Best in Practice Prize (Small Practice) 2022

”In a move that demonstrates a commitment to using the power of business to create a positive impact on the planet and people, Dunn & Hillam is one of the few Australian architectural practices to be granted certified B-Corp status. The practice meets the highest global standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. They are committed to balancing profit and purpose.

There are several arenas in which Dunn & Hillam stand out in their ability to practice an outward, rather than purely inward, allegiance. Impressively, their commitment is to architecture at large. Having embraced the opportunity to identify as a launch pad for other practices and sole practitioners in the industry, advocacy for the profession is embedded into their workplace values.

For a small practice, Dunn & Hillam encapsulate the breadth of the entire profession, dedicating themselves to cultural initiatives, design excellence, and education of their staff and others.“

The Australian Institute of Architects’ Best in Practice Prize recognises excellence in practice, with a focus on the development of supportive and inclusive workplaces and contributing to the overall success and elevation of a positive workplace culture in Architecture.
