We are excited to share that the Grampians Peaks Trail Stage 2 received a prestigious Australian Good Design Award Gold Winner Accolade last night in the Architectural Design category in recognition for outstanding design and innovation. ⁠ ⁠ Jury citation: “A celebration of landscape as hero, where the architecture sits soundlessly to enhance and not overwhelm the hikers experience. A series of viewing platforms, amenities and camping huts are sensitively placed along the Grampians walk, touching the ground lightly. The designers have cleverly crafted the built form in recognition of the scale and diversity of the terrain through site the responsive designs. Appropriate selections of robust materials and detailing for both construction and maintenance have focussed on longevity and ease of construction in remote areas with limited access – Excellence.” The Good Design Awards are the highest honour for design and innovation in the country and reward projects across 11 design disciplines covering more than 30 categories and sub-categories, with projects evaluated by more than 70 Australian and international Jurors, including designers, engineers, architects and thought leaders. ⁠ The Grampians Peaks Trail, Stage 2 by Noxon Giffen⁠ with McGregor Coxall⁠ ⁠ Architect: @noxongiffen⁠ Design Director: Justin Noxon⁠ Project Architect: Andrew Jenner⁠ Project Team: Darren Giffen, Stephanie Morgia, Olivia Peel, Sophie Chomard.⁠ ⁠ Client: @parksvic⁠ Landscape Architect: @mcgregorcoxall⁠ Engineer: @opsengineers⁠ Project Manager: @weareontoit⁠ Main Contractor: @linctgroup⁠ Photographer: ⁠ @adam.gibson.photo ⁠ The Grampians National Park (Gariwerd) extends over the Traditional Lands of the Jadawadjali and Djab Wurrung peoples.
