Following a highly successful 2025 edition, which honored award-winning projects from more than 35 countries, INT continues to strengthen its position as a global platform dedicated exclusively to excellence in interior design across residential, commercial, public, and hospitality environments.

The 2025 INT Interior Design Awards recognized projects that demonstrated how thoughtful interior design can enhance daily life and support communities. Among the winners, TLA + UN + NEUF’s Aux Mille-Voix High School in Quebec reimagined educational infrastructure with an inner courtyard featuring a living tree as its centerpiece, creating a central gathering space that connects students and community members while symbolizing growth and human connection. The innovative design required extensive validation with Quebec’s infrastructure authority, highlighting how award-winning projects push boundaries even within regulated environments.

The 2026 INT Interior Design Awards

Hossein Farmani, President of the INT Interior Design Awards, commented on the opening of the new edition:

“What excites me most about interior design right now is seeing an industry long rooted in tradition opening to sustainable innovation. Our 2025 Public Interior Design winner, Aux Mille-Voix High School, pushed boundaries in Quebec’s educational infrastructure with an innovative inner courtyard design that strengthened community connection. For 2026, we’re seeking projects that balance timeless principles with contemporary sustainability, whether through reclaimed materials, biophilic design, or spaces that adapt and evolve with their users.”

Founded by the creators of the Architecture MasterPrize, the INT Interior Design Awards was established to provide a dedicated, inclusive, and international platform for interior designers. The program celebrates projects that successfully balance aesthetics, functionality, and human experience, while recognizing innovation across diverse typologies and contexts.
