FORUM's Interior Design Studio is proud to celebrate a standout achievement at the 2026 Aurora Awards, where Encore Echo earned the Grand Aurora Award, one of the program’s highest honors. This recognition reflects the strength of a design approach that goes beyond aesthetics to create memorable amenity environments with real market impact.
We are especially proud to congratulate Kelly Oliver, Stephanie Fontaine, Sarah Cox, and the entire Interior Design Studio for their talent, leadership, and dedication. Awards like this are a reflection of the thoughtful design solutions our team brings to every project and the high standard of work they continue to deliver.
In addition to the Grand Aurora recognition for Encore Echo, FORUM was also honored with finalist recognition across multiple categories in the 2026 Aurora Awards program. Integra Avalon was named a finalist for Best Interior Merchandising Rental Apartment or Condo (One Unit), while Encore Echo and Integra Towers were recognized as finalists for Best Interior Merchandising Community Amenity or Clubhouse.
Presented as part of the Southeast Building Conference, the Aurora Awards recognize excellence in building and design across the region. The 2026 Aurora Awards Gala was held at the Rosen Centre in Orlando, bringing together industry leaders to celebrate the year’s standout work in design, marketing, and construction Aurora Awards Gala.
We are honored to see Encore Echo, Integra Avalon, and Integra Towers recognized through this year’s program, and especially proud to celebrate a Grand Aurora win for Encore Echo. Congratulations again to Kelly, Stephanie, Sarah, and the entire Interior Design Studio on this exciting achievement.
