The Kane Constructions New South Wales team is thrilled to announce the Australian Museum Project Discover has been awarded the highest honour at the 2021 NSW Architecture Awards.
Neeson Murcutt and Neille, in collaboration with Cox Architecture designed the flagship project, which was successful in winning multiple awards:
- NSW Architecture Medallion
- Interior Architecture | The John Verge Award
- Heritage | The Greenway Award
A truly impressive sweep by the architectural team, with the win in each category applauding the numerous design, access, and heritage features achieved for one of Sydney’s proudest buildings.
The jury commended the Australian Museum Project Discover for its “highly strategic design.”
“It prioritizes changes that will sustain the Museum into the long-term,” the jury noted. “It reveals and celebrates the Museum’s rich historic layering; creates legibility of movement – vertical and horizontal; enables universal public access throughout; and enhances the Museum’s engagement with William Street. The result is a new civic space for Sydney where visitors enjoy the architecture alongside the exhibitions.”
Congratulations to our project partners Neeson Murcutt and Neille, and Cox Architecture on their success.
