The Fisher and Paykel Melbourne Experience Centre by Clare Cousins Architects with Fisher and Paykel Design and Alt Group has been awarded The Retail Space at the INDE.Awards 2025. As a winning project, it redefines the possibilities of retail architecture by creating an immersive, material rich environment shaped by place, culture and craft.
CDK Stone’s Natasha Stengos takes us through its Alexandria Selection Centre, where stone choice becomes a sensory experience – from curated spaces, crafted details and a colour-organised selection floor.
Recognised as winners at the INDE.Awards 2025, Enter Projects Asia in collaboration with SOM have received The Influencer award.

Recognised as a winner at the INDE.Awards 2025, Barton Taylor has received The Photographer – Residential accolade. His photographic work on Cake House captures the soul of a coastal icon reimagined, blending light, texture and atmosphere into a compelling visual narrative.
