Celia Visser Wins NKBA Bathroom of the Year Award
Celia Visser Wins NKBA Bathroom of the Year Award
Saturday June the 9th 2011 saw the Gala Awards
dinner of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association
(NKBA). The NKBA is New Zealand’s preeminent association
of New Zealand based Kitchen and Bathroom designers and
manufacturers. This annual event is incorporated with the
NKBA Conference of which spazioCasa is the platinum sponsor.
The NKBA awards celebrate New Zealand Kitchens and Bathrooms
designed by members of the NKBA.
This years Best
Bathroom Design was designed by Cilia Visser of Celia Visser
Design, 54 College Hill, Ponsonby. The apparent challenge
of the project was the size and shape of the bathroom, being
long and narrow with an alcove at one end. Celia Visser
overcame this problem by creating 3 distinct areas with a
free standing bath as the focal point. The Italian wall
tiles, supplied by spazioCasa, create a feeling of luxury
along with a mirrored cabinet that creates more space. The
use of LED lights creates a truly romantic atmosphere and
accentuates the overall design.
For the second year
running, spazioCasa was the platinum sponsor of the NKBA
Conference and was the sponsor of the major categories Best
Bathroom Design, Peoples Choice Bathroom Award and the
regional Bathroom of the Year awards. Paolo Cozzolino,
Director of spazioCasa, said that it is a privilege [to be
the platinum sponsor] because I truly believe that this
association is an organisation where likeminded people can
really make a difference and improve the industry they are
passionate about.
Of the awards, Mr Cozzolino said
this year all the entries were of an extremely high
standard. It was pleasing to see that even in this tough
economic climate customers are choosing to use certified
designers. The designers are using the latest in
international trends and technologies to achieve fantastic
results for their customers.
