As INSIDE 2013 draws close, its judges have diligently whittled down the entries to a shortlist of 59 projects across this year’s 12 diverse categories: Bars and Restaurants, Creative Re-use, Culture, Display, Education, Health, Hotels, Offices, Residential, Shopping Centres, Shops and Transport.
Celebrating the most inspired and accomplished interiors of the last year, the short list includes 15 Australian projects, including Fat Noodle by Luchetti Krelle, an eatery in Brisbane that is inspired by the heritage of the cuisines on offer, international law firm Allens Linklaters by BVN Donovan Hill, and Crumpler Prahran by Russell & George, a retail store that doubles up as a ‘light cage’.
These 15 Australian projects join a variety of entrants from around the world, such as Anglo-Japanese architects Klein Dytham, which entered the Google Japan headquarters in Tokyo, and Singapore-based architecture practice WOHA’s Park Royal on Pickering – a striking high-rise hotel and office building with contours that form planted valleys, gullies and waterfalls.

The shortlisted entries will pitch against each other in live presentations during the festival over a period of three days to an international panel comprising Odile Decq (ODBC); Nigel Coates (Nigel Coates Studio), Lyndon Neri (Neri & Hu) and more.
