UQ Brisbane City in collaboration with BVN
The National Australia Bank is regarded as one of the most significant heritage buildings in Brisbane, designed by local architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley.
The adaptation of the heritage building presented an opportunity for The University of Queensland to establish an identity with both the external appearance and spatially rich interiors. A deeply respectful approach of minimal interference with the heritage fabric was balanced with the need for modern amenity and technology. This project expands the university’s presence in the CBD and fosters greater connection between students, staff, alumni and industry partners.
UQ Brisbane City was commended in the Heritage category.
Redlands Satellite Hospital in collaboration with Fulton Trotter Architects
The Redlands Satellite Hospital is a major healthcare facility in southeast Queensland, offering minor injuries and illness care, medical day, cancer care and outpatient services.
The guiding design principles considered the patient journey from street to clinic and connections between inside and outside. The design features include bringing external materials inside, corridors with views of the landscape, high-level windows, and courtyards encouraging daylight and view deep within the plan. This project is one of the facilities delivered under the state government’s Queensland Satellite Hospital program.
Redlands Satellite Hospital was commended in the Public Architecture category.
The winners of the 2024 Queensland Architecture Awards will be announced at a gala dinner on 21 June.
