The Workspace Awards are an annual highlight of the design awards calendar, and these are your 2019 shortlist entrants.
Since launching in 2017, the Workspace Awards have celebrated Australian interior design, and served as a showcase for the finest work in our community.
Open to all Australian designers and firms across the commercial and residential sectors, the awards program is split between the structures of Primary and Major Categories, ensuring a broad entry base from independent designers and small firms, as well as medium and large design companies.
