St Kilda Pier Wins Top Architecture Award

The St Kilda pier redesign just won top honors at the Victorian architecture awards, snagging the state’s most outstanding project title after a fierce competition. Worth fifty-three million dollars and designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects alongside Site Office Landscape Architecture and AW Maritime, the project also claimed the Dimity Reed Melbourne prize and the Joseph Reed award for urban design. Judges praised its genius at serving everyone — tourists, locals, ferry-goers, fishermen, and even the penguin colony — blending playful civic design with practical function. The awards spotlighted a broader trend: spaces that prioritize human connection, adaptability, and sustainability — from the repurposed Sunbury Lunatic Asylum into an arts hub to a Cremorne office building redefining commercial design. Notably, residential winners favored eco-conscious renovations over new builds, signaling a thoughtful, future-focused shift in regional architecture.
