The 2010 Australian Interior Design Awards have been announced.
Now in its seventh year, the awards program is co-presented by the Design Institute of Australia (DIA), designEX and Artichoke magazine to recognise excellence in both residential and commercial interior design.
The overall Premier Award for Interior Design Excellence and Innovation went to Dreamtime Australia Design for Victor Churchill, Fine Family Butcher, located in Woollahra, Sydney.
The jury said: "This project challenges notions about retailing and the traditional idea of a butcher shop. The interior reveals a dramatic juxtaposition of old-world production and contemporary theatre. The design intensifies the retail journey and the customer experience. This is a world-class example of retail design and may set a benchmark for retail design globally."
