ANZ Centre, designed by HASSELL and Lend Lease design, has been honoured with the prestigious Marion Mahony Award for Interior Architecture and a Commercial Architecture Award. Presented at the 2010 Victorian Architecture Awards Presentation Dinner on Friday 25 June, the awards recognise ANZ Centre as a “beautifully executed project.”

In announcing the awards, the judges described ANZ Centre as: “A finely drawn building that successfully embodies client aspirations, sustainability, adaptable workplace and perhaps the new face of Collins Street.” 

The judges also noted that: "ANZ Centre is the largest 6 star green commercial office building in Australia. Briefed, designed and constructed over a five-year period, this is an exemplary project demonstrating the highest levels of commitment and stamina from a multidisciplinary team of interior designers, industrial designers, graphic designers, architects and landscape architects."

“The project demonstrates a thorough understanding of the craft of design, from the importance of briefing, to conceptualisation, design development, service coordination and ultimately to site supervision. It is highly evident that every aspect of the project has been rigorously explored and understood."

“As the profession, and the quality of the built environment, struggles against the demands for abbreviated construction programs or partial design services, it is refreshing to be reminded of what can be achieved when there is an alignment of budget, an informed client, a committed builder and an experienced and imaginative design team."
