Architecture award

Allan Border Oval Pavilion has won a prestigious international Architecture MasterPrize for Recreational Architecture, one of six projects awarded globally in the category this year. 

The Architecture MasterPrize honours designs in the disciplines of architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture with the goal of advancing the appreciation of architecture worldwide. 

Awards are judged by a panel of leading industry professionals in the fields of architecture, interior design, art, journalism, architectural photography, and education. 

The pavilion’s accolade recognised the way the building addresses both the traditional built context and the needs of a contemporary sporting venue, and highlighted how parts of the demolished pavilion were reused, such as recycled rubble in the concrete mix and formwork utilising the roof timbers. 

The lead architect was Tomek Archer of Archer Office.

The pavilion opened in May this year.
