Caeserstone is asking interior design and architecture students to design a space which reflects “the range of what our lives are about” for the 2011 Caeserstone Design Awards, which boasts a prize worth R50 000.
The 2011 brief was conceptualised by Janina Masojada of DesignWorkShop:SA. Caesarstone’s design brief for the 2011 Award is to conceptualise a single space of mixed use and multi-functionality; a place to sleep, eat, live, work and ultimately express our souls.
The design proposal is to reflect a limited palette of materials in both external form and enclosure and in the internal fixtures and fittings. As always, the prize for the winning student and lecturer is a comprehensive five-day trip to Caesarea, Israel – the home of Caesarstone – valued at R50 000.
The judges who will choose the winning design are Jonathan Anstey of Stauch Vorster Architects, Darren Bester of It Is Design, Janina Masojada of DesignWorkShop:SA, Sonja Petrus Spamer of SPS Architects and Lisa Younger of Activate Architects.
