Argo Contemporary Art Museum and Cultural Centre, a conversion of a 1920s factory in Tehran by Ahmadreza Schricker Architecture North (ASA North), beat ten other projects to win architecture project of the year, having won the cultural building of the year category earlier in the competition.

The judges said "it is a bold adaptive reuse of an historic structure in the centre of Tehran and proposes a purposeful future use, which is inclusive, which respects the past while being forward-looking and, as such, is a building that has a wider cultural and political significance".

Interiors project of the year was won by Émilieu Studio for its Ecole Camondo Méditerranée design school in Toulon, France, and secured its place in the final by winning the civic and cultural interior category.

The studio created a large-scale flexible learning space, only furnished with reused local materials. "This school sets a new example of how to approach design education, creating a sense of openness and mobility, which is what a school should be all about," commended the judges.

Design project of the year was won by Japanese startup Quantum for its reduced-weight foldable wheelchair Wheeliy 2.0, having previously won the product design of the year category. The wheelchair features yellow accents that act as visual cues and help those unfamiliar with wheelchairs to operate it intuitively.

"The current range of products available to this community is appalling. Wheeliy is a dignified design solution for an underrepresented group in society. This project was designed with inclusivity in mind and addresses a user group whose needs have been neglected for too long," the judges said.

The winners of the six studio categories – which award emerging and established architecture, interior and design studios producing the most outstanding work – were also announced at the One Hundred Shoreditch party.

Dezeen Awards project winners were announced two weeks ago and went head to head to win the overall project awards pictured above.
