Minifie Nixon Architects
Healesville, VIC Day-to-day work at the new Minifie Nixon-designed Australian Wildlife Health Centre is deadly serious but also entertaining and informative: think somewhere between ER and the National Geographic channel.The AWHC houses a complex range of veterinary services: emergency ward, hospital operating theatres, laboratory, post-mortem zones, care and recovery, rehabilitation, and safe areas for the release of recovered wildlife. |

Prior & Cheney Architects
Beaconsfield, Victoria As flocks of young couples and new families flood into Victoria’s Cardinia Shire, the Municipality has been feverishly expanding its facilities to accommodate them and to keep pace with what is now the region’s fastest growing housing development. Indeed, it was not just architectural excellence and innovation that was needed for the new Beaconsfield Community Complex. It was energy. |

DesignInc Tasmania
Glenorchy, Hobart
Over four years ago Dominic College lost its 1950s Chapel through arson. For Elvio Brianese, a former student of the coeducational Catholic school in Glenorchy, northern Hobart, rebuilding the Chapel was a project of passion. Brianese is a Director of DesignInc Tasmania, and he has a great deal of experience in local and international educational projects. He focussed squarely on imparting some modernity, some living symbolism, to the structure.

Hassell
Parramatta, Sydney
Working to foster an environment conducive to learning is an architectural endeavour as much as it is a pedagogical one. In this sense, Hassell’s design for Building EA of the University of Western Sydney’s Parramatta Campus – a building that has itself learnt the lessons of its educational context – is a resounding success.

Peter Elliott Architecture + Urban Design
South Yarra, Melbourne
Melbourne Grammar School's South Yarra campus is an extraordinary collection of nineteenth century and mid-twentieth century structures. It owns in excess of 30 individually-listed heritage items, from buildings and ovals to trees and fences and various sundry structures; and between these points on the canvas there's very little room to move.

Anthony Styant-Browne Architect
Clayton, Victoria
Inspired by the primordial simplicity of Laugier’s Hut and the sybaritic loafing of Manet’s Le Dejeuner sur L’herbe, the communal pavilion for the 120 students in residence at Monash University’s Clayton Campus is a recreational facility for the students to unwind, engage in communal activities and internalise the soothing buzz of the natural world.

Gregory Burgess Architects
Strathmore, Victoria
Burgess’ previous projects, despite often being built in modest circumstances, held a kernel of utopian intention. At the turn of the millenium, a commission from the Victorian State Government and an outer-suburban high school gave Burgess and his team the chance to take on that great twentieth century utopia: outer space.

Phillips Pilkington Architects Pty Ltd
South Australia The multi-purpose hall for South Australia’s prestigious Wilderness School reflects the school’s subtle and elegant ambience; its clean and crisp lines and metallic sheen delicately complement the warm and full-bodied interior, where the hopes and spirit of the school’s young women reside and resonate - in assemblies, theatrical productions, musical recitals and sports matches.
