The Dulux Colour Awards is New Zealand and Australia's premier showcase of inspirational colour application in interior and exterior residential, public and commercial spaces.
The finalists for the 38th annual Dulux Colour Awards have been announced by this year’s esteemed judging panel. A stunning 83 projects have been chosen from a record 527 entries, as judged by five design industry professionals from Australia and New Zealand.
As one of the region’s most prestigious awards programs, recognising the exceptional and innovative use of colour in the built environment, the Dulux Colour Awards attract an array of extraordinary projects.
Overall, the judges were impressed by the deeply considered, intelligent design pervading this year’s suite of finalists: hospitality venues and retail stores enticing customers through an understanding of colour psychology; primary schools with classrooms distinguished by colour to aid learning and navigation; and, human-focused offices with masterful mood-setting palettes.
The judges have a challenging task ahead but, as five of Australia and New Zealand’s most experienced architects and designers, each adept at using colour assertively in their own work, they have a keen eye for exemplary design, innovation and execution.
The 2024 judging panel comprises Shaun Carter, Founder of Carter Williamson; Monique Woodward, Co-Founder of WOWOWA Architecture; Sarosh Mulla, Director of Pac Studio; Eva-Marie Prineas, Founder of Studio Prineas; and, Nick Travers, Co-Director of Technē Architecture + Interior Design.
