AJC Shortlisted for Two Projects in the 2025 Sustainability Awards

Reddam House North Shore
The adaptive reuse of the iconic 1971 Simsmetal House by Harry Seidler, Reddam House demonstrates how heritage architecture can be transformed into a vibrant K–12 school. AJC’s design preserved and reinterpreted key Seidler elements – including sunshades, staircases, and paving patterns – while delivering flexible learning environments, a basement sports hall, and rooftop play space within the building’s original envelope. Sustainable servicing strategies, low-VOC finishes, reused materials, and enhanced thermal performance further strengthen the project’s environmental credentials.

Newington College Eungai Creek Campus – Stage 1
Located on Dunghutti Country, the Eungai Creek Campus is a purpose-built rural facility immersing Year 9 students in a transformative experience of sustainability, community, and personal growth. The 1,600m² campus includes cabins, a health centre, reception, and dining hall, all designed with regenerative principles and carbon-positive materials such as compressed straw panels and biochar-infused linings. Elevated structures preserve the landscape, while biophilic design connects students with nature and views to Mount Yarrahapinni. The campus is both a school and a living example of environmental stewardship.

These nominations are a wonderful recognition of our teams, clients, and collaborators who share our commitment to sustainable, future-focused design.
