Denver, Colorado, Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fentress Architects is the only US firm to become a finalist in the Public Space Design category of the SBID International Design Awards 2018. The SBID Awards are regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in the interior design industry, representing talent and design excellence across all corners of the globe.
