Award record

Professional Gold / Milan 2025

IIDA Award Milan 2025 · Italy International Design Award

One gold award confirms the project’s completeness from spatial strategy to lived experience.

The honor is not a label attached to a single formal gesture. It recognizes the project as a complete body of work: the order of viewing, the user’s rhythm of movement, the light on material surfaces, and the emotional register of the setting are judged together. The gold award points to a design practice able to keep concept, construction, and daily use aligned.

Spatial strategy

Circulation, scale, and visual order become a legible path of use.

Material language

Materials, light, and detail build a restrained yet recognizable spatial expression.

Functional value

Beyond form, the project continues to answer operational and user needs.

International voice

Clear completion allows the work to stand within an international award context.
