A&D Trophy Awards 2019

The winners of the 2019 A&D Trophy Awards were revealed in a gala ceremony in Hong Kong, with joint awards presentation with the 2019 A&D China Awards. 

The 2019 award ceremony took place on December 2 at ArtisTree in Taikoo Place, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong with the awards presentation for the A&D China Awards 2019 as well. There were a record number of entries to this year’s awards to cap another year of impressive achievements for design projects across the Asia region. The awards marked yet another ground-breaking development in the region’s leading architecture, interiors and product design competition. In attendance were more than 250 guests, including shortlisted award winners, judges, architects and interior designers, as well as board members from leading local architect and design associations.

ABOUT THE A&D TROPHY AWARDS

The A&D Trophy Awards (previously The Perspective Awards) were created in 2004 to celebrate excellence in architecture, interior design and product design across Asia-Pacific and beyond. For the past 15 years, with a strong network and widespread support from leading industry figures as far afield as Europe and the US, the A&D Trophy Awards have grown from humble beginnings into a competition which is truly respected by the community it serves, with a panel of expert local and international judges comparable with other awards shows globally.

"Overall, an excellent event. Please keep doing these awards – Hong Kong needs this." (Leon Jakimič, President, LASVIT)

What our attendees said about the A&D Trophy Awards 2018:

• "What impressed me about the event were two things. One is diversity. By this I mean the type, size and nature of projects but also the diversity of the entries. Among the winners were established professionals – people like SOM and KPF. But there were a lot of youngsters – one-man, two-men offices. There was diversity from all over this region of Asia – Singapore, Hong Kong, China, maybe Korea. The other thing that impressed me was the youthful spirit. There were a variety of entries, but the majority of them were really young professionals, young designers, young practitioners. You could feel the youthful spirit in their participation, in the quality and ambience of their work. And that is encouraging." (Rocco Yim, principal, Rocco Design Architects)
• "Congratulations to Perspective for holding these awards to celebrate excellence in architecture and architectural space design. I hope in the years to come that more colleagues, professionals and designers will join this event to make its impact even more far-reaching." (Marvin Chen, 2017-2018 president of Hong Kong Institute of Architects)
• "Thank you, A&D Trophy Awards. I’m extremely honoured and grateful for getting six amazing projects [recognised]. You’ve been an amazing support for our practice. Without you, I think we would not be where we are today. I’m extremely grateful, thank you!" (Lyndon Neri, founding partner, Neri&Hu and Design Republic)
• "We all had a wonderful time. Everything was just perfect – meeting old friends and making new friends, too." (Chong Chiu Fung, chief creative officer, Steve Leung Designers)
• "It was a great pleasure and an honour to win the awards. I can’t thank Perspective enough. It means so much to us as a firm. Perspective has been an iconic industry journal in Hong Kong for the 30 years I have been here and it’s just a tremendous honour to be a partner with you in this; it means a tremendous amount to our clients to have imagined such an incredible event. I’m sure there were over 300 people there." (John Sellery, group managing director, M Moser Associates)
• "It was a great event as usual and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think these awards are highly coveted as they are about built projects rather than renders. They are serious and important awards." (Viraj Chatterjee, founder and design principal, One Landscape Design)
