Commercial Category Winner
Monash University Learning and Teaching Building (LTB)
Designed by: Amanda Moore, John Wardle Architects
Builder: Multiplex
Joiner: JFK Interiors Australia
Fabricator: Schiavello
Corian® Colours: Deep Cloud, Silver Grey
Photography: Peter Bennetts, Sharon Crabb, Trevor Mein
The Learning & Teaching Building (LTB) is a major facility for Monash University’s Clayton Campus. The LTB is a 4-storey, multi-faculty teaching building for undergraduate and post-graduate students. Staff offices will accommodate the Faculty of Education and the Office of the Vice Provost (Learning and Teaching). Corian® was chosen for the joinery units within the large format teaching spaces for its long term quality and durability. The 3-dimensional curved form of the map tables was achieved by curving segmented ‘petals’ of Corian® and then seamlessly welding the pieces together. The overall size of the map tables required them to be delivered to site in pieces and then joined and welded on site. The Corian® used on the presentation points within the large format teaching spaces provides a high quality and durable solution for these spaces now and into the future.
Residential Category Winner
Dinsdale Residence
Designed by: Matyas Architects
Fabricator: Cook and Nation Pty Ltd.
Corian® Colours: Rain Cloud
Photography: VSTYLE Photography
Corian® brings refined organic, aesthetic and bespoke luxury to this Dinsdale Residence. Matyas Architects was asked to create something ‘organically aesthetic’ for this beautiful residence. The owners were seeking something natural in appearance without the maintenance of stone. Corian® fulfilled the brief as it was easily formed, allowing for the desired curves of the island bench. Rain Cloud provides elegance for a strong contextual relationship.
Residential Category Winner
Toorak Residence
Designed by: Nick Lukas, Architecton
Builder: VCON
Joiner: VCON
Corian® Colours: Glacier White
Photography: Architecton
Architecton has designed a new residence in Melbourne where the form and facades are responsive to the site’s surrounding context. The design responds and takes advantage of the north aspect of the site, in order to create an integrated and exciting relationship between the indoor and outdoor living spaces. This seamless connection is further exemplified through the clever use of a Glacier White Corian® benchtop. The interior remains sensitive to the existing natural character of the surrounding area accentuated with the durability, hygienic properties and thermoforming capabilities of Corian® custom formed integrated vanity basins and surfaces.
