PPF is thrilled to announce our Bhattedanda Village Stupa Sanitation and Caretaker Project has received a Commendation from the 2025 Architecture AU Award for Social Impact program.
This is a wonderful acknowledgment of the important work carried out by our architects and the project team in Nepal.
Kudos to architects Harry Catterns, Jasper Ludewig, David Donald, Shane Marshall who volunteered their skills, time, and efforts to create a facility that has improved the quality of life of local villagers.
Local project managers Prem Lama and Surya Lama were instrumental in establishing and supporting the project.
Congratulations to our friends @incidentalarchitecture for receiving a well deserved commendation for their Nungalinya student accommodation project in Darwin, providing much needed facilities for Indigenous adult students from remote communities.
