In this AAA Short Black talk Tone Wheeler of environa studio, discusses how the unique community building, the Wayside Chapel, was planned, designed and constructed.

Winner of the AIA (Australian Institute of Architects)NSW Architecture Awards 2014 Lord Mayor's Prize and the Milo Dunphy Award for Sustainable Architecture 2014, the Wayside Chapel was also the winner of the IDEA Interior Design Excellence Awards - Sustainability Award 2014, and was previously awarded the 2004 Francis Greenway Society Green Building Gold Medal.

The design adheres to practice ethos of 'Long life, loose fit, low impact', with the spaces within the building specifically designed to easily enable users to adjust and adapt spaces to meet changing needs over time.

Quoting the AIA Jury, 'What makes this building stand out has been the additional emphasis on less mainstream aspects of sustainability, including a green roof to grow fruit and vegetable crops for the onsite cafe and the use of colours and materials to influence occupant mood and wellbeing - all based on solid research,' 

TARGET LEARNING OUTCOMES:
  • Understand how the principles of sustainability can be applied to diverse building types
  • Gain insight into how the success of community architecture relies on the understanding and adoption of clear principles and requirements of the client
  • Appreciate how bespoke building costs can be contained with innovation and clear guiding principles.
