The WA Museum Boola Bardip designed by Hassell and OMA has taken out the highest honour at the 2021 WA Architecture Awards.
“The new museum is a bold and engaging collection of volumes that incorporate previously underutilized heritage buildings with the new building programme in an inventive and often playful way,” said the jury.
The project impressed the jury across a number of categories, winning the John Septimus Roe Award for Urban Design, the Jeffrey Howlett Award for Public Architecture, commendation in the Heritage Architecture and Bluescope Colorbond Steel Architecture categories as well as the George Temple Poole Award.
“The 2021 WA Architecture Awards demonstrate how architecture helps to build communities and foster our sense of place within the built environment,’ said WA chapter president, Peter Hobbs.
“The rejuvenation of buildings and places in both metropolitan and regional areas has created memorable experiences which honours our rich history – with WA Museum Boola Bardip an exemplar of carefully-concepted design making an enormous contribution to the state.”
Winners of awards and named awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in November.
