A reimagined 19th century fisherman’s cottage and a thoughtfully designed community preschool to a purpose-built brewery venue, the Sydney Opera House renewal, and the Locomotive Workshops heritage conversion are among the many significant projects in the shortlist announced for the 2023 NSW Architecture Awards.
Australian Institute of Architects NSW Chapter president Adam Haddow said great architecture made society more equitable, healthier, and ultimately more interesting.
“This year’s NSW Architecture Awards shortlist represents projects built almost entirely during the pandemic – pleasingly they are full of optimism, beauty, joy, and delight.
“Collectively the projects shine a light on our challenge to solve the two greatest challenges of our age – finding a sustainable future and delivering housing equity.”
The 132 projects were shortlisted across multiple award categories including Residential Houses – New, Residential – Multiple Housing, Residential Houses – Alterations and Additions, Interior Architecture, Heritage Architecture, Commercial Architecture, Urban Design, Public Architecture, Educational Architecture, Small Projects, and Sustainability.
Winners will be announced on 23 June 2023 at a live event being held at the Sydney Modern.
