HKR International Limited (HKRI)in collaboration with strategic partnerHong Kong Designers Association (HKDA), presents the 4th edition of "PRI²DE Creative Camp" - FLEXhome+ International Interior Design Competition 2023.
Theme: Flexible and Multifunctional Homes
In the wake of the post-pandemic "new normal", interior design has undergone a transformation with the emergence of the "flexible home space" concept. As smart home technology and sustainable design practices gain popularity, having versatile, multipurpose living spaces has become a necessity. Contemporary families, especially millennials, actively seek residential spaces that seamlessly accommodate their desires for safety, privacy, and interactivity. These spaces can effortlessly transform from a cosy home to a work space, fitness zone, study area, children's play area, entertainment hub, or pet corner.
In response to this trend, this year's competition is themed "FLEXhome+", soliciting avant-garde design proposals from designers worldwide. Using a designated 600 ft² apartment floor plan with a two-bedroom layout, entrants will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity and create a "new normal" lifestyle with a smart and sustainable touch.
The competition is open to all for free, regardless of age, nationality, or profession. Entrants can submit their proposals individually or in teams of up to three members. Outstanding entrant(s) aged under 35 will be rewarded with a "Young Design Talent Award" for recognising their excellent, innovative work.
