Your Moment INDESIGN

For this exclusive Indesign Edit, we invited eight of our most valued industry colleagues – and design heroes – to join us at the Farage concept store, where we captured them in their element.

For more than 24 years INDESIGN has been devoted to recognising our region’s leading architects and designers and celebrating their outstanding work. We pride ourselves on being a professional resource for the design curious, and giving space to edgy, intelligent and current projects, voices and views.

Recently we asked eight of our friends and design heroes about the design philosophies they live by. We wanted to get on the inside of how these eight talented individuals approach architecture and design, the philosophies they stand by, and how INDESIGN supports and elevates their daily practices.

In collaboration with our sartorial partner and long-time friends, Farage, we present Your Moment INDESIGN.

Reinvigorating public spaces: Short Lane

Designed by Woods Bagot, Short Lane is a mixed-use apartment building that supports the creation of diverse and activated neighbourhood areas. It’s also an oasis providing people with the relief of green spaces in their apartments. No wonder, the project won the acclaimed INDE Gold in the Multi-Residential category partnered with Bosch.

How can privately owned public space transform our cities?
