k20 Architecture is proud to receive this Bronze Award from World Architecture News for Eternity Life in the category of “Best Overall Sustainable Architecture Project”. This award recognises the hard work and dedication of the entire team involved in developing and building this amazing project in Footscray, Victoria.
Eternity Life is a socially inclusive building that is 71% carbon neutral made from Simple Laminated Timber. The design’s inspiration has been taken from its surrounds and its external influences. Situated adjacent to Stoney Creek, an active waterway leading to Maribyrnong River, we drew inspiration from remnant buildings within the site’s proximity; a nod to the industrial past of Footscray. This idea drove the form and shape of the building, with the gable roof forms and timber cladding.
Congratulations to the WAN Awards Gold and Silver winners in this category, The Ridge: Portswood Precinct, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa by Studio MAS, and Powerhouse Telemark by Snøhetta.
Eternity Life by k20 Architecture was also a finalist in the category Use of Sustainable and Environmentally friendly Building Materials, we congratulate SUP Atelier of THAD (Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University) for achieving the Gold Award.
