Jenny wins Clem Cummings Medal

You’re used to mostly hearing Jenny’s voice on this blog, but today this is Lead Architect Sarah speaking, on behalf of the Light House team.

We’re so very proud to announce that Jenny picked up a significant award at the ACT Australian Institute of Architects Awards on the weekend. The Architecture Awards are tightly contended with limited categories and prizes up for grabs, so receiving recognition is incredibly humbling.

This year, Jenny was awarded the Clem Cummings award for “outstanding contribution to architecture and the built environment.” This is the only award of the year that generally goes to a non-architect for contributions to architecture and the public interest. Jenny had no idea that she was the recipient so we thoroughly enjoyed her emotional surprise! She claimed that “I had dreamed of winning this award but not for another ten years!” (She adorably carried the award around with her most of the night.)
