Amexon Development Corporation celebrates three international awards for Missoni Sky, its fashion-inspired collaboration with the legendary Italian design house. The project's presentation gallery has attracted global attention, winning awards in Paris, London and Toronto for its combination of art, architecture and interior design. The recognition underscores Amexon's growing reputation for design-led development, with Missoni Sky being the first Missoni-branded residential project in Canada.

At the DNA Paris Design Awards 2025, Missoni Sky's presentation gallery emerged winner in the Interior Design category, recognized for its integration of fashion and architecture. Conceived by Toronto-based II BY IV DESIGN, the immersive space offers a multi-sensory journey that brings Missoni's artistic identity to life through pattern, texture and light. Directors Dan Menchions and Keith Rushbrook accepted the award in Paris, where the jury praised the gallery's originality and the translation of Missoni's design language into a spatial experience.

Across the Channel, Missoni Sky received further recognition at the Society of British & International Interior Design (SBID) Awards 2025 in London, taking home the Best of Region award. The jury praised the project's visual storytelling and expressive presentation of its design vision, recognizing how the collaboration captures Missoni's signature energy in a residential context. The Toronto project competed with submissions from more than 40 countries and was successful at one of the industry's most prestigious events.

At home, Missoni Sky continued its winning streak at the Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA) 2025 Awards of Distinction, earning the title of Best Presentation Center. The award, presented during the annual gala in Toronto, recognized Amexon's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship in Ontario's residential construction sector.

The string of international awards highlights the creative partnership between Amexon, Missoni and II BY IV DESIGN, each bringing a distinct discipline to the project's unified vision. From the gallery's tactile surfaces to the layered lighting, each element is intended to reflect Missoni's celebrated use of color and form.
“We are delighted to receive these three awards,” said Ashling Evans, general manager of real estate development at Amexon. “They all recognized our shared vision with Missoni to create spaces that truly embody the Missoni spirit. It is pleasing to see this recognized by the international industry at large.”

Missoni Sky is slated to span 68 floors at 225 Jarvis Street and bring 972 residential and hotel suites to Toronto's King-Jarvis Design District. Designed by Core Architects, the tower's brick-framed podium will house boutiques, a restaurant and a hotel and flow into a glass-and-steel façade that tapers towards the top. Interiors weave Missoni's patterns and color palette into common spaces and suites, while landscape architects Cosburn Nauboris design outdoor terraces and lounges with artful plantings. Planned amenities include saltwater pools, gyms and gardens, complemented by solar panels, green roofs and electric vehicle-friendly parking.
The international success builds on Amexon's track record of award-winning developments. In 2023, The Residences at Central Park received the OHBA People's Choice Award for Project of the Year and was named Best Sustainable Housing Development in Canada at the IPAX Americas Property Awards.
