Baxter St Community Pantry commended at QLD State Architecture Awards

We are so proud that our Baxter St Community Pantry recently received a Commendation for Social Impact at the QLD State Architecture Awards.

The jury citation was as follows:

‘Baxter Community Pantry is a shining example of grassroots generosity, providing 24/7 access to essential food and supplies for those in need. This initiative fosters a genuine spirit of community support and kindness above and beyond that of a typical architecture practice. With a small graphic installation, it provides fresh produce, pantry staples, toiletries, and even pet food. The pantry operates on a simple yet powerful principle: “Take what you need, leave what you can”. Through its unwavering commitment to helping others, Baxter Community Pantry strengthens local connections and embodies the true essence of social impact. A truly commendable effort that we hope leads by example to the profession and asks us all, “Are we doing enough for the communities we live and practice in?”‘
