The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Victoria Awards were held at the Malthouse on Friday 6 November.

The Harbour Family and Children’s Centre, in collaboration with Children's Landscapes Australia, received an Award for Design in Landscape Architecture. The jury observed, ‘This project is both well designed and beautifully executed’ which is ‘particularly impressive given the site location, on a rooftop.’  The jury was impressed by the attention to detail clearly demonstrated in the carefully considered use of plant species and provision of shade.

Cassandra Chilton, a HASSELL Senior Associate, and Tanya Court were awarded a Special Commendation for Art in the Landscape for 'helmet'. Integrated into the grounds of the Heide Museum of Modern Art, 'helmet' forms a dynamic visual gateway between Melbourne’s northern and eastern suburbs serving as art and landscape. Drawing on Sidney Nolan’s first iconic Kelly series, painted at Heide, Cassandra and Tanya have created a local icon out of a national icon. For the full jury citation click here.
