2022 National Commendation for Public Architecture

Jury citation

The tranquillity of the Kings Langley Cricket Club and Amenities is a delightful contribution to its community. Restrained, hardworking, humble and referencing its suburban Blacktown materiality and typology, the project makes no grand statements, but provides a beautifully crafted community building.

Purposefully sited on the oval and community interface edge, and resisting the elevated viewing platform, the composition of club facilities establishes equitable roots on the ground plane with its community. Together with the landscaping, it brings together a blended and integrated design that has been embraced by its community. The council is also to be congratulated on its purposeful vision to invest in a quality community facility.
