The Interior Architecture Award was established over 22 years ago to promote interior architecture as a unique profession by recognizing outstanding projects. For award purposes, interior architecture is defined as the space within a building envelope, including design of lighting, finishes and furnishings. The jury reviewed a wide range of projects completed between January 1, 2001 and May 1, 2006.
