Sophistication, ingenuity and exceptionally resolved materiality were strong themes among the winners of the 2024 Australian Interior Design Awards, announced at a gala event on 14 June in Sydney.
“There’s a freshness that characterises [this year], regardless of how long they have been in practice,” said the jury. “It just goes to prove that as an industry, we are showing no signs of fatigue, and our capacity for excellence and innovation has only been strengthened.”
“Competition amongst entries in the 2024 Australian Interior Design Awards was unlike any year before. The calibre of projects was exceptionally high, and while exquisite craftsmanship and detailing reigned, an emphasis on strong colour, natural light and refined materiality prevailed.”
The jury awarded the Premier Award for Australian Interior Design to Northcote House by LLDS, which also won a joint award for Residential Design.
The jury praised its “exciting collision of technology, sculpture, and innovative material use,” and noted its “unfamiliar yet captivating interior spaces.” This project stood out for the jury as it challenged the way they would typically think about residential interiors. Northcote House’s sustainability considerations impressed the panel, with every component of the home manufactured within five kilometres of the site.
The 2024 jury comprised Katherine Ashe (Vittino Ashe), Richard Coulson (Cox), David Flack (Flack Studio), Paul Foskett (Populous), Beatrix Rowe (Beatrix Rowe Interior Design), Madeline Sewall (Breathe), Isabelle Toland (Aileen Sage Architects) and Adele Winteridge (Foolscap Studio). Geraldine Maher (Maher Design) returned as jury convenor, and Katherine Featherstone (Green Building Council of Australia) joined as sustainability advisor.
