Houses magazine is excited to introduce the jury for the 2021 Houses Awards.
First up is Sydney architect Anita Panov, who established her practice Panov Scott Architects with partner Andrew Scott in 2012. The practice’s work is widely recognized locally and internationally, including winning several Houses Awards. Their work has been published a number of times in Houses.
Louise Wright hails from Melbourne and is director of Barraco and Wright Architects. She was a creative director of Australia’s exhibition at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale and is also involved in teaching and research with a particular interest in historical, cultural and ecological relationship between the built and unbuilt environment.
Phil Harris is a founding director of Troppo. In 2014, he and fellow director Adrian Welke were awarded the Australian Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal, the highest honour for individual architectural achievement. The practice has received more than 40 awards for residential architecture from the Institute.
Finally Sydney architect Will Fung cofounded Co-ap Architects with interior designer Tina Engelen in 2007. The practice has won a number of awards for its projects, including houses and apartments. The team particularly enjoy tackling tricky sites, complex briefs and negotiating strict planning controls.
These four jurors will join Katelin Butler, editorial director of Architecture Media (publisher of Houses and ArchitectureAu), who will act as jury chair. The jury will also be complemented by two advisors: Dominique Hes from the Melbourne School of Design, as sustainability advisor; and Helen Lardner, director of HLCD, as heritage advisor.
Entries to the Houses Awards have been extended until 12 March.
The 2021 Houses Awards is supported by Cult, Artedomus, Blum, Bosch, Brickworks, the Heritage Council of Victoria, Sussex, Taubmans, Latitude and the Australian Institute of Horticulture.
