This maintains our great track record for these awards, with five winners, four highly commended, one commended and one shortlisted entry in the last ten years.

The Design Week awards were announced recently, and we were very pleased to see that we had scored an unusual hat-trick; dha design provided the lighting design for all three entries to be awarded in the exhibitions category. dha were the lighting designers for not only the joint winners (the Medieval & Renaissance Galleries at the V&A by MUMA and the Oculus at St Paul’s by Ralph Applebaum Associates), but also the highly-commended ‘Contemplating Monolithic Design’ by Barber Osgerby with Sony.

Congratulations to all three winners, and we were glad to have been involved on the projects.
