2025 IIDA INTERIOR DESIGN COMPETITION⁠ WINNER – BEST OF COMPETITION⁠

At Revel in Design on June 8, 2025, in Chicago, all winners of the IIDA Interior Design Competition gathered to celebrate outstanding achievements in interior architecture. Among them, FRACTAL CHAPEL at the State Hospital Graz was honored with the evening’s highest distinction: the Best of Competition award.⁠

Selected from all 12 category-winning projects, the award recognizes design that responds to context and purpose with clarity and depth. The jury praised the project for its “smart and simple material use to create an inspired solution” and its “intentional placement of light” that evokes “a heightened serenity and quiet sanctity throughout the modest chapel.”⁠

Receiving this award was a deeply meaningful moment. It affirms the essence of what we strive for in our work and reflects the deeper intent behind each design decision.⁠

On behalf of INNOCAD, Martin Lesjak accepted the award in person, joined by Dr. Anastasija Lesjak of 13&9 Design and Prof. Dr. Richard Taylor of Fractals Research, and celebrated alongside the other eleven category winners. Our heartfelt congratulations to all the remarkable projects recognized this year, and sincere thanks to the IIDA and the jury for this exceptional recognition.
