Two of HSR (Aust) Groups flagship conservation projects in South Australia have received awards at the 2019 South Australian Architecture Awards.

Dash Architects received the David Saunders Award for their design of the northern elevation of Elder Hall. Working closely with the architects HSR’s stonemasons were able to achieve outstanding finishes, with many of the details hand-carved onsite to ensure adherence to project schedules.

Our friends at Flightpath Architects also received a commendation for their work on the Adelaide Central Market Federal Hall Façade Conservation! The project involved nearly 5 kilometres of repointing with lime mortars to preserve the integrity of the brickwork.

Congratulations to each firm for their achievements!
