INSIDE World Interior of the Year 2017 Shortlist.

INSIDE World Festival of Interiors has recently announced that a shortlist of 78 projects will compete to be crowned World Interior of the Year 2017. Projects from across the globe were entered in nine diverse categories, ranging from grand civic spaces and hospitals to transportation hubs, bars, shops and homes. Hosted alongside the World Architecture Festival (WAF), the INSIDE festival attracts in excess of 2,000 attendees each year for its three days of talks, awards, exhibitions and fringe events. Winners will be chosen from each category and the program will culminate with the announcement of the 2017 World Interior of the Year on 17 November.

There are eleven Australian projects in this year’s shortlist designed by Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp (FJMT), Carr Design Group, Architects EAT, PAL Design Group, Mlkk Studio, BVN with three shortlisted projects, and SJB who celebrate being the only practice with four shortlisted projects in this year’s awards. Amazing effort!

Last year, two Australian projects were awarded for their efforts. Woods Bagot’s Paramount by the Office Space project in Sydney received the top prize in the ‘Office’ category, while Smart Design Studio’s Indigo Slam claimed the award for best ‘Residential Project’.

So without further ado, below is a selection of our favourite projects from INSIDE 2017 shortlist.
