Powerhouse Castle Hill Wins Prestigious National Architecture Award
Powerhouse Castle Hill was awarded the Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Architecture last night, Thursday 7 November at the 2024 National Architecture Awards. Designed by Sydney-based Lahznimmo Architects, built by Australian construction company Taylor and delivered in partnership with Create NSW, Powerhouse Castle Hill is the new state-of-the-art facility for the Powerhouse Collection which opened in March 2024.
Presented by the Australian Institute of Architects, the prestigious public architecture award recognises Powerhouse Castle Hill as ‘an exemplar of architecture as an interface between the public and research, preservation and curation’.
The Jury citation also described the building as one which ‘invites curiosity – placing architecture as a vehicle for experience, both fascinating and cerebral’.
