An “exemplary” work of public architecture has taken out the highest honour at the 2021 Northern Territory Architecture Awards, announced on 25 June.
George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens visitor and Event Centre by Hully Liveris Design Company was lauded by the jury as a building that “embodies the notion of Genius Loci embracing its spirit of place both within the Botanic Gardens and within the broader context of Darwin.”
The building was awarded Tracy Memorial Award as well as the Reverend John Fynn Award for Public Architecture.
“The George Darwin Botanic Gardens Visitor and Event Centre is a legacy building providing a benchmark for future public buildings in the Northern Territory and in particular Darwin and is a most worthy recipient of the Tracy Memorial Award,” said the jury.
The winners of awards and named awards will progress to the National Architecture Awards in November.
