Judges' comments:

This is a home of impressive scale, in which the designer has created individual spaces with furnishing, art and design features which stand out rather than get absorbed in the space.

Central to the softening of the interior is the extensive use of curved elements, including substantial ceiling and wall mouldings.

While the general scheme is in muted colours, there are strategic elements of colour to provide highlights throughout.

TIDA International Interior of the Year

Michael Habachy Designs – Atlanta

Michael Habachy Designs was commissioned to work on the interiors in the very early stages of building 940m² custom home for a family of seven in the Tuxedo Park neighbourhood of Buckhead.

The husband and wife work hard and are extremely successful, and enjoy traveling, wining and dining, and entertaining, and wanted their home to be their sanctuary – like a luxurious retreat.

The clean and minimal look complement the home’s modern architecture, with a neutral palette throughout. The interiors are not only luxurious, but also organic and inviting – inspired by the owners'  favourite Aman resorts.

Judges' comments:

At first glance, what impresses in this home is the exceptional curation of its furnishings. But look closer and what really stands out is the degree to which texture has been introduced to create warmth and organic interest.

Plus clever design helps give the high-ceilinged main living spaces a more human scale.

Clara Lleal Interiorista – Barcelona

One of the challenges for the interior layout of this  house in the historic centre of Badalona, a city near Barcelona was to strategically place the sculptures created by the owner himself, artist and sculptor Juanma Noguera. 

The result is an Art Gallery house. 

 In terms of general aesthetics, the space has an industrial atmosphere, maintaining and recovering the building's original materials. 

Solid brick walls were uncovered, vaulted iron-beamed ceilings were respected, and areas with the original hydraulic cement floor were maintained.  

Additional materials also follow this industrial premise, concrete, black iron sheet, herringbone floor of recovered wood, and teak wood furniture to break the cold of the greys.

Thoughtful design and considered layered materiality have ensured a cohesive flow within the living spaces and clever zoning to ensure that the kitchen is the anchor and a place to gather and connect.
