IDIBC Announces 2021 Awards of Excellence Recipients
Interior Designers Institute of British Columbia
Interior Designers Institute of British Columbia (IDIBC) has announced the distinguished recipients of its 2021 Awards of Excellence. Open to all Registered Interior Designers (RID) in British Columbia, the Awards honor individuals that have submitted exceptional interior design projects. This year, of fifty submissions, the jury selected four recipients of its Awards of Excellence, ten Awards of Merit, and Interior Designer of the Year.
“We are very pleased to recognize and showcase some of the outstanding talent among British Columbia’s Registered Interior Designers,” says IDIBC President Jennifer Heffel RID, and Principal at HB Design in Vancouver. “The Awards this year show a lot of softer elements overall. The textures, curves, and warm color palettes create a sense of calm and comfort. Now as we emerge from our cocoons, we appreciate these quiet, intimate transitional spaces. We are so proud to honor these designers.”
Adjudicators were Johnson Chou ARIDO, of Johnson Chou in Toronto; Marc Bherer APDIQ, of Desjardins Bherer in Montreal; and Valerie Gow ARIDO, Gow Hastings Architects in Toronto. Awards recipients were honored at the IDIBC Awards Presentation, streamed online on Nov 5, 2021.

A site for meeting and relaxing by day that transforms into a vibrant wine bar at night. This dark and intimate space, a renovation of the historic club’s former Billiards Room, has chalked up a double honor, receiving an Award of Excellence and Interior Designer of the Year, which recognizes the project designer whose submission is deemed by the jury to display the most outstanding interior design among all submitted.
