Across these fields, we have realised a cohesive body of work demonstrating fine grain detailing and quirk borne from a love of making.
Jury Citation
The jury was extremely impressed by Studio Shand’s interdisciplinary approach and the practice’s passion for combining objects, interiors and architecture into cohesive design outcomes. Established in 2020 by Benjamin Jay Shand, who studied architecture at The University of Sydney, the studio’s portfolio spans residential and commercial projects, as well as object design and sculpture. Despite only being in practice for four years, Studio Shand already has a strong identity and clear vision, which is very exciting. The jury unanimously agreed the practice has an extremely bright future.
