Let’s slip into the holidays with a good read, and bid goodbye to 2020 with a “hip hip hooray!”

Kick back, drink some nog, take a deep breath or two (or a zillion). You’ve earned it. As this most challenging of years winds down – and Designlines takes a break until January 4, 2021 – we’re leaving you with some of the most interesting stories we’ve covered to make your holidays even more inspiring.

The Designer of the Year 2020

This year, Superkül took the crown for its super contemporary and innovative private homes – and its cool additions to the city’s public realm, too.

White Heat

Johnson Chou and Silke Stadtmueller’s Woodbine Heights home is a visual marvel, despite a near-total absence of colour.

Right Angles and Living Lab

Two ambitious and heartwarming tales of four friends, three businesses and two loft homes – designed by Public Studio – on not-so-conventional Geary Avenue.

Entrants have until February 13th to submit their best work

It’s that time of year again! The 2026 AZ Awards is officially open for submissions. Recognizing international design excellence from the world’s top architects and designers, the 11 main categories are: Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, Urban Design, Experiential Graphic Design, Concepts, Emerging, A+ Award for Student Work, Social Good and Environmental Leadership. Last year, AZURE inaugurated the EMERGING Awards to celebrate up-and-coming firms established within the past 10 years in each of the four top categories: Design, Architecture, Landscape and Interiors. Plus, there are more Interiors categories than ever (including Retail & Hospitality, Healthcare, Workspace and Institutional) as well as one recently added in Design (Housewares and Tech Products) — and AZURE will publish its extensive longlist online ahead of the jury-selected shortlist, celebrating a greater spectrum of excellent projects.
