Australian Architecture : Buildings
Major Contemporary Architectural Developments
Architecture in AustraliaThis page contains a selection of major Australian building designs, with links to individual project pages. We've selected what we feel are the key Australian Buildings, but additions are always welcome.We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Australia. The focus is on contemporary Australian buildings but information on traditional architecture is also welcome. Australian Architecture : A-C (this page) Australian Building Developments : D-L Australian Architecture Designs : M-R Australian Building Designs : S-Z Australian Buildings - by cityAdelaide Buildings Australian Building NewsArchitecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically:The Infinity Centre, Melbourne, Victoria Design: McBride Charles Ryan  photo : John Gollings The Infinity Centre Australia - 22 Apr 2013 The idea of infinite learning became the mantra. Radiating out from the library, along the length of the form, are specialist precincts and a variety of learning spaces. Each wing of the building then returns to link up, forming cloisters and the resulting plan of an infinity symbol. Being structured around two protected courtyards has enhanced the learning space’s access to light, ventilation and view. Darling Harbour Redevelopment - Masterplan + ICC Hotels, Sydney, NSW Design: OMA  image : OMA Darling Harbour Redevelopment - 13 Dec 2012 The New South Wales Government announced today that Destination Sydney, consisting of Lend Lease, HOSTPLUS, Capella Capital, AEG Ogden and Spotless, is the preferred consortium for Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct (SICEEP) redevelopment. OMA is the master plan designer within the consortium, and is also the conceptual architect of the ICC Hotels within the master plan. Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, UTS, Sydney, NSW Design: Gehry Partners LLP with architect Daryl Jackson Robin Dyke (Australia) East façade, view across Ultimo Pedestrian Network, model scale: 1-to-100  image : Gehry Partners, LLP Dr Chau Chak Wing Building Sydney - 2 Dec 2012 Lend Lease, one of Australia's largest contractors, has been appointed by UTS to build the Frank Gehry-designed Dr Chau Chak Wing Building aka 'Gehry's Tree house'. To open in mid-2014 at a total development cost of $180 million, the building will house the UTS Business School. The UTS building will be 12 storeys high. Swanston Academic Building, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Lyons  image : John Gollings Swanston Academic Building - 26 Nov 2012 This new building, called the Swanston Academic Building, is an idea about building a vertical campus and drawing the diversity of the city deeply in to the design conception. As student space is not available like a green campus, the project proposes a vertical ‘stack’ of informal ‘open’ student spaces, each connected to a central circulation system of escalators and stairs. Dandenong Government Services Offices, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Design: HASSELL  photograph : Peter Bennetts Dandenong GSO - 5 Oct 2012 The Government Services Offices development is one of the key projects of the Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative, a major urban renewal project being led by Places Victoria and the Victorian State Government. Developed and built by Grocon, the challenge of this landmark development was to create a high standard of urban design and quality workplace in this outer-suburban region, and to assist in the rebirth of the precinct as a major mixed-use activity centre. Brisbane Street Additions, Perth, Western Australia Design: rad architecture  photo : Andrew Pritchard Photography Brisbane Street Additions - 15 Aug 2012 Conceived as a riposte to the Local Authority’s requirement that we superficially 'decorate' a large expanse of wall on the western boundary, rad architecture’s concept for the Brisbane Street Additions was drawn from the lifestyle of our clients. Our design response was to “redefine the edge” to create a boundary on the move, in tension and compression, not necessarily straight and challenging the traditions of structure and container. Cloud House, North Fitzroy, Melbourne Architect: McBride Charles Ryan  photo : John Gollings Cloud House - 23 Jul 2012 The Cloud House is an addition and renovation to a double-fronted Edwardian house in Fitzroy North. Over the course of close to a century, this house has received several additions and modifications. McBride Charles Ryan's work for the house is designed in three parts. This allows for a sequence of distinct and unexpected episodes, with glimpses previewing oncoming spaces and experiences as you move through the home. Beaumaris Dental, Victoria Demaine Partnership  image : Peter Clarke Photography Beaumaris Dental - 19 Apr 2012 This project began when two dentists, who are also father and son, decided that they needed a new building for their growing dental practice - a building that would reflect the quality of their dentistry and modern equipment and a building that would serve their business well into the future. Monash Student Housing BVN Architecture  image : John Gollings Monash Student Housing - 21 Mar 2012 A nominee in this year’s Institute of Architects Awards that will be presented to the jury next Saturday 24 March is the Monash Student Housing that sets a new standard of student housing. BVN Principal, Ninotschka Titchkosky will explain to the jury how the new housing at Monash responds to the need for higher end facilities for students. State Theatre Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia Kerry Hill Architects  photo © Adrian Lambert - Acorn Photo Agency State Theatre Western Australia - added Feb 2012 The building volumes are clearly articulated on the site. The theatres are stacked vertically and located centrally, freeing up space on the site for a large courtyard: an urban oasis and outdoor event space. Theatre foyers are located on the perimeter of the site: low transparent volumes that reinstate the urban scale of the surrounding streets and celebrate the activity within. Multiple entries create a permeable, welcoming venue, knitted into the urban fabric.
