Swan Lake Park (Suzhou, China) was selected as the winner of the International Category in the AILA 2019 National Landscape Architecture Awards.

“Swan Lake Park in Wuzhong exemplifies the potential for landscape architecture to provide recreational, ecological and social benefits in places of rapid urbanization.

Across twenty four hectares, the park combines experiential spaces nested within circulation connections and large-scale sustainability initiatives.

The collaboration of the design team is evident in the high quality of the design and its execution. The project carefully crafts a huge variety of precincts and connections as well as green infrastructure that is critical to the growing city.”
Jury Citation

The transformation of Parramatta Square reached a major milestone with the “topping out” of one of the four towers now under construction in the precinct. Property NSW is the anchor tenant in the JPW designed building which will provide more than 65,000 square metres of A Grade office space over 40 storeys.

Completion is scheduled for late 2019, with progressive occupation by various government departments.

The Anzac Memorial Centenary Project was awarded the Award for Excellence in the NSW Concrete Institute of Australia Awards, Commercial Buildings Category.

Victoria Park is one of inner Sydney’s most important and historic parks.

The primary objective of the City of Sydney’s Victoria Park Improvement Project was to upgrade the amenity of the park by identifying a range of improvements that respond to contemporary community needs yet complement the existing and historic character of the place.

Reopened in early 2018, the improvements include upgrades to the path network, new activity nodes with netball and Ping-Pong areas, a new connection to the University of Sydney, new BBQ and seating areas and modifications to the lake to improve water quality and expand urban habitats.

New bio-retention and reed bed systems within Lake Northam, developed in conjunction with Alluvium and Warren Smith & Partners, treat stormwater entering the lake from the surrounding catchment, to greatly improve water quality.

Drawn from the Rijksmuseum, the renowned national collection of the Netherlands, this major exhibition designed by Richard Johnson and JPW, includes a rare painting by Johannes Vermeer and a room dedicated to one of the greatest minds in the history of art, Rembrandt van Rijn.

The American Architecture Prize honours designs in the disciplines of architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture with the goal of advancing the appreciation of architecture worldwide.

Barangaroo Reserve was selected as the 2017 Winner in the landscape architecture category, from a field of more than a thousand entries from 68 countries across the three disciplines.

Jury Citation:

Named for an influential Aboriginal woman of colonial Sydney, Barangaroo is a globally-significant, 22-hectare waterfront renewal project that redefines Sydney Harbour and its Central Business District.

Barangaroo Reserve was the first phase in the 3-district precinct to open. The project re-creates “Millers Point” headland in its original location by transforming a concrete container port into a naturalistic park with over 75,000 plantings native to the Sydney region.

Guided by historical maps and paintings, the design of the headland includes a foreshore of 10,000 sandstone blocks excavated directly from the site. Walking and bicycle pathways separated by the “1836 Wall” symbolically mark the original precolonial shoreline.

Barangaroo Reserve is carbon-neutral, water-positive, and committed to creating zero waste. Selected as a Clinton Global Initiative, One Planet Living, and C40 Climate Positive development, the project recycled all existing materials onsite to form the headland. Hidden beneath the artificial headland, the “Cutaway” is a massive void formed through the sandstone excavation operations to host art exhibits, performances, and a future Aboriginal Cultural Center.

Barangaroo Reserve transforms a huge expanse of empty concrete into humane, usable space, marking the transformation of an industrialized site into a modern reinvention of its more sustainable past.

5 Martin Place, by JPW and TKD Architects in collaboration, has won the 2017 RLB NSW Development of the Year Award.

“The considered restoration and transformation of 5 Martin Place has delivered one of the most inspired and innovative commercial workspaces in Australia. The building’s 5 Star Green Star rating demonstrates how older buildings may be upgraded to meet new sustainability standards.”

Matthew Harris
Managing Director of RLB in NSW

Amanda Chadwick, City of Parramatta Administrator
