Lightwave accepts a State Commendation from the Australian Institute of Architects

We were pleased to accept a State Commendation for Public Architecture from the Australian Institute of Architects for the Robina Community Performing Arts Centre.

This is what the awards body had to say about it:

The CPAC is a well planned and carefully considered building which achieves a great deal on an extremely modest budget.

The building presents a new public face for the school and is intended to be shared by both the school and the surrounding community.

The building is thoughtfully sited, neatly planned, thermally comfortable, and demonstrates great clarity of thought in its integration with the school and the topography.

Its’ address to the street also demonstrates skill. As well, the procurement process is to be applauded, and in today’s Building the Education Revolution environment, this project demonstrates the value of applying good design principles to an education project, rather than funds alone.

Due to careful planning the Robina Community Performing Arts Centre seamlessly integrated existing with new; and private spaces with public.
