MPH Architects and CRAB Studio clinch top interior design awards at INSIDE FestivalAustralians are making a splash at this year’s World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards, and the same can be said for their counterparts MPH Architects and CRAB Studio at sister program, INSIDE – World Festival of Interiors. MPH Architects took home the Creative Re-Use category for their Adelaide project, Sustainable Industries Education Centre (SIEC) – Tonsley Tafe, an initiative by the South Australian government which saw five aging campuses consolidated into a single building. Ninety per cent of the existing steel structure was retained for the new facility, with exposed services and minimal internal applied finishes supporting the building’s role as a demonstrator learning tool for the students and wider community. An effective use of glazed partitioning both internally as well as on the facade showcases Tafe’s activities to the public, providing visual and physical connections to the existing steel structure, and ensuring daylighting opportunities are realised in all settings. The internal layout offers a variety of spaces for student learning, with two intersecting streets that separate public areas and the teaching and learning spaces.
