Celebrating Design Excellence: The SBID Awards 2024, and The Cromlix Bar

The Society of British and International Interior Design (SBID) Awards 2024 is fast approaching, and this prestigious event continues to spotlight the finest in design and craftsmanship. As interior designers, architects, and design enthusiasts prepare for another year of outstanding entries, one theme remains at the forefront of high-end projects—bespoke custom joinery. Among the stunning spaces shortlisted this year, one particularly elegant project stands out: The Cromlix Bar, an exquisite space that masterfully combines luxury, tradition, and modern craftsmanship. A project that Harvey McLean was proud to be involved with.
The Cromlix Bar

A Masterpiece of Joinery and Design

One of the standout projects this year is The Cromlix Bar, part of the renowned Cromlix Hotel in Scotland. This luxurious country house hotel is a haven for elegance, and the newly redesigned bar is no exception. The space exemplifies how bespoke joinery can transform an interior into a refined and welcoming environment, perfectly fitting its surroundings.

 

At the core of The Cromlix Bar’s allure is its use of handcrafted joinery, which highlights the rustic charm of the Scottish Highlands while offering a modern twist on traditional aesthetics. The bar's custom-built features, including rich wood paneling, intricately designed cabinetry, and beautifully carved elements, make it a focal point of the hotel. Each piece of joinery was carefully crafted to complement the room's classic architecture, while ensuring that the space remained functional and inviting.

 

Not only does the Cromlix Bar reflect the heritage of its location, but it also embraces contemporary design, blending the old with the new. The use of local materials, sustainable practices, and time-honoured craftsmanship in the joinery work ties the space to its roots, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury that is both timeless and modern.

BCO Awards

The winning projects at the BCO Awards offer valuable insights into current trends in office design.

Some of the key trends highlighted by this year's winners include:

Flexible Workspaces: Many of the winning projects feature flexible work areas that can be easily adapted to suit the changing needs of modern businesses.

Biophilic Design: A focus on incorporating natural elements into the workplace, such as greenery and natural light, to create a more inviting and productive environment.

Wellness and Sustainability: Several winning projects prioritise employee wellness and environmental sustainability, with features such as wellness rooms, bike storage, and energy-efficient design.

As our work culture evolves, so does the design of our office spaces. The BCO Awards offer valuable insights into the future of office design, emphasising the significance of flexibility, sustainability, and employee well-being. Recognising this trend, the importance of bespoke joinery becomes increasingly evident, highlighting the need for a trusted supply partner capable of realising the design vision.

 

We really enjoyed the afternoon celebrating the very best in office design and innovation, seeing first hand, projects that are redefining the workplace experience. As we look to the future, these award-winning projects offer valuable insights into the trends that will shape the offices of tomorrow, and we can’t wait to be there supporting these innovative designs and concepts.
