Two HASSELL projects have been recognised in the Australian Institute of Architects National Architecture Awards, the most prestigious annual architecture awards program in Australia.

VS1/SA Water Headquarters, Adelaide, received the National Award for Sustainable Architecture. The jury observed, “VS1/SA Water is the first building in South Australia to achieve a GBCA 6 Star Green Star design rating, delivered at competitive market rental. It sets a new benchmark in ESD, promoting best practice for a healthy office environment, with reduced energy usage, waste, and harmful emissions.”

The multi-award winning HASSELL Brisbane Studio won a National Commendation for Commercial Architecture. This award capitalises on the two already received in the Queensland State and Brisbane Regional awards programs of the AIA.

VS1/SA Water has also been recognised in the BPN Sustainability Awards, which promote sustainable projects that push the boundaries of innovation, winning the Large Commercial category and highly commended in the Office Fitout category.
