Award: Sustainability Advancement
Tonkin Zulaikha Greer for Campbell House
Campbell House is the adaptive reuse of a 1890’s early Federation house set within a Heritage Conservation area. The integrated design approach of architecture-heritage-interior stitched together unifies the contemporary office use and the original building.
Jury Citation
This year’s Sustainability Advancement award recipient truly has sustainability embedded in every aspect, from the larger site planning through to the details. The jury was particularly impressed with how Campbell House economised and adapted a heritage building within a contemporary context, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Worth noting is the way the insertion allows natural light to permeate all the spaces and how the operable building management system is managed through smart technology. Bold design features, such as the moveable roof and striking atrium, are all directly attributable to the project’s sustainability strategy. The exciting thing about this project is that it really does have sustainability at its core and that it also has universal appeal, with one jury member imagining it would appeal to a whole range of different users.
