The Young Designer’s Award is our endeavour to raise industry standards and encourage design students to explore the sub speciality of residential design.
Young Designer Award 2021
- Our Ultimate Intervention
For many of our local colleges, the taught curriculum focuses on
commercial and hospitality design. At Design Intervention,
residential design is our passion. We feel that by crafting people’s
homes, their personal spaces, we can have the most impact: we can
literally improve lives.
