The bi-annual Interior Designers of Alberta Design Competition was held this past fall. The winners were announced in conjunction with this year’s Urban Encounters Table Top Trade Show, which took place in Edmonton Oct. 16 and in Calgary Oct. 24.
In all, there were 30 entries submitted in eight different categories. After a rigorous judging process, the IDA chose to honour 10 entries in five different categories – comprising two golds, five silvers and three bronzes.
Special congratulations are in order to CE DE CE and Cohos Evamy Integratedesign. Both design firms took home three awards – a gold and two silvers each. Says Connie Young, partner, CE DE CE, “We take great pride in acknowledgement from our peers. The projects certainly show the talent and diversity of our team, and the awards give us inspiration to move forward with passion and innovation.” Says Donna Clare, partner, Cohos Evamy Integratedesign, “We are extremely proud of our integrated team – the interior designers, architects and engineers. Their ability to work with our clients to create inspiring and beautiful spaces, while addressing the functional priorities, shines through on these exemplary projects.”
