Hyde Park Jewelers-Judges Comments

Bob Taczala: The exterior subtly nods to Frank Lloyd Wright and the Biltmore Hotel. The architect did a great job of continuing the vocabulary of previous design around the corner.

Adam Graham: The interior of the store is warm and inviting – great chandelier!

Sarah Read: I FEEL cool just looking at this store. From the chandelier to the "Frank Lloyd Wright feel, they have put together a store that I would want to shop in and be proud to tell my friends about: "Yeah, I shop there."

Todd Reed: The openness of this store and simple curves balanced with the array of complex textures is cool.

Katy Briggs: Their multi-media "Countdown" grand opening campaign was well thought out and beautifully executed – exactly what was needed to build anticipation for the arrival.

Michael M. Clarke: The socially responsible and generous profile of the owners adds to the mystique and allure of Hyde Park and invites participation.
