Voyageur Stays Achieves International Design Recognition

Published on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024 by Sierra Lange

Voyageur Stays is thrilled to announce that their recent renovation project The Medallion is in the top 3% of entries for the prestigious Dezeen Awards, which celebrate design excellence and innovation from architects and designers worldwide. From over 4,130 submissions from 82 countries, The Medallion has been selected as one of just 141 interior projects still in the running to become a finalist for an award this year.

The Voyageur Stays Team collaborated with Dutch designer Arno Hoogland during this project. The team wanted to prove that mid-term hospitality consumers would value a strong investment in design and handcrafted production. They also wanted to show that building things by hand doesn’t necessarily have to be more expensive than buying mass-produced items. They focused on innovative fabrication techniques including CNC robotics, plywood steamforming, laser cutting, and 3D printing. The Medallion is a true gesamtkunstwerk- all elements are designed in harmony with each other.

The team at Voyageur Stays looks forward to the announcement of the finalists later this year and are grateful for the opportunity to showcase their commitment to outstanding design and innovation.
