Since 1929, the Australian Institute of Architects' Victorian Chapter (or the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects as it was known until 1967) has been awarding projects of architectural merit. The awards systems have changed and developed over that time.
In 1996 Victoria introduced a 'name' for its award for the best entrant in the residential architecture categories. It is named the Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award, after the renowned Melbourne-based architect (1865-1933). Entries to both Residential (New) and Residential (Alterations & Additions) categories compete for this award, the highest residential architecture honour in the state.
In 2009, 49 projects (24 Residential New; 25 Residential Alts & Adds) vied for the Harold Desbrowe-Annear Award. Four New and three Alts & Adds received a Residential Architecture Award, including this year’s overall winner, the Letterbox House.
All awarded projects across the 11 architecture categories move into national contention and compete against winners from around the county for the National Architecture Awards.
