Duravit USA Names Winners of the Designer Dream Bath Competition

Duravit USA names the winner and the distinguished runners-up of its 7^th Annual Designer Dream Bath Competition and BDG was honored to play a part. Duravit USA teamed with sales partner Frank Webb Home to scout the hottest bathroom designs in the Northeast incorporating Duravit’s timeless yet cutting-edge products. Designers hailing from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont submitted “dream bath” projects completed between October 2014 and October 2019 for a chance to win $5,000 in Duravit product, as well as industry recognition.

I was thrilled to be in on the selection process, and joined Duravit USA President Tim Schroeder, and other members of the Duravit team, at Frank Webb Home’s South Boston location to participate on a juried panel comprised of leading designers, architects and media, including Eduardo Serrate of Hacin + Associates and Janice Costa, editor of Kitchen & Bath Design News, to review the design submissions and help name the winners. 

Duravit Designer Dream Bath Competition Winner: Paris K Design

Paris Kostopoulos and Tina Psoinos of the New York based firm Paris K Design were awarded top honors for their elegant redesign of a New York City bathroom apartment. The duo gave a grand bearing to a small space, utilizing the Duravit Starck 3 toilet and Sensowash seat, Happy D.2 vanity and washbasin, and D-Code bathtub to forward its resplendent and functional design.
