For the second consecutive year, Network Architectural was the proud sponsor of the Commercial Architecture (Large) category for Architecture & Design’s Sustainability Awards 2023.
The Sustainability Awards is Australia’s longest-running and most prestigious awards program dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating excellence in sustainable design and architecture. Over 250 projects, people and products were submitted to the 2023 Sustainability Awards, all of which exhibited such a high calibre and level of design that choosing the finalists was a difficult task, even for the highly experienced jury.
A big congratulations to Mirvac and Woods Bagot for their project, Heritage Lanes, 80 Ann, which took home the award for the Commercial Architecture (Large). A special mention to Woods Bagot with Hayball and ASPECT Studios who received a Highly Commended for their project Melbourne Connect.
