Exciting news out of Chicago, as the Embassy of Australia Washington D.C. has taken home both the Institutional prize and the overall 'Best of Competition' prize from the International Interior Design Association for 2024! Competing with 300+ entries from 18 countries, we are proud to be the first Australian firm to achieve this top honour. “Amazing layering of wood elements that, along with the thoughtful exterior, create a magical experience in each space through lighting and shadows. The wood tones, scale of the elements and furniture selections complement each other perfectly.” – Andrea Caputo, IIDA on behalf of the jury. Congratulations and thanks to all who have been involved over the 8 year journey.
