Winner of the interior scholarship 2015

With Austrian Stefan Prattes, a male applicant has finally come out on top again as the recipient of this year's scholarship. His portfolio surprises with the clearly evident maturity in which he approaches complex questions from both a tectonic and conceptual perspective. Interior and exterior architecture are considered as inseparable entities. What unites both disciplines is the precise use of space, construction, light, and materiality. Impressing the jury, Prattes' design of a nomadic piece of furniture is just as reduced as it is original. In addition to his conceptual talent, there is also the sense that he has a level-headed attitude which is also demonstrated through the precise implementation and excellent presentation of his work.
