“The pursuit of excellence is rarely a straight path - it’s a challenge of persistence, passion, and belief in the work we do. To have that journey recognised by our peers, and among such extraordinary company, is incredibly humbling. We’re all absolutely elated" Director Nicholas Bandounas

Congratulations to our client Australian War Memorial for their support and vision, Kane Constructions who delivered the project with great care, craftsmanship and collaboration, and the long list of contributors who made this possible. Thank you to the core Studio.SC team, Edward Salib, Ornella Bucceri, Emma Leckie, Doug Southwell and Nicholas Bandounas, and to everyone else who played a part.
