With the 2025 INDE.Awards now over, it’s time to take a breath before it all begins again in early December. However, integral to the awards this year and every year is the jury – and what an amazing group came together in 2025.
August 29th, 2025
A jury is the backbone of any awards program and so it is with the INDE.Awards where exemplar practitioners come together to review and assess entries. This year there was a complement of 34 jurors – each with their particular expertise that covered every aspect of architecture and design – from commercial, retail and hospitality, education, workplace and health through to residential and interior projects, object design, graduates and photography.
We would like to thank each and every one of our talented and very busy jurors for their time, expertise and professional judgment that forms the shortlist and ultimately the Honourable Mentions and Winners. It’s not an easy task and takes precious time, however, we are very grateful for your dedication to the INDE.Awards and for making the 2025 INDEs such a success.
Among the illustrious group in 2025 are Founders and Principals of their own practices, a Gold Medal winner, practitioners recognised for their outstanding contribution by their respective Architecture Institutes, architects and designers who are feted in their own country, our region and globally as every juror is recognised as a leader of design.
It’s a jury that highlights the depth of architecture and design talent in the Indo-Pacific but also brings a perspective from Europe and America. And so, to the jury members of the 2025 INDE.Awards, our sincere thanks go to,

In the last instalment of our three-part performance seating series, Alex Bain from Architectus explains why sitting well shouldn’t feel like sitting at all and explores an unexpected success metric of the hybrid workplace: the grounding power of emotional support.
Stepping into Intuit’s Sydney workplace certainly doesn’t feel like walking into an office. Why? In this film, we discover that, when joy takes precedence as a design driver, even a high-performing commercial CBD headquarters can feel like an intuitive wonderland that invites employees to choose their own adventure.
The difference between music and noise is partly how we feel when we hear it. Similarly, the way people respond to an indoor space is based on sensory qualities such as colour, texture, shapes, scents and sound.
In the second instalment of our performance seating three-parter, we turn to DKO’s Michael Drescher and Jacob Olsen to peek behind Sayl’s confident architectural form and explore the ideas of inclusivity, adaptability and freedom to move as hallmarks of what sitting your best actually means.
This November marks 25 years since Greg Natale opened his Sydney studio. In the decades since, he has built one of Australia’s most recognisable design practices, defined by pattern and decorative conviction.
As build-to-rent gains ground in Australia, HOME Parramatta asks what architecture can offer beyond supply: stability, shared amenity and a less provisional model of rental living.

Now reimagined as Taj Cidade de Goa Heritage Resort, the 1982 landmark has been carefully restored by Studio IV Designs, which builds on Correa’s original Indo-Portuguese vision while updating the interiors for contemporary hospitality.
Even when we don’t realise it, we are guided by subtle cues in our environment. Colours, textures and geometries all converge to form an intuitive navigation system for inhabiting interior space.
