An interior qualifies as Commercial if designed for public use or business operation. This includes all projects commissioned by a business, developer, operator, landlord, or organisation, where the end users are customers, guests, tenants, visitors, or the general public. This category encompasses workplaces, hospitality spaces, retail, leisure, public buildings, multi-unit residential buildings, build-to-rent amenities, co-living, PBSA, show homes, marketing suites, and all short-term rental properties.
An interior qualifies as Residential if it is an individual private home designed for specific, long-term occupants as their primary living environment. The brief must come from a homeowner or permanent resident, and the space must function as their day-to-day dwelling rather than for rental, commercial, or shared use. Only single houses or individual dwelling units fall under this category.
