The 2025 Vivid Emerging Designer Awards were announced on 16 July at Decor & Design in Melbourne. The awards, curated by Latitude Group, are the longest running design competition in Australia, now in its third decade, and celebrates the work of emerging and early career designers in furniture, lighting and object.
“This year’s Vivid finalists have demonstrated a remarkable blend of social consciousness, material innovation and imaginative thinking. Their work embodies a commitment to sustainability and longevity, while also embracing playfulness, optimism and a high level of design resolution. It’s a powerful reminder that the future of Australian design is not only responsible and forward-looking but also deeply creative and full of promise,” said Cassie Hansen, Vivid judge and editor of InteriorsAu.
From more than 60 finalists, the judges selected winners and commendations across eight categories.
The Judge’s Choice Award went to Maryam Modhadam for her piece “Gnawing [Knowing]” an ashtray that invited conversation and reflection, embodying “the paradox between message and function, a cautionary object that also enables the very behaviour it critiques.”
“This object stands out as a deeply thought-provoking object—one that confronts the viewer with the contradiction at the heart of its function. The jury was struck by its ability to distill complex human behaviours into a single, visceral form—holding space for discomfort, reflection, and conversation. It’s a compelling example of how design can embody tension without offering resolution, and in doing so, leave a lasting impact,” said Hansen.
The 2025 jury consisted of: Cassie Hansen (InteriorsAu), Anne-Maree Sergeant (Authentic Design Alliance), Andrea Lucena-Orr (Dulux), Georgina Greenland (Design Institute of Australia), Rosa Coy (Coy Yiontis), Ruby Shields (Ruby Shields Design), Lucy Bishop (Redacted), Suzanne McNeice (Circa), Byron George (Russell and George), Mark Bailey (Thirteen Architectural Timber), John Bastiras (In Good Company) and Filip Bjazevic (Latitude Group).

An Australian-German team has been announced as the First Prize recipient in the initial phase of a competition to design the chancellery and residence for the German Embassy in Canberra, the site of which is home to a collection of buildings dating back to 1958.
The first stage in the three-phase competition, conducted by the German government, has been won by Richter Musikowski, a Berlin-based firm, and Lahznimmo Architects with Spackman Mossop Michaels Landscape Architects, both based in Sydney. Specialist consultants ADP Consulting and Daniel Butterick Consulting were also involved.
In response to the competition brief, which called for “demolition and reconstruction of the chancellery, along with the renovation or partial preservation of the residence building,” the winning design proposes a new, three-storey chancellery building and extends the existing residence building with a two-storey pavilion to the east of the corner site.

The architects note that the separation of the embassy’s structures maintains the site’s urban proportions and preserves views of Black Mountain in the city’s north-west, while at the scale of the plot, the scheme is “characterised by the landscape and topography of the site, the oval of the lawn, and the surrounding treetops to the west and south,” which “naturally describe a gently sloping, space-forming arch.”
“The new pergola roof complements this emerging space and connects both the buildings and the natural space with each other to create a representative yet intimate, poetic garden,” the designers note.
Being ovular in shape, the garden is intended to serve as “a metaphor for the relationship between Germany and Australia, and the aspirations of both countries for equality and openness, democracy and inclusion.”
“The inhabited spaces under the curved canopy, the grassland and the landscaped path that surrounds it will encourage the sharing of experiences, the exchange of ideas and the strengthening of existing relationships between Germany and Australia,” the architects observe.

