The shortlist comes from a field of more than 170 entries across categories of Commercial Architecture, Urban Design, Interior Architecture, Residential Architecture, Heritage (Conservation), Public Architecture, and many more.
The winners of each category will be announced at the 2015 NSW Architecture Awards presentation evening on 2 July along with the COLORBOND Award for Steel Architecture which, like the award for Sustainability, is selected from across the entire field of entries.

"I believe the standard of architecture within NSW is historically high and this year's award entries certainly support that. I congratulate all shortlisted architects and thank everyone who entered and support the awards program and hope to see you all at this year's ceremony."The winners will then progress to the National Architecture Awards to be announced in November 2015.
