The Design Excellence Awards are an important platform that highlights the exceptional interior design work that is occurring in the Pacific Northwest.

Thank you to all of the designers who submitted inspiring projects and to those whom attended the Awards ceremony last Thursday. This was the inaugural year of online voting for the People’s Choice Award, and we are pleased to share that over 3,471 votes were cast from locations spanning the entire United States! The winning project (find out more below), received 1,418 votes! We are thrilled to see local interior design work being shared nationally, thank you for your help spreading the word.

Winners from the 2014 first Student Design Charrette that occurred last Spring were also announced, along with details for the upcoming 2015 Charrette on February 21st. The IIDA Oregon Chapter will host a local event and advance the winners to regional and national events. See photos of the winning student teams below and look for more details soon!

The winning projects will also be posted at iida-or.org and on the IIDA Oregon Chapter’s Pinterest board for continued sharing and promotion.

The Awards Ceremony concluded with a surprise charitable donation from the winning firm of the People’s Choice Award to The Dougy Center, the project client of the Against All Odds Award. What a heartwarming end to a great evening celebrating the power and impact of professional interior design!

Don’t forget to save the date for the Design Crawl in April 2015, when three of the Award-winning spaces will be selected for a guided tour!

Please join us in congratulating the designers and project teams of all of the award submissions!
