The 2015 Sydney Design Awards, run by design 100, is part of a collaborative platform of award programs run across Sydney, Melbourne, London, San Francisco and New York. Developed with the aim of celebrating the courage and innovation of those who commission design, along with those who create it, the program works to support the world’s creative minds and organisations with the aim to accelerate the transformation to a design-led marketplace.

The Awards are judged by an expert design panel, members of the design industry, people from the design marketplace along with input from the general public.

Details of the following shortlisted PAYCE projects can be viewed and the projects rated via the Sydney Design Awards website on www.sydneydesignawards.com.au until 4th August 2015:

Brian Boyd, Managing Director of PAYCE said it was exciting to have six PAYCE entries in the running to win at these prestigious design awards.

“This year’s nominations are a mix of projects, covering residential, commercial and mixed-use,” he said.

“In last year’s awards, we had five nominations shortlisted that went on to make the finals, with two projects, East Village and Washington Park, taking out the major award in each of their respective categories.”

Mr Boyd said the projects nominated for this year’s awards once again showcase innovation in contemporary design and urban renewal, which is a trademark of all PAYCE projects.

“I congratulate all our design partners, who we consider to be leaders in the architectural profession and Sekisui House Australia, who is our joint partner on our Royal Shores and Jewel projects,” he said.

PAYCE General Manager, Dominic Sullivan said each of the nominated projects was a result of the collaborative efforts of very talented and enthusiastic design teams who push the boundaries to create outstanding projects.

“We enjoyed a lot of success in last year’s awards and we are hoping for a great result again this year with the great line-up of projects nominated,” he said.

The winners of each category will be announced on 5 August 2015 followed by a gala awards presentation on 12 August 2015.
