Jansen Che wins 2019 Red Dot Design Award
“The Red Dot is the award for high design quality. The international jury only awards this sought-after seal of quality to works that set themselves apart significantly from comparable works thanks to their excellent design.”
Jansen Che, one of JPW’s registered architects, recently received the Red Dot Design Award at the 2019 Red Dot Concept Design award ceremony, held in Singapore.
Jansen was awarded for his design of a minimalist watch, Adesse. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. It reveals just enough to tell the time, removing all distractions, reminding the wearer to enjoy the present. His design is currently on display at the Red Dot design museum in Singapore.

“Reflection” Memorial Martin Place – 2018 NSW Architecture Awards
“Reflection” Memorial Martin Place by Johnson Pilton Walker and Jess Dare, has received a City of Sydney Lord Mayor’s Commendation in the 2018 NSW Architecture Awards.
The concept for the permanent memorial is based upon creating a subtle reflective and symbolic memory of the floral tribute laid by thousands of people following the December 2014 Martin Place siege. This floral tribute, an unexpected, spontaneous and respectful public and private response encapsulated so simply and eloquently all the complex layers of thought and emotion, public and private, related to this tragic event. The work comprises 210 hand crafted brass powder coated flowers, 12 varieties,19 colours, each flower unique, housed in a mirrored stainless-steel cube inserted flush with the granite pavement of Martin Place arranged in a random starburst pattern creating a visual field of flowers below the pavement. The design, the result of a limited competition, was developed with close consultation and ongoing involvement of the families of the victims, the Department of Premier and Cabinet, Infrastructure NSW, Government Architect and the City of Sydney.

Flanders Fields Memorial Garden
The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden, within the Australian War Memorial’s Western Precinct, was dedicated on 4 April 2017. A ring of Portland Stone, inscribed with overlapping stanzas of John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields”, encourages movement and reflection when experiencing the Memorial Garden.
Soil from Flanders, in which many soldiers found their resting place, has been combined with soils specially collected from significant sites around Australia. It is within this soil that poppies will continue to grow.
