F9 Productions Wins People’s Choice Award at Design In Bloom 2026
Denver, Colorado — F9 Productions Inc. is proud to announce that the firm’s entry in Design In Bloom 2026 was awarded the People’s Choice Award, earning recognition from hundreds of attendees at one of Colorado’s premier design events.
Hosted annually by Modern In Denver, Design In Bloom brings together leading architects, interior designers, builders, artists, and creative professionals to create innovative floral installations inspired by architecture and design. The event has become one of the most anticipated gatherings within Colorado’s design community.
F9 Productions was invited to participate in the 2026 competition and entrusted the project to Project Architect Rohs Heck and Lead Interior Designer Sarah Althoff. Working collaboratively, the two led the design, development, and execution of the firm’s installation from concept through completion.
The resulting display captured the imagination of attendees and ultimately earned the People’s Choice Award, which was determined through public voting during the event.
“We are incredibly proud of Rohs and Sarah,” said Lance Cayko, Co-Founder and Principal Architect of F9 Productions. “One of our goals as a firm has always been to create opportunities for our team members to lead meaningful projects and showcase their talents. This recognition is a direct reflection of their creativity, dedication, and ability to execute at a high level.”
Design In Bloom challenges participants to create original installations that blur the lines between architecture, art, and floral design. Participants are encouraged to explore innovative materials, forms, and construction techniques while expressing a unique design narrative.
For Heck and Althoff, the project provided an opportunity to combine architectural thinking, interior design sensibilities, and hands-on craftsmanship into a single immersive installation.
“We wanted to create something memorable that reflected both the spirit of the event and the design values of our firm,” said Rohs Heck. “Seeing attendees connect with the piece and ultimately vote for it was incredibly rewarding.”
Sarah Althoff added, “The collaborative nature of the project made it especially meaningful. We had the freedom to experiment, push ideas, and create something that people could experience and interpret in their own way.”
The award further reflects F9 Productions’ commitment to fostering leadership and professional growth within the organization. By empowering emerging leaders to take ownership of creative initiatives, the firm continues to invest in the next generation of architects and designers.
