  • Coordination with specialist interior designers to align with the project’s emotional and functional intent

This project received wide recognition for its thoughtful execution, including:

  • Winner – Architecture Expo Interior Design & Fit-Out Awards 2016 (Best Fit-Out Project under €1 million)
