Congratulations to Newmarket business Crimson Education on Nuffield Street, for taking out the best Workplace up to 1000m² at the 2018 Interior Awards. These awards were held on Thursday 21^st June at St Matthew-in-the-City in Auckland.

This year’s awards received a large volume of entries, making the jury’s job particularly difficult. The awards were presented across nine categories: Retail, Hospitality, Workplace (up to 1,000m²), Workplace (over 1,000m²), Civic, Installation, Craftmanship, Emerging Design Professional and Student.

Jury convenor and editor of Interior magazine Federico Monsalve said, “There were some big recurring themes this year – wabi-sabi, remembrance and quietude – but perhaps most noticeable among them was Maoridom…."

The Award for the Workplace up to 1,000m² went to OPL for its design of the Crimson Education Office in Newmarket. The Jury was impressed with several of the designer’s choices including the perimeter-lining, ribbon-like piece that adds a sculptural element, the unique meeting pods and the use of clever, functional pieces.

They noted, “This office uses a delicate balance of hard and warm materials, muted and strong colours, simplicity and movement to represent an equally vibrant millennial and Gen Z workforce.”
