LAVA’s Martian Embassy has won two more design awards - the Premier’s Award and a Commendation in the Small Project category at the NSW AIA awards 2013.

The Martian Embassy is the home for the Sydney Story Factory, a creative writing centre for young people. The design, a fusion of whale, rocket and time tunnel, aims to awaken creativity in kids. The immersive space of oscillating plywood ribs is animated by red planet light and sound projections.

Chris Bosse, director of LAVA, said: “LAVA is honoured to receive both the prestigious Premier’s award, chosen from the entire field of entries across all categories, and the Commendation from our peers.”

Bosse said: "This project is not only about architecture. It is about storytelling, and fostering creativity." 

"We worked with an amazing team of creatives from Will O'Rourke and the Glue Society to fulfil the brief, and dreams, of our very inspired clients. And with the help of many professionals such as Redwood Projects and Berents Project Management and many, many volunteers."

The Premier’s prize is awarded by the NSW Premier from a shortlist of architectural projects selected by the NSW Government Architect which ‘are of benefit to the people of NSW and provide public enjoyment – educational, cultural, transport or accommodation facilities’. The Small Projects category is for design solutions 'often constrained by space or cost restrictions, but which have achieved a level of invention, creativity and craftsmanship beyond those constraints'.

The Embassy has previously won the Sydney Design Award and the Australian Timber Design Award.

Our sustainable modular concrete bridge in Rotterdam has been given a 'Special Mention' at the 2014 fib Award for Outstanding Concrete Structures.

Dubbed the 'Bosse Bridge' by our partner FDN Engineering and Construction, the bridge references LAVA's branching structures in its railings.

The 19m long bridge is made from nine cubes of concrete. 

FDN’s demonstration project aims to show that ultra high strength concrete bridges with a very thin concrete deck are possible. It can carry a twelve tonne vehicle and the modular system means a bridge 30m x 5m can be transported in twenty-foot containers around the world economically.

Located on reclaimed land between Malaysia and Singapore, it will house 700,000 people with office towers, parks, hotels, shopping malls and an international school.

LAVA and ARUP received a ‘Jury Special Mention’ in an Australian competition to design relocatables - classrooms for the future.
LAVA and ARUP`s proposal was one of 116 submissions exploring diverse ideas for future proofing relocatable learning spaces.
Relocatables are the decades old, utilitarian solution to changing demographics, remote community needs, and disasters such as fires, floods and cyclones. However often they are perceived as cheap, dull, unattractiveand unpleasant spaces.
ARUP and LAVA want to turn this idea upside down and create prefabricated spaces, that are sustainable, practical, cost-effective and at the same time fun and exciting to be in.
The aim of the ideas competition was to produce effective spaces for 21st century learning that are sustainable, integrate with the landscape and connect with the school environment, suitable for prefabrication and mass customisation.
The exciting solutions are on show from 12 – 22 December 2011 at the Wunderlich Gallery, University of Melbourne.
The Future Proofing School competition was funded as an Australian Research Council Linkage Project.