Led by Spackman Mossop Michaels, the landscape design draws conceptually on the “genius loci” of place, adopting species of the Monaro Grasslands, such as snow gum eucalyptus trees, as well as native grasses and wildflowers – which, the designers note, offer the opportunity to propagate the seeds of endangered species.
The scheme also transforms the previous energy- and water-intensive landscape into a new, drought-resistant garden that requires minimal maintenance and irrigation.
Architecturally, the winning scheme adopts the motif of the “shady garden,” with a structured soffit and light openings designed to create a variety of intermediate spaces with informal facilities for meetings and gatherings, breaks and retreats. With its shaded canopy, the chancellery roof terrace is imagined as a special gathering space. Likewise, covered outdoor areas and an enlarged roof are proposed for the upper floor of the residence.
On the ground level, guests are directed to a garden reception outside the renovated residence. A split level within the new office building responds to the natural terrain of the site, with the half-height floor offset creating short sight lines and pathways within the building. According to the architects, the “efficient use of height allows for an optimal building volume.”
The German government’s policy goal of achieving net-zero emissions across their building stock by 2045 was a key requirement of the brief – as was a targeting a 6-star Green Star rating. Furthermore, the government required that the project adopt “low-tech” principles, with the building’s design and selection of materials based on locally available products.
In response, the covered terrace areas are designed to be paved with a reddish terrazzo concrete made from recycled bricks, and certain parts of the landscape’s informal paths are envisioned as constructed from recycled concrete slabs.
Rainwater collected on the scheme’s flat roofs is designed to be diverted to tanks or filtered on site.

Second prize for the competition has also been awarded to an Australian-German team, comprising Berlin-based firm Buero Hacke, along with Melbourne-based practice Kerstin Thompson Architects and landscape architecture studio Openwork. The winners of the first, second and third prizes will progress to the second stage before the project is awarded.

Plans for a residential tower in Chatswood are currently on exhibition on the NSW government’s major projects planning portal.
The state significant development proposal, designed by Sydney-based Fuse Architects, is located on the southern extremity of Chatswood CBD within a mixed context of two-storey townhouses, and mid-rise and high-rise apartment buildings.
The proposed 28-storey residential tower includes associated amenities, two floors of commercial office space, double-height retail spaces, and ground-floor food and beverage tenancies.
Of the project’s 125 dwellings, 28 are designated as affordable dwellings. The mix includes 55 two-bed apartments, 30 three-bed and 29 one-bed apartments, and 11 four-bed apartments.

View gallery

According to their statement, the architect’s design has been guided by four principles for an interconnected, intergenerational, intercultural and interactive place.
On the scheme’s north facade, a thickened, hollow structural wall “acts as a living element with custom joinery for benches, storage, and study areas,” and “directs northern light into apartments.”
Also on the north side of the site, a publicly accessible through-site link is proposed to provide a direct, east-west connection between Archer and Bertram Streets, and allow for outdoor dining and passive recreation opportunities.

View gallery

A verandah wraps the base of the building on three sides with the intention of creating a sheltered transition zone between inside and out, an interface between public and semi-public zones across the site and a space for casual social interaction.
Materially, the scheme draws upon the natural phenomena of folding tree trunks and peeling tree bark through precast concrete patterning and texturing, which is complemented by perforated metal screens.
The proposal can be viewed online and is open for public comment until 21 July. More

In August, an emerging generation of Australian architects and practitioners will present at the Sydney edition of The Architecture Symposium, sharing their ideas on what the future of architectural practice looks like and how they’re working to shape this through their process and projects. The full-day symposium will feature nine presenters and three paired conversations on what’s next for practice. Read up on the conversation topics below:
The future of practice
“There’s a shift taking place in architecture. The next generation is quietly forging its own path, remaking practice in a way that is relevant to today and points toward the future,” writes associate professor of architecture at University of Melbourne Rory Hyde (Architecture Australia Jan/Feb 2024). Hyde will be joined by Grace Mortlock of Other Architects in a conversation on how this “next gen” are united by “a distinct spirit and attiude,” looking closely into the emerging approaches that are guiding the future of the profession.
Shifting traditional practice from within
Traditional models of practice are often tied to long-established, large architectural businesses. Yet, these practices have the capacity to create diverse opportunities for both the business and its employees. A conversation between Ksenia Totoeva of Tonkin Zulaikha Greer Architects and Christina Cho of Cox Architecture will delve into the shifts happening within larger practices to evolve the architectural profession and its outputs.
Fees and procurement
Director of Lahznimmo Architects Andrew Nimmo will pick up the conversation on fees and procurement from a previous generational exchange between himself, Monique Woodward of Wowowa and Jon Clements of Jackson Clements Burrows for Architecture Australia Jan/Feb 2024. This time around, Nimmo will discuss current-day complexities of project procurement with Isabelle Toland of Aileen Sage Architects.
The full-day symposium will be held on 1 August, followed by the 2025 Houses Awards on the evening of the same day. Tickets to the symposium and the 2025 Houses Awards are now available. Architects are eligible to earn up to 4.5 formal CPD points, while Design Institute of Australia members can earn 6 DIA CPD points by attending The Architecture Symposium: What’s Next for Practice?
The Architecture Symposium is a Design Speaks program organised by Architecture Media, supported by premium partners Planned Cover and Bondor, and hotel partner Ovolo. More

