Good Design Award Gold Winner accolade for BARC

Wonderful to receive our award at the Good Design Awards ceremony!

Sam Crawford and Gabrielle Pelletier with Bill Tsakalos (City Architect and Director Transformational Design, Blacktown City Council) were present to receive a Good Design Award Gold Winner Accolade in the Architectural Design category for exceptional design and innovation for Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC).

The Jury praised our Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC) commenting:

“Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre (BARC) was designed to improve animal welfare and increase community acceptance and adoption of impounded animals. Achieved through a design that connects animals and humans to nature, BARC’s facilities balance highly technical requirements with a safe and welcoming building for staff and visitors. The Jury praised the design of BARC for its energy and clarity, which is overwhelmingly engaging and easily legible at first glance. The site planning elegantly supports the multiple overlapping facets of BARC’s operations, whilst the public-facing components are crafted to create a beautifully warm, humane, and approachable relationship between visitors, animals, and staff. Simply beautiful design.”
