Styled Space Award
We’re not after the fanciest spaces — we’re drawn to the moments that are truly lived in.
A space you return to, shaped with intention, holding your everyday rhythms, feelings and mood — that’s the little universe we’re looking for.

The Way I Live Award
Rather than looking for those who simply knows how to “get through life”, but seeking those who “creates” life on their own terms.
Intercultural Living Award
Does your home move to more than one rhythm? Speak more than one language — in words, colors, or traditions? We’re looking for homes shaped by difference, and held together by love. If you and your partner, family, or housemates come from different cultures or generations — and you’ve created a shared space that feels warm, layered, and uniquely yours — we’d love to see how you live and the “art: you created.
Ageless Icon Award
Age doesn’t define you. Style never left you
Unbound by age. A style beyond compromise
If you’re 65+ and still shaping life with style, attitude, and imagination — this award is for you.
It’s not about “what you can still do.”
It’s about “how you choose to live.”
