The Covet International Awards have one mission – to discover the most outstanding projects where design meets craftsmanship, resulting in luxurious, functional, and individual spaces that derive their richness from reviving ancient arts and crafts . Commercial , Hospitality , Residential , and Student are the four categories in the contest. To provide you with all the inspiration you need, we’re excited to share the winners of the 2018 edition. Let’s take a look!
Commercial
ASYA by PTang Studio Limited
Nestled in Jakarta, Indonesia, ASYA is a family-oriented and warm-hearted development centered around the concept of family ancestry. By using the family tree as a physical concept, various architectural elements flow through the space as lighting and partition features. The spaces are structured with interconnected components, featuring warm lighting and soft textures throughout to reflect the warmth and sentiment within the areas.
These physical details envelop visitors in a comfortable setting, reinforcing the sense of familial protection and nurturing. This creates distinct functional areas of open and enclosed spaces without making the space feel cramped. The Reception sculpture is an abstraction of a tree, symbolizing lineage.

Hospitality
Ascott Marunouchi Tokyo Japan by The Ascott Limited
Boasting panoramic views of the city skyline, Ascott Marunouchi Tokyo is conceptualized as both a literal and figurative lens through which guests can observe the dynamic movement and vibrancy of Japan’s metropolitan capital. Inspired by the harmonious relationship between modernization and local culture, the design combines minimalist principles with luxurious modern touches.
Trees, blossoms, leaves, water, and clouds—symbols of Zen philosophy—are adorning the walls and ceilings, while linear elements echo the surrounding high-rise architecture. Seemingly disparate elements come together to create a tranquil oasis amid the bustling metropolis.
The design journey begins as one steps from the busy street into a warmly inviting ground-floor foyer bathed in shades of brown, bronze, and soft gold. The elevator panels feature brown and bubble-filled blue glass, evoking a sense of fluid motion. As one ascends, the lighting shifts subtly from blue to white, signaling movement in the silent vessel, leading guests to the 22nd-floor sky lobby.
Deeply rooted in local culture, this theme is subtly integrated into the guest experience. The double-height lobby unfolds toward a breathtaking city view framed by lush greenery. A refreshing jasmine and tangerine aroma permeates the air throughout the residence. Subtle shifts in color and imagery on each floor reflect the four seasons—Spring on the 23rd and 24th floors, Summer on the 25th and 26th, Autumn on the 27th and 28th, and Winter on the top floor.

Residential
2GETHER Club House by PTang Studio Limited
2GETHER is a luxury residential development located along the south coast of Tuen Mun with stunning panoramic sea views of five bays. Convenient transport links, including Light Rail and Ferry Port, make this a perfect first home for fashionable young professionals. The interior design draws inspiration from the area’s active suburban vibe, creating a stylish and dynamic living space.
Upon entering the reception area, the lobby interior design highlights light, structure, and earthy neutral tones, accented with vibrant splashes of color to emphasize the concept of crisp natural living within a contemporary atmosphere. Geometric and abstract shapes among the vertical structures continue the forest canopy aesthetic, complementing the space for a comfortable yet cutting-edge vibe.
The entire communal areas have been carefully designed for tenants to use and view them as extensions of their private homes, fostering community pride and ownership. The multi-functional living and dining area is arranged in an open space layout without solid partitions. However, the large glass wine display case allows residents to embrace the social space for a variety of gatherings, from communal to more intimate events. The materials and visual language echo the earthy forest floor, with vertical elements reaching upward.
Students
Dio by N/A
In my design, Dio (God in Italian) is inspired by modernist architects and designers like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Gio Ponti. Using holy materials such as marble (Lapicida), wood (Talarico Hardwood), metal, and lights, I’ve created a modern luxury space unlike any other.
The art of designing with marble serves as the heart of the space, with veins that frame an intimate relationship between the users and the space. Exotic materials such as specially figured woods and antique boiserie bring back a long-lost era of unparalleled beauty.
Colored lighting reflects these materials, casting a wide spectrum of colors into the space, allowing users to craft their bespoke mood. Finally, metals and tinted mirrors create mass and volume, expressing divine tones across these spaces.
Style is eternal, and it’s the experience within the designed environment that reconnects us with joyous moments. The qualities designed to create a subtle rhythmic transition from one space to another present an intimate quality between the design and its users.
