About the Event:

In celebration of Detroit’s Month of Design, the International Interior Design Association - Michigan Chapter presents a special exhibition showcasing the award-winning projects from the 2025 MiDesign Interior Design Awards. This walkthrough experience at The Brooke, in the Hubbard Richard neighborhood, invites the public to explore how spaces shape the way we connect, work, learn, heal, and live—right here in Michigan. Through striking imagery and thoughtful storytelling, the exhibition highlights excellence in commercial interior design, a discipline that blends creativity, functionality, and human experience. From workplaces to healthcare environments and hospitality spaces, these award-winning projects demonstrate how interior design quietly, yet profoundly, impacts our everyday lives. By bringing these designs into public view, our goal is to bridge the gap between the design industry and the broader community—celebrating innovation, elevating awareness, and inspiring appreciation for the spaces that surround us.
