Brisbane-based practice, BVN won The Emil Sodersten Award for Interior Architecture for their very own studio – BVN Brisbane Studio. Impressed with the work, the jury noted, “Visually and viscerally connected to place, the design caresses our senses and encourages a more nature-centred approach to life.” BVN also earned The Daryl Jackson Award for Educational Architecture for their work on the Brisbane South State Secondary College.
The new architect’s brief included alterations to the adjacent Millie Phillips Forecourt known as the Kiddush Court. I was not advised or consulted about these changes. In July this year, Lippman Partnership Principal Ed Lippmann discovered that a DA had been submitted and approved to make these changes.
