Named Award Win for 42 Honeysuckle Drive at the Regional Architecture Awards

42 Honeysuckle Drive has been awarded the Named Award for Commercial Architecture at the 2026 NSW Regional Architecture Awards, presented by the Australian Institute of Architects.

The mixed-use development in Newcastle brings together a Little National Hotel and a commercial office building constructed in CLT. Positioned on the Hunter River foreshore beside the city’s transport interchange, the project plays a key role in Newcastle’s urban renewal – leading sustainable, socially engaging design and setting a new benchmark for waterfront development across the region.

We are honoured to celebrate with our peers, clients, and collaborators, amongst projects shaping our future. Congratulations to all involved!
