M&C Saatchi Group HQ was award Gold in the corporate office under 5000 sqm category at WIN.

Woods Bagot ‘s work transformed three-levels of Transport House in Sydney’s CBD into a completely new space for the creative industry leader, enabling all its agencies to work in the same office for the first time.

Judge Dionne Ible described the project as a “great fusion between old and new. Airy and inviting (with) warm earthy colour tones.”

Two of Woods Bagot’s interior projects in China – Nanjing MixC and Xi’an Angel Children’s Clinic – were awarded Silver in the Retail & Consumer Design Interiors and Sports & Wellness Interiors categories.

Nanjing MixC was described as a striking shopping centre where old meets new. Judge Koldo Gil commented that the retail hub is “very on trend” in every respect.

Beautiful simplicity with lovely ideas that create a wonderfully bright, fun, interesting and relaxing space, is key to the success of Xi’an Angel Clinic according to judge Melissa Byers.
