The Woodhead designed Central Land Council (CLC) in Alice Springs has been awarded the George Chaloupka Award for Interior Architecture and The Australian Institute of Architects Commendation for Sustainable Architecture at the AIA Northern Territory Chapter awards held on 11 June 2010. Woodhead architectural, interior design and graphic design teams all collaborated to deliver this landmark project.
The Central Land Council is headquarters for 140 staff, whose task it is to represent indigenous constituents in matters involving land acquisition, native title claims, sacred sites, land management, land use proposals, economic development and public awareness, began operating from the new facility, which will serve over 24,000 constituents across 771,747km2 of Central Australia. The awards jury commented: “The interior of this building provides a vibrant stimulating work environment for CLC staff, and conveys the message that the CLC is a contemporary, confident, forward-thinking organisation.”
The Central Land Council building was designed and constructed to achieve a 4 star rating under the Office Design rating system, and a 4 star NABERS energy base building rating. The building is also registered to receive a Green Star accreditation with assessment currently pending.
It is anticpated that the building will receive a Star Green Star rating, making Woodhead the only firm to have Green Star rated projects in both Alice Springs and Darwin. Given the remoteness of the location and the extreme weather conditions, this is an outstanding achievement.
Located at the foot of Tessa Hill, a sacred Aboriginal site along side the North Stuart Highway, Alice Springs, the building houses office space, conference facilities, a resource centre, staff function areas, internal courtyard and atrium spaces, fire proof archive stores, secure under cover fleet vehicle parking, lock up bike storage, locker and shower facilities, and a water-wise, natively landscaped site, with pedestrian paths linking informal outdoor meeting areas.
Speaking on the quality of entries generally, Mr Mainwaring, 2010 NT Awards Chairman, said: “This year, although entry numbers were small, the collection of nominations offer an insight into the way architects in the tropics continue to deal with green and cultural issues, sustainability, and consideration of the natural and urban landscape.Mr Mainwaring said: “the new Central Land Council Building in the outer-skirts of Alice Springs, are examples of how far we have come in creating state of the art, authentic responses to the development and evolution of future indigenous cultures.”
