Award of Merit:

Cox Architecture for Parmelia Hilton Hotel

This collaboration transformed a dark and dated hotel lobby into a beautiful series of well-connected and related spaces that befits the status of this well-loved Perth hotel.

The project value lies in the diversity of managed and un-managed spaces – witout con or clutter. Hotel operations are significantly enhanced, with greater visual surveillance, physical connectivity, and technical support systems. The project design reflects a significant refurbishment, with adaptive re-use of the existing original hotel building fabric. Establishing a new entry and arrival for the Hilton Hotel – the project re-images the Hilton brand for its patrons and the broader community, offering diverse activities.
