Design Thinking big but living in the small by John R. Portelli “Award for Interior Design Projects - open to projects by periti and interior designers, with particular emphasis on the interior of all types of buildings. As already remarked this category was the most popular and covered a wide range of building types ranging from apartments, to small retail outlets, to commercial buildings and offices. The Jury was impressed by the high standard of the various projects submitted.” “The Award went to PERITI SARAH CALLEJA and ALEXIA RAUSI for their design of the Photo City shop in South Street, Valletta. In the Jury’s opinion the overall winner is the highly imaginative and creative use of space and materials in a very restricted space of a retail outlet in Valletta. The limited size of the space, rather than being a constraint, became an opportunity for the architect to excel.” Malta Architect Awards 2016 - Jury’s citation DESIGN&BUILD Q 2 , 2017 59
