Jury citation
‘Pasparakis Friel demonstrates the potential of an architectural practice deeply embedded in its community and context. The Jury was impressed by the clarity and ambition of the practice’s work, particularly its urban development proposals, which combine an embedded understanding of place with a strong sense of possibility. The built work is equally beautifully executed, with carefully judged interventions into existing structures and close attention to detail, materials and making. Across a diverse portfolio, the practice demonstrates a thoughtful and well-rounded approach to architecture, balancing design ambition with sensitivity to existing buildings, landscapes and communities. The beautifully presented submission was focused, confident and refreshingly self-aware, reflecting a practice with a clear architectural identity and a strong sense of purpose.’
