CIRCLE Design Studio, a Roanoke, VA-based, full-service architecture, interior design, and general contracting firm, has recently made history by becoming the first firm to reach 50 awards at the prestigious Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEAS), hosted by the Virginia and West Virginia chapters of ASID and IIDA.
This September, the firm secured first place in the Showhouse category, for its design of, "The Manhattan" at Greengate in Richmond, VA, further cementing its role as a trailblazer in the industry. Since first entering the awards in 2009, CIRCLE has been recognized across 14 of the 18 different award categories.
Additionally, CIRCLE co-founder Theresa Dorlini’s new lifestyle and furniture brand, DORLINI | modern, made a remarkable debut, winning first place in the Custom category for her furniture prototypes. The brand's winning pieces, including the Sling Chair #1 and Structure Coffee Table, highlight Theresa’s dedication to blending elegant, functional furniture with a modern sensibility.
