International Architectural Firm 5+design Wins Award at the 9th Annual Global RLI Awards
LONDON, UK (PRWEB) June 18, 2014 -- International architectural firm 5+design recently received a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Designer Of The Year category at the ninth annual Global Retail and Leisure awards, a prestigious ceremony hosted by the world’s only global retail and leisure magazine. The event was held at London’s Natural History Museum and began with a formal reception prior to honoring the evening’s winners.
“Jayne Rafter’s RLI Awards Dinner is a truly international event that is always a great pleasure to attend,” said 5+design partner Mike Ellis. “And winning this award there is icing on the cake. This is our first Highly Commended Award and we couldn’t be happier.”
RLI’s reputation for honoring industry innovators is extensive and celebrates the success of retail and leisure developments across the world. 5+design accepted the Highly Commended award with the knowledge that the award gives tribute to the designers who consistently and accurately deliver value to both businesses and customers. 5+design was also short-listed for two additional categories, Retail Leisure Destination of the year for its Cairo Festival City and the RLI Future Project 2014 for its Qiantan Retail Village in Shanghai.
The award further acknowledges 5+design’s commitment to creating highly cultivated destinations that incorporate modernity while remaining strongly rooted in a region’s local culture. This year’s award marks the third RLI win for the firm who will soon see several of its large-scale projects completed in 2014.
