The SBID International Design Awards 2019 revealed its anticipated winners at a dazzling ceremony at the Grosvenor House in London’s Mayfair on Friday 25th October.
The competition this year was as inspiring as ever, with winning projects from the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Qatar, Poland, Barbados, Monaco, Japan, Indonesia, Brazil, Australia and more
All 15 categories are assessed by a technical panel, a public vote and a panel of leading industry experts, who look for outstanding examples of technical content and aesthetic creativity which ensures that all projects are assessed strictly on quality.
Now in its ninth year, the SBID Awards are regarded as the most prestigious accolades for interior design, and were recently accredited as the first interior design awards scheme to achieve GOLD standard by The Independent Awards Standards Council.
The Overall Winner Award is presented to the project that received the highest score after both tiers of judges choices, the public votes and SBID have considered the entries. This year the overall award was given to Mexican-based practice Roth Architects for their Uh May Residence in Mexico.
Uh May residence is a habitable sculpture of 3,7502, located in a property of 10 hectares in the middle of the jungle, only 30 minutes away from the iconic town of Tulum, in the Yucatán Peninsula. The house harmoniously blends in with the environment of AZULIK Uh May whilst also respecting and honouring the natural habitat that hosts it.
“Each year the SBID International Design Awards continue to grow from strength to strength” comments SBID Founder and CEO, Dr Vanessa Brady OBE. “With a sell-out ceremony and more countries represented this year than any other, it truly is held as the premier interior design awards by the global industry and SBID is proud to present it each year.
“This year’s Overall Winner demonstrates the seriousness in which the design industry at large is taking in the environmental conservation and project procurement “
