Sub-Zero and Wolf have crowned the winners of their revered 2022-2023 Kitchen Design Contest, celebrating three Australian design firms among the Global Winners. Adrian Amore Architects, FGR Architects and Rob Mills Architecture and Interiors, each respectively based in Melbourne, were honoured at the Winners’ Summit and Gala on October 14th, a culmination of the annual event that recognises the most accomplished works in kitchen design.
In the Contemporary Kitchen category, Hawthorn East House by Adrian Amore Architects claimed the First-Place prize, distinguished by its sleek and deft architectural intervention. FGR Architects received Third Place in the same category with Concrete Curtain, a design that blurs the boundaries between structure and art. While, Rob Mills Architecture and Interiors were awarded Second Place in the Transitional Kitchen category for Melbourne Residence, a kitchen that amalgamates classicism and contemporaneity.
“It’s deeply fulfilling to witness the remarkable talent within Australian design reaching the global stage,” says Andrew Mumford, Managing Director of Sub-Zero Group Australia. “Our industry is teeming with inventive professionals whose work continually elevates the calibre of architectural and design excellence.”
