Wilson Architects were this year crowned the winners in the Commercial under 1000sqm category for their own studio/office in Brisbane. An extraordinary transformation of two neighbouring residences into an office, it impressed the jury with how delicately the merging and retention of these two buildings has been handled. While preserving the history of the buildings, Wilson Architects has turned this highly complex collection of interior volumes into a coherent, and very beautiful, whole.
“This project is as much about interior design as it is interior architecture – it’s obviously all about the use of materiality, honesty, integrity and clarity within a design, as well as really clever space planning.” – 2011 juror, Jeff Copolov
