For twelve years Architecture & Design and Infolink have been championing Australia’s most sustainable work through its annual Sustainability Awards. Bringing in a high calibre of design, this year’s awards continue the message of environmental commitment to sustainable design.

The gala ceremony took place on Thursday 11 October, with Environ Studio’s Tone Wheeler taking up the role of master of ceremonies. The shortlist was made up of a truly astonishing range of examples of how design can be not only sustainable, but beautiful too.

If you missed the 2018 event or need a catch up on the Sustainability Awards winners – you can see them here!

The night was a roaring success and a reminder of how important thoughtful and considered sustainable design is in building and city planning. We thank our sponsors and all who attended the gala event and can’t wait for the next Sustainability Awards.
