DAAA Haus wins German Design Circle Award 2020

DAAA Haus is a gold winner of the German Design Circle Award in the ‘Excellence for Interior Architecture’ category for its Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour Hotel project.

Already a winner of many other prizes and awards, the luxury boutique hotel built in Senglea in 2017 is the flagship project of the studio, which this year celebrated its 10th anniversary with a series of initiatives. These included a gala party, a series of workshops with major universities and design talks, an exhibition with artisinal rugs designed by the studio and made in India by hand and the launch of a communication campaign designed to commemorate 10 years of design.

Cugó Gran Macina Grand Harbour is a historic fortress that dominates the port of Senglea. Built in 1554 by the Knights of St John, the Maċina has been a landmark for centuries. The building was converted by DAAA Haus into a luxury hotel over two years and completed in 2017. Today it houses 21 suites, ranging in size from 40 to 130 square metres.

The interiors are characterised by clean and essential lines, quality materials and designer signature furniture pieces. Contemporary design respects and enhances the historical structure.
