Net-a-Porter by Studiofibre was seen as a very "elegant" project with "masculine" overtones. Alice Fung liked the merging of the distribution centres with the office workspace and noticed a "strong concept" running through the combined interiors of the Net-a-Porter group, which "clearly defined the brand." The project was admired for its stark monotone colour palette and shortlisted for the award.
The short list was hotly deliberated, and, as Alice Fung said, "the diversity of the projects entered raised some very interesting questions about what we consider to be a workspace, which has made the award interesting yet difficult to judge."
