We are thrilled to announce last week Lagoon, STRUCK, and WOW Atelier were honored at the prestigious IIDA B.E.S.T. (Brilliantly Executed Spaces & Thinking) Awards, taking home the “Play” category. It refers to spaces dedicated to entertainment, hospitality, leisure, and recreation. It honors projects that blend functionality with a fun, engaging, or relaxing guest experience.
The project is composed of three interconnected environments: Carousel Candy, a confectionary space; Peacock Parlour, an ice cream and gelato destination; and a central double-height Atrium that links both while guiding guests upstairs towards the two new social clubs Flirty Birdie and Carousel Club.
For generations, this place has carried the shared memories of families across Utah—summers, first dates, childhood traditions woven into its paths. This project was created to honor that legacy with full-tilt, unapologetic joy.
