• Functionality & Space Planning: Measures how effectively the space supports cooking, entertaining and everyday living through thoughtful layouts, intuitive workflows and overall usability.

• Innovation & Originality: Recognizes distinctive ideas, creative problem-solving and innovative applications of materials, technology or design that set the project apart.

Entrants will be asked to submit floor plans or layout drawings, elevation or renderings, completed project photography, and a written design statement describing the project’s vision, inspiration and what makes it iconic, along with details on appliances used in the space and other personal and project information.

To ensure each submission is evaluated by the most discerning eyes in luxury design, Monogram has curated an exclusive panel of visionaries to serve on the inaugural judging panel, including: Richard T.
