Design provokes an emotional response in us – whether it’s nostalgia, delight or a sense that we’re in the know – and good design is good for business, with the ability to attract patrons (and keep them coming back) and to create an efficient working environment for staff.

The annual Eat Drink Design Awards supports innovation and excellence in the design of hospitality premises of all scales and types, retail environments for the sale of food and beverages and visual identities for both.

The programme, endorsed by the Australian Institute of Architects and the Design Institute of Australia, recognises and celebrates Australia and New Zealand’s best projects, acknowledging design achievement across seven categories. From high-end restaurants and bars to off-beat hole-in-the-wall cafes and pop-ups, the awards are a unique forum for architects, designers and their clients to present their best new projects. It is the only awards programme in Australasia dedicated to this specialist area.

Entries present a wide range of environments, including bars, nightclubs, fine-dining restaurants, hotels, cafes, retail spaces and pop-up installations, and cover architecture and design practices of all scales, specialisations and locations.

Congratulations to the three New Zealand practices shortlisted in this year’s awards – Material Creative, Izzard Design and CTRL Space. Find out more about each of the New Zealand shortlisted projects here.
