Designverse Awards 2023-2024 - Jury Grand Prize

Back with an update of BLOX Copenhagen!

We are glad to see that a project from 2018 continues to impress and attract readers worldwide.
We’ve been awarded with the Jury Grand Prize at the Designverse Awards 2023-2024 in the category Landscape Design – Playgrounds! It’s encouraging that design prizes today are giving more attention to the topic of play as a key component in the public space. For us, this is a great achievement!
