The 2022 Sustainability Awards has seen the introduction of a number of new categories, with Interior Design arguably the most intriguing.

With interiors in general being a rather broad scope, the Sustainability Awards’ category criteria narrows it down for architects and interior designers.

The category asks for the renovation or fit-out of the interior of an existing building where the sustainable design is involved with such factors as determining the efficient and effective use of space, selecting construction materials that offer low environmental impact and lowering pollution, waste, and the lowering of the overall energy consumption.

The shortlist for the category was unveiled last month, with six exemplary projects in the running to take out the award in its first year.

Please find the shortlist below:

50/50s House – Green Sheep Collective

Built/SubStation No. 164 –fjmtinteriors in collaboration with fjmtstudio
