DARLEY HOUSE by ARENT & PYKE
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE CATEGORY

This traditional terrace is transformed into a jewellery box of delights that makes the heart sing with an overarching classic and timeless elegance. Clever replanning has also been delivered in spades, in both the kitchen and back half of the upper floor, where Arent & Pyke has created a gracious main bedroom and bathroom.

SPOTTED GUM HOUSE by ALEXANDER & CO.
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE CATEGORY

Spotted Gum house is an alteration and addition to an interwar bungalow. While respecting the suburban landscape and Heritage conservation area within Artarmon, Alexander & Co. restored the street-facing façade while exploring a hidden, modern sculptural annexe at the rear, transforming this three-bedroom home into a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture.

QUEENS PARK HOUSE ARENT & PYKE with VITALE DESIGN
RESIDENTIAL SINGLE CATEGORY

Sensitive to its century-old history, this back-to-shell renovation and extension of a Federation bungalow delights in rich materiality and delivers a relaxed contemporary ambience for a family of four. The seamless integration of old and new built elements contributes to the timeless quality of Heritage features combined with contemporary liveliness.

ALEXANDER HOUSE by ALEXANDER & CO.
SUSTAINABILITY WORKPLACE UNDER 1000SQM CATEGORY

Alexander House is the Sydney home of Alexander & Co. where the team works and meets with clients. It is an architectural showcase aiming to challenge preconceptions of home, land, family and work, and is a prototype for exploring sustainability, carbon sequestration and environmental innovation.

LANG ROAD by ALEXANDRA KIDD DESIGN
RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR CURATION CATEGORY

Briefed to capture the spirit of India and house treasures from faraway lands, this Sydney Federation home was transformed into an exuberant space celebrating inventive colour, fabric combinations, clever antique finds and smart artworks. Having recently undergone an extensive renovation, the homeowners engaged Alexandra Kidd Design to complete the interior decoration and furnishings.

HARBORD HOTEL by ALEXANDER & CO.
HOSPITALITY CATEGORY

Harbord Hotel draws influence from its rich, working-class history and Australian surf culture. Celebrating its unique, unpretentious Sydney community, this transformed pre-war pavilion now includes a ground floor front bar, Balsa restaurant, kitchen facilities, external courtyards and a refurbished original staircase to the first-floor functions/events zone with a built-out balcony.

GLORIETTA BAR AND RESTAURANT

EDITORIAL STYLING, DESIGN AWARDS, BLOG FEATURE, INTERIOR STYLING, STUDIO CD DESIGNClaire Delmar

Inspired by the client’s love of all things Italian, Glorietta is a bar and 220-seat restaurant designed to shape a corporate precinct in North Sydney into a lively eating, dining and entertainment destination. Glorietta involved the challenging transformation of a stark, voluminous, double-height glass box within a new landmark tower, into an intimate restaurant.

THE INNOVATIVE TRANSFORMATION OF THIS SPACE FROM AN AMORPHOUS COMMERCIAL VENUE INTO AN INTIMATE RESTAURANT NOW APPEALS TO AFTERNOON SPRITZ SEEKERS, LATE-NIGHT FINE DINERS AS WELL AS THE CASUAL PIZZA CROWD.

glorietta.jpg

As the podium tenant, Glorietta presented various key constraints. A cold and commercial character, including an open ceiling to allow for the base build utilities to remain effective and compliant. These obstacles made our team work hard to craft a sense of identity, intimacy and warmth.

Firstly, the space was deconstructed into separate zones. This was achieved by applying a range of floor treatments to contain each space, including polished concrete around the bar and northern dining area to timber boards in the central dining space and concrete slabs surrounding the kitchen. The large scale, volume, view and elevated floor area became advantages to creating theatre and spatial uniqueness.

Alexander&Co_Glorietta_12022087624.jpg

The clever use of five different seating options further establishes each zone, from the high timber tables and stools at the bar, a communal table and seating to the olive-green leather banquette, rust-red-toned tables and bentwood chairs. A pizza oven, open kitchen, dining counter and bar ribbon the entry; adding atmosphere and interest, while the bar was positioned for street visibility and to contain footprint and scale.

An earthy and organic and warm palette was achieved via the careful selection of contemporary, yet durable, furnishings and fittings. Tonally gentle design elements soften the space from recycled timber, olive and apricot leathers and tiling, rust-red tables, brass, creams and wheat-coloured linen curtains which encircle the venue. A vaulted rattan ceiling ‘cloudscape’ softens the impact of the silver panelled ceiling.
