Adelaide Festival Pavilion - The Summerhouse awarded Best Installation Design | 2022 Eat Drink Design Awards

Jury citation:
“The elegance of The Summerhouse pavilion, combining versatility with equal-parts simplicity and sophistication, has resulted in a worthy winner. Like the venerable Spiegeltent before it, The Summerhouse can come and go with the festival it celebrates, creating a memorable setting for Adelaide Festival’s performances. In practical terms, the planning and resolution of services and movement of patrons and staff combine to keep back-of-house tucked neatly away and all action on the performances. There is a well-organized space for a sickle-shaped bar and an expansive central performance arena formed by the overlap of smaller and larger circles in plan: an elegant solution. Beyond the clever response to planning challenges, the pavilion is visually striking. It creates an identity and beacon for the festival in a way that is highly original. A sense of drama and ephemerality combine with projection and lighting to render the pavilion a canvas that can be packed away and brought out again with a new lease of life for each festival season.”

Thank you for the opportunity to work on this brilliant project!

Rouse Hill Childcare | Commendation | Educational Architecture | 2022 NSW Chapter AIA Awards Jury citation:

“Rouse Hill Childcare Centre is a spatial celebration of landscape, material, and colour. CO-AP are commended on their careful articulation of internal and external play spaces including the utilisation of a generous unconditioned veranda space which wraps the internal playrooms and utilises the thermal mass of an abundant planted roof over and playful circular skylights placed throughout.

The simple construction methodology of tilt up concrete and steel framing is layered with a considered textural material palette of internal and external finishes, providing joy to internal spaces and contrast to the thriving landscape beyond.”
