The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) revealed this year’s 18 category and 11 specialty award winners at an exclusive awards ceremony at the Tryst Night Club in Las Vegas on February 3, on the eve of the 2014 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS®).

The frontrunners of the competition include Best Kitchen Winner Tim Scott of XTC Design Incorporated, Toronto, Ontario; and Best Bath Winner Sol Quintana Wagoner from Jackson Design and Remodeling, San Diego, Calif., whose projects were clear high-scorers on various criteria, including safety and ergonomics, elements and principles of design, design planning, creativity and presentation.

Tim Scott’s medium kitchen project was designed for a family of four that loves to entertain. It features two work zones, good storage options for point-of-use essentials, and other state-of-the-art features. The creative play of a chunky, back-beveled marble background, walnut cabinetry, wavy backsplash tiles and a lava stone floor, among other elements, bring a wow factor to this space.

Sol Quintana Wagoner earned the Best Bath Award for her contemporary, Asian-themed room, featuring an elegant black pocket door with Shoji-style panels, an ochre wall, sensor-activated lighting system, and an arced onyx sink with gold fixtures — a meticulously planned room with glamor and sophistication galore.

“This year’s winners offer a stunning variety in themes, styles and finishes,” says 2014 NKBA President John Petrie, CMKBD. “From English Cottage to Farmhouse styles and Contemporary Asian to Coastal themes, these winning designs demonstrate creativity, precision and versatility! I’m very proud of my fellow member designers, who are indeed a vital part of our association.”

A panel of seven, certified industry experts evaluated nearly 400 entries for projects from across the United States and Canada in the 2014 Design Competition. Each judge was either a Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer (CMKBD) or both a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD) and a Certified Bath Designer (CBD).

In addition, approximately 15,000 consumers voted for the People’s Pick Kitchen and Bath on HGTV.com.

This year’s competition was supported by the following sponsors: Platinum: Jenn-Air, Waypoint Living Spaces, DuPont Surfaces, and GE Monogram; Gold: Delta Faucet and Hafele; Silver: 20-20 Technologies, Miele, SieMatic, The Home Depot, Mode, Danze, American Standard, Rev-A-Shelf, Wellborn Cabinet, HGTVRemodels.com, and True Professional Series; and Bronze: Hansgrohe, Joneca Corporation, and Pixi.