The Australian Institute of Architects 2025 National Architecture Awards shortlist has been revealed, recognising design excellence across the country.
Across 13 categories, the jury has selected 62 projects to visit during their national tour. The largest proportion of these are located in NSW (23), followed by Victoria (17). In addition, two international projects have been shortlisted.
Jury chair Jane Cassidy explained that the shortlisted projects “are the precedents that inform the future of our cities and communities.”
“In an era defined by climate urgency, affordability, digital disruption and social complexity, the national awards provide a compass. They help chart our course toward a built environment that matters—not just now, but for generations to come,” Cassidy said.
Of the entries, one project has been shortlisted in three categories. The Australian War Memorial New Entrance and Parade Ground in Canberra by Studio.SC, which is distinguished by a new oculus inspired by the existing building’s dome, is a contender for Public Architecture, Heritage and Interior Architecture awards.
Several projects have been shortlisted in two categories. In NSW, these include Boot Factory and Mill Hill Centre Precinct by Archer Office, Cloaked House by Trias, and New Castle by Anthony St John Parsons. In Victoria, the Eva and Marc Besen Centre by Kerstin Thompson Architects, as well as Kennedy Nolan’s Gunn Ridge House and Melbourne Place have each been shortlisted twice.
Across the rest of the country, projects shortlisted in two categories include Ochre House by My My My Architecture (ACT); James Cook University Engineering and Innovation Place by Kirk with i4 Architecture and Charles Wright Architects (Qld); Flinders Chase Visitors Centre by Troppo Architects (SA); The Shed, University of Tasmania by Wardle (Tas); and the Metronet Morley-Ellenbrook Line Project by Woods Bagot with Taylor Robinson Chaney Broderick (TRCB), TCL and UDLA (WA).

The New South Wales government is today launching the state’s housing pattern book of low-rise designs, alongside an accelerated planning pathway intended to speed up the delivery of pattern-book homes.
Following the launch of an international pattern book design competition in 2024, the Government Architect NSW (GANSW) has endorsed eight terrace, townhouse and manorhouse designs pitched at families, young people and downsizers.
The eight low-rise patterns are intended to be affordable, easy to build, sustainable, and adaptable for different family sizes and needs through a variety of room formations and layouts.

View gallery

Of the eight low-rise patterns, two of the designs have been designed by the winning teams of the competition’s terrace category: Other Architects and NMBW Architecture Studio, from the collaborative NSW-Victoria team “Housing is a Verb;” and Officer Woods Architects from Western Australia. The remaining two terrace designs have been designed by Sydney-based architects Carter Williamson and Sam Crawford Architects, who were appointed by the state government.

The remaining four low-rise designs have also been created by locally commissioned architects. For the semi typology, these architects include Anthony Gill Architects and Sibling Architecture; for the row home typology, Saha; and for the manor home typology, Studio Johnston.

View gallery

Government Architect NSW Abbie Galvin said she was excited to be able to share these patterns for use by the development industry, architects, planners, councils and communities.
“The pattern book offers practical and sustainable designs that can be adapted to suit many neighbourhoods, positively contributing to the character of a street,” Galvin said.
Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully added, “Much of Sydney was built on pattern books. They look great, they’re simple and cost-effective. […] These designs offer choice, with less complexity, making it easier to build homes in NSW.”

