TRENDS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN The Trends International Design Awards – TIDAs – start within a country, with awards programmes for kitchens, bathrooms and homes, organised by Trends or by professional organisations. Winners of all these country categories then progress to the TIDA INTERNATIONAL KITCHEN OF THE YEAR KIRSTY DAVIS/HAGLEY KITCHENS International Awards programme. We’re pleased to announce here our 2018 international winners: CHRISTCHURCH 2018 TIDA International Kitchen of the Year INTERNATIONAL BATHROOM OF THE YEAR Kirsty Davis/Hagley Kitchens SANDRA DIAZ-VELASCO, EOLO A&I DESIGN Judges’ comment: This is a clean and simple design, but one MIAMI that has a lot of appeal and provokes thought. Extensive use of timber battens and concrete is particularly well implemented. INTERNATIONAL HOME OF THE YEAR SAOTA & TKD 2018 TIDA International Bathroom of the Year CAPE TOWN & SYDNEY Sandra Diaz-Velasco, Eolo A&I Design Judges’ comment: Luxurious elements, flowing, organised spaces and a sense of drama all come together in this beautifully executed and visually arresting master suite. 2018 TIDA international Home of the Year SAOTA & TKD Judges’ comment: The architecture of this home, both internally and externally, is elegantly complemented by a minimal and tactile material and colour palette, offering a quiet and harmonious warmth and softness to this timeless, graceful dwelling.
