ARRCC, a South African interior design studio, has recently gained global recognition for its triple award win for Best Residential Interiors standing alongside design giants like ZAHA Hadid and Neri & Hu. These three prestigious awards, WAN EMEA, Architizer, and Rethinking The Future saw hundreds of submissions from over 60 countries globally.
“Being recognized alongside major global names is a tremendous honour for ARRCC and South African design as a whole. These awards serve as both a benchmark and an inspiration for future projects. It pushes us to continuously raise our standards and strive for even greater innovation and creativity.” said Mark Rielly, Director of ARRCC.
