Australia is guaranteed to win at least one category award at the 2015 INSIDE Festival of Interiors Awards (INSIDE) and is also well positioned to take top honours when the winners are revealed in November.
Seven Australian projects were announced on the 50-strong shortlist for the global interior design awards and were revealed in conjunction with the announcement of the shortlist for the 2015 World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards which also saw strong representation from Australia.
In similar fashion to the WAF Awards, Australia will be best represented in the Health and Education category at the INSIDE Awards, with all four shortlisted projects coming from Australia. This should guarantee Australia a category prize and the odds are looking good for John Wardle Architects who have two out of the four projects in that category.
Pedra Silva Architects, John Wardle Architects, Philips/Pilkington Architects, Cox Rayner Architects, Hames Sharle, March Studio, BVN and Hassell will now all eagerly anticipate the announcement of the winners at the 2015 INSIDE Festival of Interiors which will run concurrently with the 2015 World Festival of Architecture.
