The shortlist for the 20th annual Australian Interior Design Awards includes 9 projects in the Public Design category.

"This year's Public Design entries demonstrate a close connection to the client brand and ethos and there seems to be a stronger emphasis on capturing the culture of the organization," said juror Rosie Morley. "There is a clear sense of warmth and human-centredness running through the majority of projects, which alludes to a sense of belonging and community."
