Several of our Australian projects are featured in the shortlist for the 2025 National Architecture Awards, which celebrate the best in architectural design across the country.
In the Heritage category, Hale Memorial Hall and Stow Precinct by KHA is nominated for its sensitive enhancements to one of Australia’s first brutalist buildings. The landscape response restructures the campus precinct through the creation of new open spaces that enrich student life, strengthen pedestrian connectivity, and transform a former car park into a biodiverse, welcoming landscape that redefines the precinct’s function and identity.

Kangaroo Point Bridge

And Kangaroo Point Bridge in Brisbane (Architecture and design by Blight Rayner Architecture with Dissing+Weitling; concept and reference design by Brisbane City Council with Arup and Cox Architecture) has been shortlisted in the Urban Design category.


ASPECT helped to create the series of new plazas that anchor the bridge, revitalise existing public spaces and celebrate the history of Traditional Owners. This follows a clean sweep of honours for the new bridge, including Queensland’s highest honours in landscape architecture, urban design and architecture.
