The collaborative creation between ReardonSmith Architects and MKV Design, the 2025/2026 Kindling competition – entitled Sanctuary – invites A&D students to consider what hospitality spaces can offer to people who, for any number of reasons, have been displaced from their home or community.
Aimed at individuals and groups of students studying architecture, design, or a combination of both, the competition comprises of two categories – architecture or interior design – and seeks to highlight the vision, insights and creativity of tomorrow’s designers.
Students should propose schemes designed to welcome, nurture and help break down barriers, as well as to cater for the practical needs of those who are dislocated via buildings and interior spaces that provide a sense of home, a sense of place, and a sense of security. In short, a place where human dignity can be restored.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
