Public Choice Award

For ten years, Beta has been awarding quality architectural initiatives and projects in Romania, Hungary and Serbia. The international jury for each edition is made up of renowned architects, and the awards reflect our determination to promote authors and projects with a beneficial impact on the built environment.

For the first time in this competition, we have introduced the People's Award, through which we aim to improve the connection between architects and the general public, emphasizing the importance of architecture that directly addresses the values and needs of society.

We all live in and use the city and the spaces that architects design, so we want the Beta Awards to recognize the preferences of the general public. The Public Award is our way of bringing quality architecture closer to the general public and promoting those architectural projects that make us proud of the cities we live in. Each person can vote for one project in the categories of Built Space, Interior Space, Public Space, Graduate Projects and Research.

The public vote will be open together with the awards exhibition and will run until the end of the competition, when the project with the most votes will be awarded at the Beta 2024 Awards Gala.

Text presentation of the author/office in English

With works in various areas, but with obvious affinities in the residential one, we choose to approach each project in a way that pays tribute to the particularities of each user, often assuming a challenging architectural process. The typology of the different architectural language theat are chosen forces us to overcome our subjectivism in search of the harmony of each concept. Using the complex vocabulary of form, light, materiality, we want to define spaces worth feeling, experiencing, living.

Project description in English

LLUM - Studio with a Buffet is a space for people with many ideas, a space for creative and social activities, especially for those interested in the photo-video field. We’ve been on the same page with our clients right from the start and this fact allowed the concept to flow pretty fast. The brief involved setting up a space that is composed of a large room, the actual photo studio, which also benefits from zenithal light and a second workroom, the area where photo-video materials are post-processed. We chose to mix two types of furniture, custom and reused. The custom one is represented by a series of bookcases, which cover the need of storage space, but also become partitioning elements, separating different areas without interrupting the visual connection. The design concept is enhanced by the presence of old furniture, unique lighting and decorative objects, recovered and reused in this context. Raw materials, authentic elements plants come together to form a creative space.
