As they have done for 28 years, the Awards celebrate the design excellence of Australian and New Zealand professionals, and showcase the crucial role colour has in creating a space. While every year the Dulux team urge entries to push the boundaries on “how colour is not only used, but how it’s perceived,” as put by Dulux colour & communications manager Andrea Lucenca-Orr, this year they’re still anticipating a high level of creativity. “We’re looking forward to seeing architects, designers and specifiers taking it that one step further with their innovative and inspiring application of colour,” she adds.

Dulux Colour Awards winners announced in Melbourne last night

Melbourne’s Atherton Gardens HUB Development has been awarded the Grand Prix title in the 2013 Dulux Colour Awards at a gala function held at Luminare last night.

Co-designed by McCabe Architects and Bird de la Coeur Architects, Atherton Gardens HUB also won the Multi Residential Exterior category. The judging panel said it displayed exceptional bold use of colour on the external façade of the balconies which in turn created a vibrant impact and strong contrast against the white external walls.
