WINNER: RETAIL INTERIORS (GREATER THAN 200 SQUARE METRES)Fangsuo Bookstore in Chengdu by Chu Chih Kang Space DesignChu Chih Kang’s initial proposal was centered around “The Secret Scripture Library”. Scripture libraries have been found either in or under Buddhist temples for centuries and have an extended meaning of stored wisdom in Mandarin Chinese. The team found significant historical connections to the site, such as links to Daci Temple and one of the most famous monks in Buddhism - Xuan Zang of the Tang dynasty.JUDGES’ COMMENT‘Fangsuo is designed to be a bookstore, but they have actually called it a cathedral “carrying wisdom, culture and attitude”. That’s a high aim, and yet they’ve managed to pull it off. It has this exciting feel about it that makes you want to explore and discover all the different floors.’

JOINT WINNER: RETAIL INTERIORS (LESS THAN 200 SQUARE METRES)1888 Certified by TomMarkHenry1888 Certified is a unique butcher in Double Bay. Their product is sustainable, grass-fed and hormone free. The clients being fourth generation farmers are authentic and steadfast in their sustainable practices. Therefore the interior had to align with this ethos, and help to tell the story of the producers, and it was important to the clients that their customers engaged with their story.JUDGES’ COMMENT'It’s beautiful and elegant; I particularly like the choice of marble that looks like the marbling on meat, and yet it elevates it and makes it rather special. The display of all the knives is arranged so beautifully that you would be tempted to go in to see the "poetry of butchering" for yourself.’

JOINT WINNER: RETAIL INTERIORS (LESS THAN 200 SQUARE METRES) Importance of Walking Store by Praxis d’ArchitectureAn unexpected situation with the lease required the design for the space to be as economical as possible and fast to build. Furthermore, the shoe shelves were intended to be self-supporting, movable and ready for re-assembling. Effectively an independent piece of furniture, the installation could be moved easily and with minimal wastage. JUDGES’ COMMENT'It’s notoriously difficult to display shoes, but the storage system they have used does the job and makes the space dramatic and dynamic at the same time. Using a simple stepped element is a designed piece that can be easily manufactured and installed and has created a unified environment that is both flexible and incredibly exciting.'

JOINT WINNER: HOTELSPuro Hotel by OHLABPuro is an iconic 22 room boutique hotel located in the heart of La Lonja, in the historical centre of Palma.Adapting itself to the different existing buildings, the hotel has an irregular configuration. The refurbishment project by OHLAB takes advantage of that complexity as a potential tool to generate unexpected and unique spaces where each room is different from the next. The selection of natural and local materials emphasizing the Mediterranean essence has been very important. JUDGES’ COMMENTS‘Small in scale, this is a contemporary design hotel within an 18th century palace in the old town of Palma de Mallorca. The team at OHLAB have managed to magnificently plan a rather difficult series of existing spaces with refreshing variety whilst pursuing design distinction in all aspects of the bespoke interior details. The resulting palette of natural material choices, soft neutral colours and innovative details is simplistic and effective in equal measure.’

JOINT WINNER: HOTELSThe Hoxton Amsterdam by NicemakersWith each new project a local team is appointed to ensure that the local city character is captured. To make sure the project is given the right energy and that the right balance between public spaces and hotel rooms is achieved, the interior designers were involved at an early stage. Without a standard set of requirements, the designers had creative freedom, with the only objective to ensure a homely feeling throughout. This maintained the essence of The Hoxton identity while offering a true taste of local culture.JUDGES’ COMMENT‘An adaptive re-use, sympathetically and innovatively designed by the team at Nicemakers. Created by connecting five 17th century canal houses, the design team showed great talent in blending the historic elements of the building and a measurable sense of place and flair in modernising the interior design’.
