Kaunitz Yeung Architecture has been announced as one of only 15 winning projects at the World Architecture Awards for its Munipi Arts Centre project on Melville Island in the Tiwi Islands, 80km north of Darwin, Australia.
The project was recognised along with some of the world’s most recognised architects and is a continuation of the firm’s work in delivering high quality architecture that respects people, place, culture and the environment. It was delivered within a tight budget of AUD $800K, which considering its remote location required restraint and forethought.
Director David Kaunitz says, “We believe best practice architecture should be available to all Australians and we are thrilled these projects have been recognised in such a prestigious, international environment.
