PELLE Architects

Very recently, PELLE Architects were absolutely thrilled and very honoured to be the recipient of an Award in the Commercial Architecture category for The Civic Pub project at the 2025 ACT Architecture Awards held at the National Library of Australia.

‘…The Civic Pub [Stage 02] is a clever adaptive reuse of an existing and under-utilised steel framed mechanics building. Minor modifications to the existing pub layout allow for an internal link entry into the new pub. The new link creates a sense of anticipation. Moving through into the new spaces reveals a thoughtful, warm and textural addition that sits within the portal framed structure of the existing building…’ commented the jury.

Thankyou to the jury who recognised how truly special this project really is. Thankyou and congratulations to our wonderful clients who allowed us the opportunity to collaborate with them and trusted us in bringing their vision to reality. This project was truly a team effort!

Thank you to Construction Control (and all sub-contractors) who did an amazing job in the ex*****on of the project and bought it to life! To all the consultants who pushed the boundaries with us - Thankyou!
HPCE, Sellick Consultants, Vector Alliance, Pinnacle Design Consulting, Resolution Planning, Phillip Chun, LCI Consultants, Tree Department, Shaw Surveys, Agon Environmental, Robson Environmental.
Truly a great team effort by all the project team involved from start to finish.
A massive shoutout to all the PELLE Architects team members that contributed to this project both past and present.
If you haven’t yet visited The Civic Pub, go and experience the space for yourself. You wont be disappointed!