View gallery

A communique from the state government notes that the pattern book will be advertised to potential homebuyers and builders through a campaign that highlights the benefits of using a pattern-book design.
For the first six months, the patterns will be available to purchase at a subsidised cost of $1 a design. Following this period, the designs will be priced at $1,000 each – a price point the government describes as “a significant discount on the professional fees that potential builders or homeowners would usually pay for a custom architecturally designed home, [which] could be estimated to cost over $20,000.”
Every purchase of a design will be accompanied by a landscape pattern, intended to assist homeowners in designing a garden “that maximises biodiversity and suits the climate they’re living in,” the government’s release notes.

View gallery

In combination with the pattern book, a new fast-track approval pathway for the housing patterns has been developed by the government with the aim of cutting major costs and delays.
“We’re accelerating these designs so those wishing to build can get moving,” Scully said.
According to the government’s release, the adoption of pattern book designs is additionally enabled by low- and mid-rise housing reforms across the state, which provide opportunities for the construction of terrace, townhouse and manorhouse designs near transport hubs and town centres.

View gallery

NSW Premier Chris Minns sees the launch of the pattern book as a welcome step toward improving access to the housing market, long hindered by rising costs and complex systems.
“This is a practical step to make the housing system fairer – and make sure NSW remains a place where the next generation can afford to live and thrive,” Minns said.
The government notes that, together, the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy and the NSW Housing Pattern Book are designed to bring fairness to the housing system “by increasing housing supply, giving people more choice in wherethey want to live and supporting communities that have been locked out of housing for too long, held back by rising costs and a planning system that made it too hard to build homes.”

The state government notes that the release of mid-rise patterns can be expected later this year.
The NSW Housing Pattern Book and process for fast-tracked planning approval are available online. More

A new exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in Canberra titled The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts invites visitors to touch, play with, and even inhabit the art – offering an interactive experience designed for all ages and challenging traditional museum etiquette.
The exhibition has been created by artist and Sydney College of the Arts senior lecturer Dr Sanné Mestrom and runs alongside the Cézanne to Giacometti exhibition. The installation responds to works by modernist masters including Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Klee, and Giacometti through touchable sculptures, drawing systems and immersive spaces. It invites audiences to rethink the way we engage with art and challenges how women are represented in the modernist canon.

View gallery

Designed for playful learning, the exhibition features 3D construction activities, bronze reliefs and tactile forms that encourage co-creation across generations.
“This is real art that both children and adults can engage with,” Dr Mestrom said. “I tested many of these ideas in my son’s school art class. The kids showed me how they learn – through movement, touch, and curiosity. Their feedback shaped the final exhibition.”
“The most striking response has been watching children naturally understand the cubist concept of multiple perspectives through play. Children intuitively grasp that the same object can look completely different from various viewpoints – they experience this daily through their embodied movement through space and daily life. Adults, however, often need to unlearn fixed perceptual habits.”

View gallery

The project is the result of Mestrom’s four-year DECRA research grant and is an example of how arts research can generate real-world impact. Her broader work on play and public space has influenced urban design policy and attracted $1.7 million in research funding.
The exhibition also contributes to the NGA’s Know My Name initiative, aiming to elevate women artists in Australian collections.
“This work emerged from my sustained investigation of female representation in Western art, particularly modernism’s fragmentation of women’s bodies. The title directly addresses how modernist artists like Picasso dismantled female forms according to male desire. As both feminist artist and researcher, I wanted to reclaim this fragmentation by transforming the passive reclining female nude into an active site of engagement,” says Dr Mestrom.

View gallery

“This is about loosening the grip of hierarchy and ownership in art,” said Dr Mestrom. “My work is inclusive, it’s playable, and it’s about making space for new ways of seeing and being in spaces accessible by all.”
“I hope visitors discover that ‘perception’ of art is an active, creative process rather than passive reception – we often learn and understand things through our bodies, not just our minds. This sort of embodied knowledge is central to being a child, and also to being a practicing artist. The exhibition demonstrates that comprehensive understanding emerges through integrating multiple viewpoints – visual, tactile, and kinesthetic,” says Dr Mestrom.
The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Her Parts is on view at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, until 21 September 2025. More
