Eight winners, your People’s Choice favourites and two new Hall of Famers—see who’s shaping Western Canada’s design future.
Vancouver’s design crowd packed into Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware for a night of celebration: the 18th annual Western Living Designers of the Year Awards. From bold architecture to visionary interiors to extraordinary handmade creations, the evening honoured the designers redefining what life in the West looks like.
This year’s awards also included the WL People’s Choice winners (chosen by you!) and two new inductees into the WL Hall of Fame. Our international panel of judges had the near-impossible task of picking winners from an outstanding field—and the results speak for themselves.
Thank you to every designer who entered and to our judges for their care and expertise. And now, meet the visionaries who turned ideas into something unforgettable.
