On a cool October night, Kitchen Infinity Atelier hosted the latest in our WL Design Talks series. After some great conversation over glasses of wine and appetizers prepared by Chef Mark Singson, the crowd settled in to hear from our 2023 Robert Ledingham Memorial Award winners Knight Varga. Our stars of the night shared their advice and ideas around how to solve that age-old puzzle—creating intimacy in an open-concept design—along with images of their award-winning work.

It was a great night to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones from the design community. Thanks to everyone who attended—and we look forward to seeing you at our next one in 2024!

All ticket sales proceeds went to the Salvation Army’s Harbour Light program.
