Cumulus Studio was awarded for its Devil’s Corner building in both steel and commercial architecture categories during the annual ceremony on Saturday.
Director Todd Henderson said the East Coast structure was built using repurposed shipping containers and designed to become an iconic location for tourists.
“All projects are specific to the site and this project was really about tourism,” he said.
“It was always about making the building an experience for visitors.”
Owned by Brown Brothers, Devil’s Corner is home to both the cellar door and look-out with views over the Freycinet Peninsula.
Mr Henderson said the firm had worked closely with both Brown Brothers and the construction team to create a completely unique building.
“It’s something that nobody has done before,” he said.
“We had a great relationship with the client and the builder Adam did a superb job of realising the project.”
Launceston firm Edwards + Simpson was also recognised on the night, winning the Public Architecture Award for the Bendigo Community Stadium in St Helens.
Break O’Day mayor Mick Tucker said it was great to see the stadium receive public recognition.
“Our community knows what an impressive and professional facility we have here in Break O’Day,” he said.
