Atlanta-based ASD Inc. won the overall grand prize of $5,000, as well as an additional award in the Large Office category, for its interior design on behalf of Internet service provider Earthlink. Over the course of three months, the design firm used bold primary colors and geometric carpet patterns to transform Earthlink's 65,000-square-foot space in Roseville, Calif. into an interactive environment. The design team chose colors from Atlas Carpet Mills' Jaspe, Lacis and Positano.
Taylor & Associates Architects nabbed $1,000 as winner in the Healthcare category for its work on Hoag Breast Care and Imaging Center. The center collaborated with the architectural firm to create a more comfortable and sophisticated atmosphere in a windowless basement. The nine-month project used Lees Carpets' earth-toned Sisal Tile.
