DIALOG is proud to announce that we have been honoured by the International Design Awards (IDA) for our unwavering commitment to innovative design and excellence in architecture and interior design.
The International Design Awards is a prestigious global platform that celebrates outstanding achievements in design across a variety of disciplines. Established to recognize and promote design excellence, the IDA Awards draw entries from talented designers, architects, and firms around the world. Receiving an IDA award signifies distinction, showcasing a dedication to creativity, innovation, and sustainability in design.
This year, the IDA received thousands of submissions from over 80 countries. DIALOG was recognized across multiple categories, reflecting our dedication to creating impactful and meaningful spaces:
Gold Award: Cultural / Community Interior Design Educational Institutions
Completed in 2023 in collaboration with Smoke Architecture, the Centennial College A-Building Expansion celebrates the Mi’kmaq concept of “Two-Eyed Seeing,” harmonizing Indigenous wisdom and Western perspectives. The design inspires innovative thinking while allowing the building to be the primary storyteller. As Canada’s first LEED Gold, zero carbon, WELL-certified, mass timber, higher-education facility, it exemplifies an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
Silver Award: Other Interior Designs / Conceptual Interior Design Projects
Honourable Mention: Other Architectural Designs / Conceptual Architectural Designs

The University Health Network (UHN) Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) New Surgical and Patient Tower is a landmark 15-storey, 380,000-square-foot project that enhances Toronto Western Hospital’s status as Ontario’s top Neurosciences Centre and a leader in complex surgeries. Featuring 82 single patient rooms, 20 cutting-edge operating rooms, and progressive facilities, the design fosters positive experiences for patients, visitors, and staff. With calming, biophilic interiors, abundant natural light, outdoor spaces, and inclusive healing environments, the project reflects UHN’s commitment to comprehensive care and wellbeing.
These projects exemplify DIALOG’s core values of collaboration, innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. We believe every space designed should not only meet functional needs but also inspire and uplift the communities they serve while being mindful of environmental impact.
In celebration of these achievements, an awards gala will be held in Oslo, Norway this May 2025. The event will be a celebration of design excellence, bringing together industry leaders and visionaries from across the globe.
