We were thrilled to receive the Robert Foster Award for Light in Architecture at the 2021 ACT Chapter AIA Awards for Jacka Crescent Townhouses.
Jury citation:
“As the building forms stretch and hinge up the steep topography, carefully placed fenestrations capture and track the changing daylight and bathe the interior spaces with a warm glow. The sophistication and management of natural light falling upon all surfaces within these residences, demonstrates skill and thoughtfulness. The materials and textures each absorb and reflect the light with variation. Through the circulation spine, the light dances up and through the timber stair treads, to the focus and intensity of volume and quality of light provided by the high windows in the bathrooms.
This award recognises excellence in the use of light, whether artificial, natural or a combination of both, and the consideration of light as a part of the whole project. All projects entered in the main Awards program will be considered for this prize by the jury.”
