The KBDi 2022 Design awards were held last month in a series of gala and presentation nights. In a special series of posts, here are all the winners in the Chapter Bathroom categories.
2022 Large Bathrooms NSW
Winner: Sarah Nolen CKD Au, CBD Au | Birdblack Design
A passively designed tree house required a bathroom with thoughtful planning and considered material selections to meet some stringent sustainability goals. The designer met the brief, creating a space with an earthy aesthetic and minimal load. The bathroom features impressive technology and innovative materials while maintaining a lovely ‘at home and liveable’ feel.
2022 Large Bathrooms Vic
Winner: Naomi McLean | MJ Harris Group
A striking terrazzo vanity takes centre stage in this spectacular bathroom, balanced beautifully with soft sage tiles and the warm tones of timber. The expansive space has been expertly planned by the designer and is as proportionate and practical as it is pretty.
2022 Master Suites NSW
Winner: Sarah Nolen CKD Au, CBD Au | Birdblack Design
The designer showed great restraint and respect to the original architecture of this Glen Murcutt-designed home. She carefully retained or replicated the signature elements while at the same time layering a light and fresh contemporary feel to this beautiful master suite. The project was expertly detailed and professionally documented, ensuring a first-class result.
2022 Master Suites Vic
Winner: Rochelle Morris | Nudge Interiors
A dark and stormy palette gives this Peninsular home an alluring edge. Hints of teal and green reflect the coastal location, while warm timber tones and tanned leather details add warmth and depth to the scheme. These aesthetic values – combined with considered space planning and creative design – make this space an all-round winner.
2022 Small Bathrooms NSW
Winner: Eliesha Paiano | Paiano Design
A passively designed tree house required a bathroom with thoughtful planning and considered material selections to meet some stringent sustainability goals. The designer met the brief, creating a space with an earthy aesthetic and minimal load. The bathroom features impressive technology and innovative materials while maintaining a lovely ‘at home and liveable’ feel.
2022 Small Bathrooms Vic
Winner: Naomi McLean | MJ Harris Group
A complete reinvention of the existing space was required to create an all-new ensuite for the homeowners. The designer’s solution was planned to perfection and finished with finesse. Despite its small footprint, the new bathroom is light-filled, airy and has all the feels of a refreshing sanctuary – a perfect example of great design.
2022 All Bathrooms Qld
Winner: Sheena Hanks | Inka Interiors
A voluminous space can sometimes present as many challenges as a tiny one – sometimes more. The designer has done well to reconfigure this very large bathroom into a well-appointed, proportionate and luxurious space.
2022 All Bathrooms SA
Winner: Jo Niederer | Brilliant SA Pty Ltd
A small bathroom in a 1940s Art Deco home required a complete overhaul for a family of six. The designer came up with an ideal solution, maximising the functionality of the space without extending beyond the original footprint. With its new, improved layout and a stylish selection of finishes, the bathroom is a now delightful retreat for the happy homeowners.
2022 All Bathrooms WA
Winner: Alysia Pekel CKD Au | Western Cabinets
From the well-designed bedhead with suspended beside tables to the detailed walk-in-robe and ensuite documentation, the designer demonstrated an impressive range of skills with this master suite entry.
