OUR TRIBECA TRANSFORMATION - NEXUS DESIGNS SHORTLISTED!

We are delighted our New York Tribeca Loft transformation has been shortlisted in this year's Australian Interior Design Awards.

Once a former wrapping paper factory, this fourth floor Tribeca loft, has been transformed into a sanctuary in which our client’s call home. Having previously worked with this savvy client on two Australian projects, our brief was to create a sense of ‘Australia’ amongst their busy professional lives and Manhattan location.

GOTYA IN THEIR SIGHTS!

Joseph Antonios, Emily Flanagan, Emily Bodey
(Sponsor – Design to Print) and Tomas Sabbatucci

Our Art Director Joseph Antonios was recently asked to be on a graphic design panel with Motherbird's, Jack Mussett and Principle Design's, Sash Fernando to judge the 2013 DIA VIC/TAS GOTYA. The GOTYA Award celebrates the best design graduates of 2012 from tertiary institutions in Victoria and Tasmania.

After a comprehensive process, four worthy finalist were chosen: Tomas Sabbatucci, Seviora Citra, Emily Flanagan and Andrew Robertson. Each designer then presented their ideas, thoughts and solutions to the judges. After a robust discussion between the judges it was decided that two graduates should be awarded the honour.

Congratulations to both Tomas and Emily who went away with the prestigious GOTYA Award at the ceremony last week. We wish them and their fellow finalists the best for their futures and look forward to seeing them out in the industry.
