WORLD INTERIOR OF THE YEAR AWARD 2025 WINNER

At this year’s World Architecture Festival, we presented two Fractal Projects in WAF’s signature open-critique format, engaging directly with the jury and audience.

Following its category win in “WAF Interiors: Public Buildings,” the project FRACTAL CHAPEL advanced to the final stage of the competition: the presentation to the WAF Interiors Super Jury, consisting of Nigel Coates, Adrien Gardère, Johnny Chiu, Lucy Tilley, and Mike Stiff.

After a transparent and dialogue-driven evaluation, the FRACTAL CHAPEL at the University Hospital Graz was selected as the World Interior of the Year 2025 – the festival’s highest interior design accolade.

The official Super Jury statement described the project as “a welcome opportunity for expansive contemplation in the busy and often stressful world of a hospital.” The panel evaluated spatial execution, emotional resonance, innovation, and societal relevance.

In addition, the project MOSH Bar & Dinner in Bucharest, Romania, was also a finalist in this year’s category “WAF Interiors: Bars & Restaurants.”

Thank you to the jury, the WAF team, our collaborators, and everyone who contributed to this project.
