I’m delighted to share the winners of the 2023 Australian Interior Design Awards. The prestigious Award for Residential Design was presented to the acclaimed Madeleine Blanchfield Architects for Nine-Square Bondi. The jury celebrated its embodiment of local Australian design, remarking that “it has a soul and a real sense of home.”
Nine-Square Bondi was also awarded the Best of State for Residential Design (NSW) and a Commendation for Residential Decoration. A stunning home with soul and intimacy, the jury acknowledged the impressive resolve of complex spatial issues, stating “it displays an elegant spatial resolution, clarity in its expression and sophisticated curation of objects and furnishing that take the home to another level.”
The Award for Residential Decoration went to JCHQ’s compelling Piccolo Palazzo, with the jurors labelling it a project that outshines the constraints of its plan to “display innovation and a strong sense of emotion”, balancing contemporary design with vintage influences to capture the individuality of the client.
Amongst other notable accolades, Breathe’s Nightingale Skye House received a Commendation for the Sustainability Advancement Award, a Commendation for Residential Design, and Best of State for Residential Design (VIC).
