Award: Emerging Interior Design Practice
Ryan Russell for Left
Jury Citation
The jury felt that the practice philosophy represented an exemplary position of an emerging interior design practice – a position that embraces risk, explores inter-disciplinarity and yet maintains sensitivity for inhabitants as paramount. This brave and experimental approach to design was manifested beautifully in the resulting work which displays consummate command of form and juxtaposition of existing rugged structure with a contemporary, crisp insertion. Evidence of cost control and use of sustainable resources also revealed excellent management and ethical understanding for such a young practice.
