COMO, CO, ITALY, November 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award, one of the world's most respected and well-recognized awards in the field of architecture design, has announced Masakatsu Matsuyama's "Global Crest Kita Omura" as a Silver Winner in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category. This highly prestigious recognition underscores the exceptional design and innovation demonstrated by the car dealership project, which harmonizes with its surrounding landscape while creating a unique and inviting atmosphere.

The award highlights the importance of creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally conscious spaces that enhance the customer experience and align with the evolving needs of the automotive industry.
