The Australian Institute of Architects’ 2019 Tasmanian Architecture Awards has announced 17 winners and commendations from a pool of 37 entries. From luxury tourism accommodation and cruise ship shelters; to a community hub, health centre and camp delivered in partnership with the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania – the awards captured the multiple identities of the state’s built environment.
Awards jury chair Neal Mackinstosh, of JAWS Architects, describes the 2019 entrants and winners as ‘reflecting the quality Tasmanian architects bring to their craft – whatever the size and scope of the project.’ He explains, ‘as usual, a high level of inventiveness is evident, with Tasmanian architects stretching lean budgets to produce spatially rich and engaging buildings.’ Physical isolation breeds innovation!
In the residential section, keen TDF readers may recognise the #TheBaeTAS by young architects Liz Walsh and Alex Nielsen, which won the Edith Emery Award for alternations and additions. This tiny renovation recently featured in our round-up of ‘10 Unreal, Architectural Homes You Can Stay In!’
