Three Sydney projects showcasing specialist fitout, sustainable delivery and construction within a live operational environment have each earned industry recognition for SHAPE Sydney.

At the 2026 Master Builders Association of NSW Excellence in Construction Awards at on Saturday, 24 October, SHAPE received three awards across interior fitout and refurbishment.

Sony Music Group and Pinsent Masons each won an Interior Fitouts award, and the Sydney Airport T1 Bussing Terminal Refurbishment Project won a Refurbishment/Renovation/Extension award.

Each project called on a different area of SHAPE's delivery expertise.

At Sony Music Group's new Darlinghurst headquarters, SHAPE integrated contemporary workplace and specialist acoustic environments within a heritage and lightweight timber-framed building. The technical solutions included a 75Rw-rated acoustic room, delivering a high level of sound isolation within a challenging existing structure.

For Pinsent Masons, SHAPE delivered a premium two-level workplace that balanced operational requirements, design quality and sustainability. Low-carbon materials and the reuse of existing furniture helped achieve a 30% reduction in embodied carbon emissions against a defined reference project.

At Sydney Airport, SHAPE expanded and refurbished the T1 Pier B East Bussing Terminal within a live, high-security environment. Detailed staging and close coordination allowed passenger access and daily terminal operations to continue throughout the delivery of structural, services and passenger-facing upgrades. A key achievement was the installation of a 3,000 kg OTIS glass lift, the largest-duty glass lift installed by OTIS in Australasia.

Together, the three awards demonstrate SHAPE's capability across specialist interiors, premium workplaces and technically demanding refurbishment projects in live environments.

James Fitzgerald, General Manager - NSW at SHAPE, said, "Three wins across three very different projects is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the capability and commitment of our people.

"Each project presented unique challenges, from working within the constraints of a heritage building to achieving ambitious sustainability targets and delivering complex construction works within an operating international terminal.

"These awards recognise the expertise, planning and collaboration that go into delivering outstanding outcomes for our clients. Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you to our clients, consultants, subcontractors and project partners for their contribution to these successful projects."
