BCI Asia IDA 2022 – Winners & Merits

The definition of interior space has changed since the health crisis deepened its reach into our daily lives. How we look at interior space will never be the same again, not just in terms of function, but also cleanliness and hygiene.

The lockdowns and restrictions have forced us to re-evaluate our relationship with the spaces inside our homes, offices, shops, schools and other facilities. It has called into question how much space one could occupy; how much space is enough and how much space can we live with? It has become increasingly less about the core functionality of one space, but rather the fluidity of functionalities a space can have.

As such, BCI Asia Interior Design Awards (IDA) 2022 would like to call for ID projects based on how well a specific interior space is designed by size.

IDA 2022 asks ID professionals to submit their ID projects by the following three categories:

  • SMALL (S): maximum 300 square metres
  • MEDIUM (M): between 301 and 1,000 square metres
  • LARGE (L): above 1,001 square metres

We are proud to present the nine winners & merits of BCI Asia IDA 2022 competition:
