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.’

WINNER: RESTAURANTSOGGI by studio -gramThe brief was simple; the client wanted a bright interior, with a kitchen on show, a direct reaction to the moody, dimly lit spaces of the local hospitality scene. Oggi is a simple and subdued interior, with a playful personality, informed by the squares and piazzas of Italy. The repetition, the materiality and the formal nature of these outdoor spaces have all influenced the outcome. JUDGES’ COMMENT‘Oggi has an immediately recognizable Italian style of the period between the two wars. It has very soft geometry with a beautiful pared down palette of colours and an intimate section of alcoves. It also has a very bright and airy feel for such a long narrow space along with a long bar which you can imagine being full all the time.’

JOINT WINNER: FURNITUREJoist Table by Daniel SchofieldThe construction of Joist Table reflects the way timber floor joists fit into structural steelwork – the Ash legs fit into the beam and two bolts on the underside of the legs pull into each other through the beam, holding the structure together and giving it its strength. The glass then rests on top located on silicone pads to stop any movement.This allows for efficient shipping, easy assembly, great strength and a conservative use of materials whilst maintaining a clean and understandable construction narrative.JUDGES’ COMMENT‘A really clever, simple and scalable design that unusually adds something fresh to the world of tables. The constructional method leads into the design which is a nice touch as there is no conflict between how it’s made and how it looks. When those things come together it’s unusual and often leads to something becoming a classic.’
