Ideaworks x The Luxury Property Forum: Window Residency Competition 2026
Ideaworks and the Luxury Property Forum are pleased to announce the Ideaworks x Luxury Property Forum Window Residency Competition, an exclusive opportunity for LPF members to showcase their brand in one of London’s most design-significant locations.
Situated within the Ideaworks London Experience Centre on Great Portland Street, the residency offers a highly visible, curated platform.
The selected resident will occupy the window display for up to 4 months. Both physically, through a prominent street-facing installation, and strategically, by presenting their work to an audience of private clients, interior designers, architects, family offices, and many more
A Curated Platform in the Heart of Prime Residential London
Great Portland Street occupies a unique position within London’s design landscape, connecting Fitzrovia and Marylebone and serving as a natural meeting point for the architecture, interiors, and development communities.
The Ideaworks window is a space for creative and technical expression, hosting previous residents including WonderGlass, Mayfair Design District, Gareth Neal, Found, Mamou-Mani Architects and Fab.Pub.
As a company that delivers integrated technology rather than physical products, Ideaworks uses the residency to celebrate aligned partners and contribute meaningfully to the wider design and innovation ecosystem.
Through this partnership with the Luxury Property Forum, the residency is now being offered directly to its members, providing an opportunity to showcase ideas, materials, and innovation within a carefully curated environment.
The Opportunity
The winning entrant, or entrants, will be invited to design and install a bespoke window display within the Ideaworks Experience Centre.
The residency typically runs for three to four months, with residents given creative freedom to develop a concept that reflects their work and perspective.
The window itself is divided into three sections, allowing for either a single large-scale installation or multiple complementary displays, depending on the selected proposals.
Residents will also be supported through a collaborative marketing programme, including:
Promotion across Ideaworks and LPF digital channels
Feature content across web and social platforms
Direct introductions to relevant clients and partners
A co-hosted event at the Ideaworks Experience Centre
This provides an opportunity not only to present work publicly, but to engage directly with a highly relevant professional audience.
A Platform for the ‘Super-Prime’ Residential Community
The Ideaworks Experience Centre is regularly visited by private clients, client reps, architects, interior designers, and project teams involved in luxury residential projects, as well as marine and international developments.
The residency creates a physical point of connection between the creative and technical disciplines that define this sector.
It is both a public installation and a professional platform.
