We look forward to the Design Awards every year. After three decades of poring over cutting-edge designs and functional, beautiful spaces, we still manage to receive entries that amaze, delight and impress our judges. This year, we looked through more than seventy-five entries in ten categories, submitted by local architects, designers and builders— some new, some familiar, all talented and bringing just a little more functionality and harmony to our homes, businesses and public spaces.
The submissions were reviewed by our talented judges:
Janice Randall Rohlf, a longtime publishing professional based in New England who specializes in architecture and design. She is the editor of New Hampshire Home magazine and has contributed to numerous regional and national publications, including Fine Homebuilding, Ocean Home, Northshore Home and New England Living.
Julia Bernert, an architect and founder of Westport, Massachusetts-based Clearwater Architects and critic at the Rhode Island School of Design who teaches architecture studios at Roger Williams University.
We hope that flipping through the winning entries will inspire you to add a dash of color or some softness to your living spaces. Here’ s to thirty years of living beautifully through design!
