Design Matters National Commercial Interiors Winner 2025
On behalf of the EMVY Design team and all those involved in bringing this project to life, we’d like to express our sincere appreciation to Design Matters National for acknowledging our work on this exciting development.
Cedar Cutters Sports Bar, located on the beautiful South Coast in Kiama, marks a significant upgrade to the Kiama Leagues Club. EMVY Design recently revitalised an underutilised basement space, transforming it into a vibrant and practical commercial venue that adds a unique sports bar experience to the club’s offerings.
The interior palette features elegant tones of salmon and eucalyptus, paired with striking marble and brick textures. These carefully considered design choices, rarely used within typical club environments, have helped cultivate a warm and inviting setting that encourages conversation and connection.

EMVY Design BDAA Commercial Interiors Commendation 2025
We’re delighted to share that EMVY Design has been recognised by the BDAA for excellence in Commercial Interior Design. A huge thank you to everyone who played a part in bringing this bold and energetic workspace to life.
This award-winning office interior design in Wollongong was created for a progressive real estate brand redefining its presence in the industry. The result is a vibrant, unapologetically pink space that captures the client’s fearless spirit and youthful energy.
The design features a custom colour palette with bold pinks at its core, delivering an unforgettable first impression. Bespoke joinery, statement lighting, and a carefully planned layout support both productivity and collaboration, blending playfulness with professionalism.
Every finish was chosen to balance aesthetics with function, creating a workspace that inspires creativity, connection, and confidence.
We’re honoured to have this project recognised — a true reflection of the vision, collaboration, and passion behind every EMVY Design interior.

EMVY-Design-BDAA-New Residential Building Commendation 2025
We’re incredibly honoured to share that our latest residential project has been recognised by the BDAA. On behalf of EMVY Design and everyone involved in bringing this home to life, we extend our heartfelt thanks for this acknowledgment. It’s a wonderful moment for our team, our collaborators and, most importantly, the family who now calls this place home.
This bespoke house in Wollongong has been thoughtfully crafted to follow the natural slope of the site, embracing the surrounding landscape rather than imposing upon it. The composition of tiered levels allows the home to nestle comfortably into its environment, continuing the modest and unassuming character of the original dwelling.
A standout feature is the hit-and-miss brick wall framing the street-facing façade. This element enhances privacy without compromising openness, allowing filtered light to soften the entrance and create a subtle sense of invitation. From here, a custom blackbutt timber door opens to a central spine anchored by ocean views, ensuring the landscape remains central to the experience of the home.
Adding a playful and personal touch, a vibrant yellow spiral staircase offers an unexpected vertical journey through the space. More than just a circulation element, it reflects the family’s dynamic energy and brings a moment of joy to everyday movement.
We’re deeply proud of this project and grateful to be recognised for the design outcome. Thank you again to the BDAA, our collaborators, and our clients for trusting us with their vision.

2024 National Gala Award Winner for Commercial Interiors
Cedar Cutters Sports Bar – Situated along the stunning South Coast of Sydney, Kiama Leagues Club underwent a recent transformation by EMVY Design. The objective was to convert a previously unused basement within the licensed club into a functional commercial area, in order to enhance the club’s facilities by introducing a distinctive sports bar.
The chosen colour scheme of luxurious salmon and eucalyptus, complemented by the use of marble and brick, represented a deliberate selection of materials not commonly seen in such settings. This resulted in the creation of a captivating and exclusive atmosphere, encouraging social interaction and dialogue.
