An unbuilt mosque has claimed two awards at the inaugural Casey Design Excellence Awards 2022.
The Narre Warren North Mosque, designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects and commissioned by Saarban Islamic Trust, won the Non-Residential Award and Sustainability and Innovation in Design categories at an event held at Bunjil Place last week.
The Design Excellence Awards night was a celebration of the City of Casey’s best urban design, planning, architecture and landscape projects.
A total of 11 projects were granted awards and commendations, drawn from a pool of 35 submissions across five categories.
Orana Park in Clyde North was successful in the Great Places category, Hallam Road Urban Design Interface Study won the Best Master Plan or Strategy, while R ARCHITECTURE’s Humble House won the Residential Development award.
The recognitions were awarded by an awards jury panel comprised of independent multi-disciplinary experts who provided expert guidance in the design review of major projects and master plans, the appointment of architectural and design consultancies, assisted with design competitions, and provided post implementation reviews of strategic projects and buildings, the City of Casey said.
The Casey Design Excellence Program aims to support council’s vision to build a community where, by design, our people and environment thrive.
The Casey Design Excellence Awards is one of the components of this program and sees a diverse range of design and development projects represented in the awards entries.
