Venice, 19 November 2018 - The three days that saw the conclusion of the prestigious international competition iDogi Awards, dedicated to Luxury and now in its fourth edition, ended yesterday. Twenty projects selected for the final, including “Relais Le Chevalier” by Elisabetta de Strobel, Interior Designer and Art Director of the Terzomillennium communication agency.
Architectural firms from all over the world have presented contract and residential works that perfectly represent the concept of Classic Luxury, the protagonist of the competition, but also the cornerstone of the company that organizes it, iDogi®.
Chosen for the "Classical Hotel Public Space Design" category, Relais Le Chevalier by Elisabetta de Strobel is the spokesperson for a renovation that has taken into account and enhanced a historic building, dating back to 1700, in the heart of Riga. To underline the study carried out to enhance natural light: the main objective was to illuminate a building that has spontaneous light only on one side, coming from the windows on the facade. There are no other sources of light, except for a small internal courtyard that has been repurposed as a winter garden, overlooking the glass balconies that lead to the individual rooms. To improve the amount of light, a 6-meter high wall of mirrors was created that emphasizes the light contribution from the foundations on the top floor.
"It is an honor for me to have been chosen among numerous international projects by a world-renowned jury," said Elisabetta de Strobel. "A unique company and competition of their kind, in the wonderful and evocative setting of Venice: this is an excellent opportunity to learn about and update on the best achievements related to the luxury classic, among experts who bring their philosophy into the world of high-end living ".
