The shortlist for BIID Interior Design Awards 2024 features homes and commercial spaces that utilise creativity and sustainability to make properties that are as kind to the environment as they are to the eye. Join us as we explore four shining Scottish designs that made the final cut for this year’s BIID Interior Design Awards.

Heckmann Design Ltd, Glasgow Tenement

Firstly, we’d like to welcome you into Heckmann Design Ltd’s Glasgow Tenement renovation, which previously featured in H&IS. As our features writer, Miriam Methuen-Jones wrote, “This home – a top-floor flat in a traditional tenement – is a love letter to Glasgow.”

Visual impact was curated through a warm colour palette inspired by Glasgow’s heritage. Functionality prioritised natural light and privacy, with bespoke storage solutions reflecting the tenement’s character.

Sustainability was also integrated through energy-efficient improvements and the repurposing of existing furniture, aligning with environmental goals.
