A mansion near Blackwall Reach designed by Hillam Architects has just been awarded the top architectural award in Western Australia. The home took out the Marshall Clifton Award for Residential Architecture - Houses (New) at the 2015 WA Architecture Awards on Friday night.

Australian Institute of Architects WA President Philip Griffiths said this year's winners reaffirmed the high quality of work produced by architects in Western Australia. "This year’s winners represent the best of the best, having been selected from over 120 very fine entries. It is indeed a rich showcase and it is very pleasing to see that all Named and Architecture Awards were for Western Australian practitioners," said Griffiths. 

The big winner on the night was the $2 billion Fiona Stanley Hospital in southern Perth, which won the George Temple Poole Award, named after the man who designed the Perth Mint and the Perth railway station. The hospital was the work of three firms, Hassell, Hames Sharley and Silver Thomas Hanley.
