Australian Interior Design Awards Winners in 2017

BEST OF THE BEST IN INTERIOR DESIGN REVEALED

An ambitious, sculptural and dramatic residence has taken out the Premier Award at the 2017 Australian Interior Design Awards. With inventive workspaces, distinguished public exhibits and state-of-the-art facilities amongst the awarded projects, the future of Australian interior design is in safe hands.

Delivered through a partnership between the Design Institute of Australia and Architecture Media’s Artichoke magazine, the Australian Interior Design Awards is Australia’s foremost awards program for the sector.

On Friday 9 June, the 14th annual Australian Interior Design Awards were presented at a gala celebration in Melbourne, which was attended by more than 500 of our most esteemed interior design and architecture practitioners and professionals.

A project that is as unique as it is expertly designed, Smart Design Studio’s Indigo Slam received the Premier Award for Australian Interior Design, with the jury ‘unable to find fault’ with the home’s impeccable composition. ‘This project is a private residence, but also hosts events for the client’s art gallery, celebrating unconventional domesticity through dual functionality,’ said the jury. The home is ‘defined as much by a sense of a thoughtful restraint, as it is by immaculate detailing.’ Indigo Slam was also awarded for Residential Design, making it the only project to collect multiple national gongs.

The prestigious Award for Interior Design Impact celebrates the transformative effect that design can have on organisational outcomes. This year’s jury recognised two projects that confound the conventional expectations of their typologies; the museum exhibit and the serviced office. Woods Bagot was awarded for Paramount by The Office Space, an exemplar design that forms ‘the kind of private nest that knowledge workers dream about,’ while The First Peoples exhibition, by Museums Victoria Design Studio, elevates ‘a permanent exhibit into the magic and theatre… of a biennale pavilion.’

The award for Workplace Design was shared by two projects, the EDG Forum by Archer Office and Frasers Property Australia by BVN. Both projects feature ‘third spaces’ – areas that the jury noted ‘eschew a traditional workstation arrangement in favour of a configuration that promotes serendipitous interaction.’

A mere two years old, Brad Swartz Architects is one to watch, having received the 2017 award for Emerging Interior Design Practice. The jury praised Brad for his ‘passion for small footprint living, which responds to Australia’s housing affordability crisis and in doing so, actively offers solutions.’
