GABO’s supplied 2022 project material describes its headquarters and showroom as an integrated design of products, space and brand identity. The project is identified as GABO GALLERY, with the design credit LEW & ASSOCIATES (里与外).
The 2022 APIDA record in the project material
According to that material and its accompanying images, GABO GALLERY received GRAND AWARDS, a Gold Award in the Workplace category, and Judge’s Choice at the 30th APIDA 2022 Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards. This page reports the supplied project material rather than a fresh verification of the organizer’s archive.
These are honours for the spatial design of the headquarters and showroom. They should not be read as awards or quality certifications for individual taps, showers or bathtubs.
Reading a space beyond a style label
The manuscript uses Eastern aesthetics and minimalism to describe the project. A practical way to explore those ideas is to look at relationships: the profile of a mixer against a basin edge, the contrast of a metal finish against a wall, and how the scale of individual pieces works within the room.
These are editorial observations for readers, not a statement of the judging panel’s reasons.
Old architecture and a new display setting
The source also discusses the adaptive reuse of an older building. This offers another way to read the project: which existing features were retained, how the new display elements relate to them, and how bathroom products become visible in that setting.
From inspiration to a project decision
A showroom can help establish a visual direction. A buildable specification still requires current model drawings, the configuration, installation conditions, maintenance access and written service terms. Treat the project as a design reference and confirm those details separately.
The source also mentions inclusion in a 2022 Chinese interior-design yearbook. This is a separate publication record, not a fourth APIDA award.
