The Local Project

The Local Project celebrates extraordinary design across a range of platforms, championing the best from industry leaders and emerging designers alike. After launching in 2016 with a focus on Australian architecture and design, we broadened our scope in 2019 to include New Zealand, and again in 2023 to encompass North America. Our print periodical features three titles – The Local Project, The Commercial Project and The Local Marketplace – and we recently launched our first hardcover book, 10, compiling highlights from our first 10 issues in print.

We are honoured to have been recognised twice at the Mumbrella Publish Awards; in 2022, we were awarded Best Use of Video for our video of James Stockwell Architect’s Bunkeren and in 2023, we were named Publication of the Year. Our hardcover book was also highly commended for Special Edition of the Year.

Our audience is a genuine cross-section of the design community, encompassing design-lovers and industry professionals. As such, we aim to inform, educate and inspire, exploring current questions, ideas and conversations through compelling and informed content. As we continue to grow, cultivating authentic and engaged communities is a vision that remains at our very core.
