To inform, educate and inspire, exploring current questions, ideas and conversations through compelling and informed content.

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, they broadened their scope in 2019 to include New Zealand, and again in 2023 to encompass North America. Their print periodical features three titles – The Local Project, The Commercial Project and The Local Marketplace – and they recently launched their first hardcover book, 10, compiling highlights from their first 10 issues in print.
