Australian projects have taken out a suite of awards at the 2023 World Architecture Festival and Inside World Festival of Interiors Awards.
In the interiors category, SJB were the recipient of three accolades. SJB’s 19 Waterloo Street received the prestigious World Interior of the Year award, as well as the Residential Single Dwelling Award. The jury lauded the project as a “pocket sized tour de force,” for its generosity of space within a limited 30-square-metre footprint. The practice was also named winner of the Temporary/Meanwhile Use category for its interior design of a temporary space for an exhibition titled Eucalyptusdom.
“I’m always in awe of the calibre of projects presented at WAF and Inside, so to have received not just one, but three awards feels pretty surreal. I’m so proud of the work we do at SJB, and I’m incredibly honoured to lead a team that’s producing such exciting, forward-thinking projects that are not only beautiful but actively working to solve real-world issues,” said SJB director Adam Haddow.
