Arkhefield is proud to receive two commendations at the 2020 AIA Queensland Architecture Awards night for Camp Hill Marketplace and Elizabeth Arcade.
Camp Hill Marketplace
AIA QLD Architecture Awards
Commendation for Commercial Architecture
Juries Comments
" Camp Hill Marketplace offers an alternate retail typology in prioritising generosity of public space and pedestrian movement. The precinct actively seeks to slow visitors down and invites the public to linger.
By challenging the notion of high yield and high turn over, the precinct instead places value on the quality of spaces to increase the quality of the offering."
Elizabeth Arcade
AIA QLD Architecture Awards
Commendation for Urban Design
Juries Comments
" The old Elizabeth Arcade was hard to love. Its level changes and artificial lighting delivered little joy. This project has thoroughly reconstructed the Arcade and substantially improved the urban offering whilst accommodating the complexity of two student accommodation towers above. The introduction of daylight, landscape and a diverse materials create a richness through the depth of the site. Provision for future linkages means this project has the opportunity to assist in creating a wider network of laneways. Integrated considerations of food and beverage and student users are geared towards fostering constant day time and night time activity."
