Five COX Projects Shortlisted for the 2025 Australian Interior Design Awards
From an intimate retail fitout to atmospheric hospitality venues and innovative workplaces, five COX projects have been shortlisted in the 2025 Australian Interior Design Awards.
Spanning typologies and scales, each project shares a common thread – a thoughtful, context-driven approach to design that enhances daily life through materiality, spatial clarity, and the way people engage with place.
In the Workplace Design category, two projects have been recognised: COX Adelaide Studio, a low-carbon fitout where craft, community and wellness converge, and Macquarie Group Global Headquarters, a dynamic, light-filled workplace designed for community and collaboration.

In Hospitality Design, Sol Bread & Wine and Genzo showcase how design can bring warmth, identity, and atmosphere to the dining experience, while in Retail Design, Una Providore demonstrates the power of detail and intimacy in small-scale environments.
