Following the success of the inaugural Daikin Designer Awards (DDA) in 2020, which coincided with Daikin Indonesia’s 50th anniversary, Daikin Proshop Indonesia is back with its second edition, running from May 14 to October 28, 2022.
Ching Khim Huat, President Director of PT. Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia, and Selvi Ani Yongnata, Manager of Daikin Proshop Indonesia, explained that the initiative aims to provide top-tier recognition to architects and interior designers for their outstanding work, while also raising awareness about the importance of indoor climate control. Air conditioning has traditionally been viewed by the public merely as a cooling solution. However, it plays a broader role in perfecting indoor environments by delivering comfort, clean air, and complementing the aesthetic appeal of residential spaces.
In collaboration with professional associations IAI Jakarta, HDII Jakarta, Magran Living, and Nava Park, the Daikin Designer Award 2022 will be evaluated by a distinguished jury panel comprising:
- Budi Pradono, IAI (IAI Jakarta)
- Alex Bayu Saputro (HDII Jakarta)
- Andry Mulyono (Magran Group)
- Hiroaki Niikura (Daikin Japan)
- Wengky Handono (Daikin Indonesia)
- Kimberly Ryder (Guest judge, influencer, end-user)
Unlike the first edition, this year’s program not only honors architects and interior designers who have incorporated Daikin Home Center into their built residential projects but also introduces dedicated architecture and interior design competitions. The architecture track features a conceptual residential design competition for Kimberly Ryder and her family on a 300–400 square meter plot. Meanwhile, the interior design track focuses on a conceptual interior layout for Kimberly Ryder’s residence located within the Nava Park cluster in Tangerang.

We hope this initiative continues to inspire architects and designers to excel, particularly in integrating indoor climate solutions that are not only functional but also deliver clean air and enhance overall aesthetics. (IML)
