It is said that in moments of crisis some fold and some flourish. I would say that we at Dochia have definitely flourished!!

From international awards and recognition to a 300% increase in our followers across all social platforms, from accolade development projects to luxurious residences, we’ve had a prolific and accomplished design year!

Many thanks to my wonderful team that does not cease to amaze me with their dedication and impeccable performance and to Chris, Peter, and Andrew for providing the wonderful project photography that you’ve been enjoying on our website and social media.

2. Winning the IDA award, awards, and glory galore!

By far one of the best ego-boosting and mood-elevating experiences is winning an award and international at that. We’ve been so humbled and grateful to share the winning podium in the annual International Design Competition in L.A. with global design icons such as Emilio Pucci, Alexander McQueen, and Karim Rashid!

4. Published work in Reno and Décor, Acmo, Condo Life

If you’re following my blog or any of the social media segments I do, you already know by now that I have a lot to say about design and life. This year it’s been an honour to continue my collaborations with Reno and Décor and Condo life and have the opportunity to have more than 5 articles published in their print and online editions. To add to that, this fall I’ve written a nifty article in ACMO’s quarterly on fraud in condo renovations – read it and beware!

5. Accolade projects in the residential high-rise development sector

It feels like yesterday when we started to expand into multi-unit condos and I cannot say that we are newbies in the high-rise world anymore. After more than ten years in the sector and with over fifteen high-rise projects in the GTA we’re starting to get noticed and it will only go up from here! Stay tuned for all the cranes raising in the city with our name on it!

6. Luxurious home interiors

My team and I create refined and comfortable interiors by buildings beautiful connections between people and their surroundings. With homes between 4,000sf and 15,000sf, the value that we add to the quality of living is tangible and noticeable. The luxury of today is living a healthy life in a healthy home that makes you the best person you can ever be. Don’t kid yourself that you’re home has no powers over you -now, more than ever.

9. My YouTUBE channel is in its toddler phase:

Adriana Mot, interior designer at large

I don’t know about you, what you did with your year of covid if you’ve learned something new if you’ve grown professionally or personally. I hope you have not squashed your dreams under the pressures of the times – and if you did, it’s not too late to up yourself from that!

I for one I decided to join the YouTube family where I will show you how I imagine the spaces that I design, how I use travelling to boost my mind, what I think about the things important in life, and what is it that I value.

Check it out here and please subscribe if you like what you see, help me reach my next goal of 200 subscribers!

And it is with proudness that I write you that we will continue to do so. Visit our website HERE and let me know what you think.
