A’ Design Award’s Call for Entries Deadline Fast Approaches

Looking for an opportunity to have your designs discovered on an international stage? The deadline to enter your work – or nominate someone else – for the A’ Design Award & Competition is fast approaching! You have until February 28th to make a decision and register here.

With more than 100 categories to choose from, your work may even qualify for more than one. A few favorites that we look forward to every year are the winners of Furniture Design, Architecture, Building and Structure Design, Lighting Products Fixtures Design, Digital and Electronic Device Design, Arts and Art Installation Design, and Office Furniture Design.

There’s an entire list of good reasons to enter, including the valuable jury feedback that all entrants receive. Entries will be judged by an international panel of scholars, professionals, and media members. Unlike other awards, A’ Design Award & Competition follows a peer-review process with anonymous voting and evaluation of entries.

A’ Design Prize winners are awarded a unique trophy and are included in world design rankings. Laureates will receive publicity, credibility, international awareness, an invitation to the awards gala, and so much more. They’ll also be granted space at the winners’ exhibition, where all of the prized A’ Design Award & Competition winners will be on display. Best of all is the opportunity to sell their design!

To help inspire your registration, we’re sharing a dozen of our favorite winners from last year’s contest. Stay tuned for when the newest winning designs are announced on May 1, 2024 – maybe yours will be one of them! Register here to enter the A’ Design Awards & Competition.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
