Architectural style
editARM is known for "architectural outspokenness".[1] ARM is highly regarded for its heritage and renewal projects including the refurbishment of Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne, the redevelopment of the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne, RMIT Storey Hall and the redevelopment of Melbourne Central Shopping Centre. ARM was also commissioned to prepare the masterplans for Melbourne Docklands, the Adelaide Festival Plaza Precinct,[2] and Elizabeth Quay in Perth. Recent projects include the Perth Arena and Wanangkura Stadium in Port Hedland.
A national survey of 600 architects conducted by the Architectural Review Australia found ARM to be considered the most influential architectural office in Australia in the period 1982–2007.[3] ARM is the only Australian firm to win the Australian Institute of Architects' Premier State Award seven times, most recently for the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre. Their design work has been featured on two Australian postage stamps.[1]
