At the 27th Annual International Lighting Design Awards held in Las Vegas, USA, on 13 May, the HASSELL designed Epping to Chatswood Rail Link received an Award of Merit. It was one of only two Australian projects to win an award among the 23 winning projects from 12 countries.

Lighting designers PointOfView accepted the award on behalf of the team. “The strength of architecture and the collaborative spirit through design development were essential ingredients to the success of the project,” noted David Becker, Director, PointOfView.

Of the project, the judges observed: “Looking at the architecture alone, one is captivated by the use of materials and the overall elegance of the design. On closer examination, you start to see that the lighting solutions are quite clever in the way they distribute light throughout the space.” To view the project click here
