Bates Smart received two awards at the NSW Architecture Awards, hosted by the Institute of Architects.

 

Iglu Mascot was awarded the highest honour for Residential Architecture – Multiple Housing, The Aaron Bolot Award. The architecture centres on community in two ways. The building provides a much needed, high quality home to more than 430 university students located within 200m from Mascot Station. It also works hard to lift Mascot’s built environment, one which is dominated by bland residential super blocks, high levels of traffic congestion, a lack of public open space and less than 10% tree canopy.

Transurban won a Commendation in the Interior Architecture category. Transurban’s new office, located in Sydney’s Poly Centre, achieves elegance by focusing on the essentials only. Its interior architecture fuses Transurban’s purpose, workplace needs and technology focus with the strong base build architecture.
