WIN Awards 2016 - Emerging Interior Practice of the Year Category: Zooco Estudio (Madrid, Spain) Zooco is a young architectural firm whose philosophy is facing each project, from interior interventions to large structures, through the same creative process; to create spaces that give response to the needs and environment, always based on the generation of a clear concept as the base of the project. ‘Looking at the Perimetro House and the Modulor projects, one can see an ambition at the conceptual stage for how the volumes could interplay with the sectional play. That, combined with a courageous use of different materials, shows great promise for this young practice to develop still further in the future.’ JJ

A clear, effective presentation.’ TK ‘I very much enjoy their approach and work; a practice with a clear design direction and a distinctive yet versatile style.

WIN Awards 2016 - Interior Practice of the Year Category: Robert Mills Architects (Melbourne & Sydney, Australia) The practice is known for its substantial portfolio of bespoke residences, apartments and exclusive development projects built or planned in principal Australian cities. Rob Mills Architects and Interior Designers was established 25 years ago and today numbers 19 collaborators. ‘The work from this studio shows a real sensitivity and beauty. There are lots of considered details; these spaces have depth and a sense of permanence. There is also a real liveliness in the projects, a lot of that has to do to with how the light plays off the materials and the use of colour with just enough layering and level of styling to create alluring spaces - especially One Hot Yoga & Pilates studio which has a real lightness of touch.’ HCO ‘Lovely confident work that has a simple stillness generally but is not afraid of bold gestures - I enjoyed the blue room.’ TN
