HKIDA EDUCATION EVENTS 2012
INTERIOR DESIGN X AIR-CON CROSSOVER CONTEST – RESULT ANNOUCEMENT
Organized by HKIDA, sponsored by Fujitsu General, “Interior Design X Air-Con Crossover Contest” was successfully completed. Congratulations to Mr. Victor Serrano as the winner for open division and Ms. Wessely Tan as the winner for student division.

The objective of this contest was to allow interior designers to integrate air-conditioners, which most people believe to be something ordinary, into a part of Interior design. With the aim to encouraging more young local interior designers to come up with more innovative designs and, at the same time, obtaining the opportunity to better connect to market-reality, this contest attracted over 200 entries. The submissions showed that professional designers and students have thoroughly understanding of how air-conditioners can be integrated into interior design master plans.
