Among the winners honored with more than one award were: Alene Workman, who won three awards for a kitchen/bath design, for a residential space more than 3,500 square feet and for a singular space (sitting room); Alison Spear, AIA, who took home two awards for a residential design under 3,500 square feet and for her retail design of the Holly Hunt showroom in the Miami Design District; and Tessi Garcia, who earned two awards for a model home and for product design.
"Dacra and the interior design organizations outdid themselves," said Holly Hunt, award presenter and Miami Design District showroom owner. "The Midnight Affair brought together the entire Florida interior design industry in one big, exciting show of support and celebration."
