Considered as one of the most prestigious accolades in interior design and respected by the industry at large, success in this GOLD-rated awards programme is achieved purely for the quality of design, innovation, aesthetic and value-added to the project. The finalists in each category therefore demonstrate the highest standards of design excellence for interiors within their field, spanning commercial and residential design sectors.
Our project East Street Lanes was shortlisted by this year’s revered international jury for both its technical content and aesthetic creativity in the Club and Bar Design Category. The Club & Bar Design category is solely for club and/or bar interior design projects that can be permanent, temporary or pop up. Nightclubs, private members clubs and bars were all eligible. The judges paid particular attention to functionality, compliance and fit-for-purpose design.
Broadstreet Townhouse, a boutique city-centre bolthole offering eleven impeccably designed bedrooms, café by day and a speakeasy bar, The Blind Pig, by night, has been shortlisted in the Hotel Bedrooms and Suites Design Category. The Hotel Bedroom & Suites Design category is dedicated exclusively to bedrooms and suites within hotel interiors. Entries could include a full or part refurbishment, both new builds and restoration. Judges looked for high levels of creativity and innovation for this category.
Finally, William’s Food Hall, multi-award-winning fish mongers, delicatessen and seafood restaurant in the heart of Gloucestershire has been shortlisted in the Retail Design category. The Retail Design category covers all commercial interiors created for retail outlets including shopping centres, shops, showrooms, pop-up shops and art galleries. Projects can be a complete refurbishment or smaller commissions within these buildings.
Consistent in its quest to recognise, reward and celebrate global interior design, this year’s SBID Awards has been the most globally represented edition to date; receiving entries from 49 countries around the world. Entries from this category showcase talent from countries such as the UK, United States, Italy and China.
Each entry undergoes an exhaustive two-tier judging process, where leading industry professionals evaluate essential elements such as compliance with the brief, budget, health & safety and fit-for-purpose design.
The Judges decisions are finalised by the third and final stage of judging, where the public are now invited to vote for their favourite projects at www.sbidawards.com. Accounting for an influential 30% of the results, the public and ultimate end-users of design have the final say in which projects and products have what it takes to take home a prestigious SBID Award. With previous years seeing an astounding 225,000 unique voters, the voting will close on Wednesday 30th September at 5pm (BST).
