Thank you to our 2022 winners and congratulations to our 2023 winners!
We are extremely thrilled to continue our Applicator of the Year Program into the new year, it is important to Calce Company to showcase the artistic and professional abilities of Applicators in the industry that should not go unnoticed. This year was no different, as there have been some sensational work decked out in Decorative Finishes. Therefore, it was a difficult choice to crown the Applicators for 2023.
Now the wait is over to announce our new winners.
Our NSW winner is...
Dope Deco
Who is Dope Deco?
Since landing in Australia in 2016, British lad Adam Slaughter has quickly made a name for himself as the go-to guy for specialty applications. Under the banner of Dope Deco, Adam has collaborated with some of Sydney’s most innovative designers and architects, calling on traditional techniques and modern application styles to deliver on their design vision. Adam loves working with Calce Company’s extensive range of products because there are literally so many textural possibilities that no two jobs are ever the same. Most recently, Adam worked with award-winning interior designer Nina Maya to create a variety of luxury finishes for her Pavilion House, including using Calce Company’s products to replicate the look of chiselled limestone when the original tiles planned for the job fell through.
