Nine NZ design teams had their work honoured at the 2015 Interior Awards, held at St-Matthew-in-the-city earlier this week.
The awards were presented across nine main categories: Retail, Hospitality, Workplace (up to 1000m2), Workplace (over 1000m2), Civic, Installation, Craftsmanship, Emerging Design Professional and Student.

As MC, Jon Bridges had the wit to ensure the formal part of the proceedings moved briskly and smoothly,
