2023 Southern Architecture Awards Winner

Southern Aurora Substation (1972)

This bold yet playful early 1970s civic infrastructure sits confidently among its heritage neighbours, adding to the richness of the two streets it spans. Engaging curved brickwork at ground level allows views into the building and through the city block. Light plays on the pattern precast above, and a series of beautiful organic brick shells encase and protect the rooftop transformers.
