These Award winning interiors offer pure grandeur and opulence
The ARIDO Awards Gala continues to be the industry’s premier design awards event in Ontario. We are thrilled the ARIDO Awards will return to an in-person format this year on October 5th, 2023!
To continue our celebration of the 40th ARIDO Awards, this week we are looking back at some lush and luxurious Award-winning interiors designed by Registered Interior Designers.
California cool meets British eclecticism in this serene resort
For their 45 room resort venture, the clients envisioned the modernity of California beach houses with British eclecticism.
Allowing the cliffside topography, climate, and budget to dictate the strategy, the client’s personal preferences of roomy bathrooms, luxurious bedrooms, and exterior sitting areas guided the details.

Luxury meets durability in this glam Toronto home
This existing 5,000 square foot luxury condo was renovated for downsizing clients who love to entertain but also wanted to make sure they have space to host family. The clients sought luxurious yet durable finishes and furnishings throughout, because of their desire to host grandkids.
They selected treasured art and antiques to bring, and asked they be incorporated in the design, and wanted a beautiful space for their wine collection.

ARIDO Award: Cavana Ridge Spa
Our team’s mandate was to transform a run down, vacant water testing facility in the countryside into a luxurious, comforting spa.
One of the main challenges we addressed was creating a seamless transition from the spa’s original location in Orillia, by designing an interior with the same character and charm, and added grandeur and opulence to entice current clientele to travel to the new location in the countryside.

ARIDO Award: Charlotte Street Penthouse
The design team transformed this downtown Toronto penthouse suite into a sophisticated home that aligned with the client’s tastes and busy, modern lifestyle.
The designers' strategy was to completely renovate the suite and establish a simplified, contemporary home that was warm, welcoming, and inspired by a refined-masculine and sophisticated aesthetic.
