AA-standard gallery space at its heart. First government building in Australia constructed to Passive House standard. 2014-2016 Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship (architecture) In the grounds of Ormond College, the University of Melbourne. An L-shaped teaching building designed using Passive House principles, constructed on the site of tennis courts, which have been 'raised' to form the roof of the new structure. Realised in collaboration with industrial design group Design Sense and irwinconsult engineer Phil Gardner. Flexible open spaces lie between the monolithic exposed floor and roof slabs, the latter seemingly floating on minimal steel-cage columns. One of a series of Lovell Chen projects at Ormond College. 2015-2019 Old Quad Redevelopment (strategic planning, architecture, conservation) Original architect (north and east wings): Francis Maloney White, constructed 1856 (north wing), 1857 (east wing). Following the development of a master plan by Lovell Chen from which was derived a staged programme of works, Melbourne University’s Old Quad is being re-established as the centre of campus civic, cultural and ceremonial life. In 2019, Lovell Chen completed adaptation and refurbishment works to the North Wing, north end of the East Wing and the North Annexe, using Passive House principles - the first application in Australia of the adaptive reuse model Passivhaus EnerPHit to a building of state heritage significance. 2015-2020 Victorian Trades Hall, Melbourne (architecture, conservation, restoration, reconstruction, heritage services) Original architect: Reed and Barnes et al, construction commenced 1874 (nine further stages). One of the world's oldest trade union buildings (Victorian Trades Hall), and still in use as the home of unionism in Victoria. Phase one of redevelopment was completed in 2019, returning its central chamber (Solidarity Hall) to its original orientation and proportions, restoring the Old Council Chamber (1884), conserving the fabric of the main public spaces, making roof repairs and improving circulation routes. 2019-2020 Federation Square Management Framework (heritage management planning) Original architect: Lab Architecture Studio, constructed 1997-2004. The first place completed in the 21st century in Australia to be managed under a statutory heritage regime. Lovell Chen developed a conservation framework, researching the original architects' theoretical approach to design and creating a heritage plan that embraces the capacity for change embedded in the conceptual rationale. Awards The practice has received many awards: 2020: Australian Urban Design Award: Leadership, Advocacy and Research - local and neighbourhood scale, for ANU Acton Campus Master Plan, in association with Arup, Urban Enquiry, Mantra Studios, Karen Wright Projects,
