Caboolture Hub, a centre for local culture, art, history, learning and social interaction, by Peddle Thorp + James Cubitt Architects received the F.D.F. Stanley Award for Public Architecture.
Housing over 5000 square metres of built floor space comprising a modern library, regional art gallery, learning centre and cafe alongside the Caboolture Town Square, the ‘building creatively earns its title ‘hub’,’ the jury noted.
The interior space maximises the use of natural light achieved through large windows and double storey volumes, manipulating the scale of the building to suit the function of the spaces inside.
‘The planning is legible yet fluid, the building connects multiply to the city, and the spaces facilitate both defined and adaptive uses.’
In total 216 projects were entered in this year’s awards program from across the state and tonight 34 state prizes and commendations were awarded. Winners of the named awards and state awards will now progress to the National Architecture Awards to be held in Perth on November 1. Other key award winners included:
