We are very excited to see our Long Courtyard House shortlisted for the 2014 Houses Awards. The project has been included in Alterations and Additions Under 200m².

The Houses Awards celebrates Australia’s best residential projects in eight categories. Now in its fourth year, the program has become one of the country’s most popular and widely recognized of its kind, with 261 houses submitted in 2014 – a new record for entries.

We are thrilled to announce that Scale’s Seaforth Kitchen Garden has been shortlisted for the NSW Architecture Awards. The project has been selected from a highly competitive field in the Small Project Architecture category. Winners of the awards will be announced in late June.

Our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden fitout is now complete! Following its official opening, overseen by Stephanie in late February, Seaforth Kitchen Garden has become a place where students can cook and prepare their freshly grown produce.

Congratulations to Jennifer McMaster from Scale Architecture, who was awarded the MADE Scholarship. MADE by the Opera House has been established to honour the 40th anniversary of Jorn Utzon’s master work. As part of the scholarship, Jennifer travelled to Denmark during January and February of 2014. A blog documenting her experience can be seen here.

With drinks in hand, you can discuss design ideas, get advice on an upcoming project and get to know some of our city’s most exciting emerging architects. Part speed-dating, part designer drinks, it promises to be a whole lot of fun.

Scale was recently invited to complete a submission for Fugitive Structures, an annual competition run by the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation. Our scheme, titled field void, carves a geometric spiral out of a dense field of transparent tubes. Inside this field, one discovers a captured circular void. This is a room with no ceiling, only sky.

The transparent tubes are hung from a black ceiling. The underside of the tubes read as a single surface. Variable rod lengths create an ‘inverse topography’. Determined by a digitally modelled surface, the rods are computer cut, coded and marked, allowing their precise location in space.

Scale Architecture has received a High Commendation for their entry to the R1 Barangaroo competition. The jury recognised the “delightful proposal” from Scale and recommended that the firm be offered an opportunity to work on public realm elements at Barangaroo. Scale was selected to participate in the invited competition from a shortlist of six emerging architecture firms. We extend our congratulations to the winning firm, Collins and Turner.

Congratulations to Nathan Etherington from Scale Architecture, who has been awarded the inaugural David Lindner Prize at the 2013 NSW Architecture Awards. Nathan’s submission, entitled “Do Not Disturb: Toxic Urbanism and the Alexandra Canal,” will examine the urban complexities surrounding the Alexandra Canal. The jury citation for the award can be viewed here.

As part of the Sydney Architecture Festival, Nathan will be delivering a talk this Friday night at Tusculum. Titled ‘Do Not Disturb: Toxic Urbanism and the Alexandra Canal,’ he will discuss his recent research into this strategic site. An exhibition of work by recent Masters of Architecture graduates will accompany the talk.
