December 20th, 2007

Iken has launched the second Workstation of the Future design competition, due to be judged in August 2008.

Mathew Power, general manager of Iken, welcomed more than 100 guests to officially launch the initiative at the Iken showroom in Sydney, announcing the distinguished judging panel to include Brandon Gien from the Australian Design Awards, and Stephen Ballesty from property and construction cost consultancy, Rider Levett Bucknall.

Iken offers a unique opportunity for architects, designers and students with this competition – to conjure up the office of the future. Prizes include a trip to Orgatec, Cologne in Germany, and a visit to Okamura in Japan.

Since its inauguration in 2006, the award is recognised as one of the most exciting design competitions in the country.

Optimising the natural beauty of Chengdu, in central China, CCD has designed the Angsana hotel in a way that speaks to old school resorts with a horizonal plan stretching outwards from a central hub.

Spanning a site the size of a small suburb, the Angsana hotel design emulates the traditional Chinese courtyard architecture of the Qing dynasty. Typical to this style, functions surround a central courtyard while the accommodation is further out.
