The judges, eleven leading architects and designers, selected this year’s winners in ten categories from a slew of standout submissions. Winners were announced at the third-annual GRAY Awards party on November 20.
White streamers were flowing on Wednesday, November 20, as the winners of the third-annual GRAY Awards were announced in ceremonious fashion at Seattle’s National Nordic Museum.
The cross-disciplinary awards program invited the best and brightest in the fields of architecture, interiors, design, and fashion to enter their work for a coveted opportunity: to be honored at the party of the year as one of the most exciting practitioners in design today.

Together, they selected winners in the GRAY Awards’ 10 categories, listed below
