrounding historic building fabric inform the materiality, scale, detail and expression of the building adding unexpected delight to Brisbane s first highrise steel building for 40 years. 3 P a g e
