The Idea Exchange Old Post Office has received an Honor Award—the highest recognition at the 2024 AIA International Design Awards in Hong Kong. The renovation project, located in Cambridge, Canada, was honoured in the Open International – Architecture category alongside projects from Denmark and Uganda.

The Old Post Office project revitalizes a local landmark and symbolizes broader advances in communication and fabrication technologies, reflected in the building’s transition from traditional post office to modern digital hub.
The project also received a Sustainable Future Award for its integrated and sustainable design, which promotes human health, energy efficiency, and stewardship of planetary resources.
