Other highlights on the shortlist include a 17.6-square-metre flat, a tech company's headquarters housed inside a century-old bank and an egg-shaped sauna.
The shortlist was selected from a longlist of 259 interior design projects, by a panel of judges that included Patricia Urquiola, Sevil Peach, David Rockwell and Werner Aisslinger.
Projects were assessed on whether they are beautiful, innovative, and beneficial to people and planet.
The winner of each category will be announced online in mid-October and will go on to compete for the interiors project of the year title.
