Sydney designer, Darren Genner of Minosa (www.minosadesign.com), has much to celebrate after winning a swag of awards at a
spectacular Gala event in Brisbane on Friday (8 August), including a highly
esteemed national award (for the second year running) and a place on the KBDi
Designers International Tour to Cologne and Paris next year.
Over 200 design-savvy guests from across
Australia gathered at the stunning Victoria Park complex, where the Kitchen and
Bathroom Designers Institute (KBDi) celebrated the ‘inspiration, innovation and imagination’ of Australia’s finest
kitchen and bathroom designers.
Darren, who was also last
year’s KBDi Australian Bathroom Designer of the Year, continued his winning
streak this year by collecting a number of awards. The first of the evening was the accolade for
KBDi Designer - Small Bathrooms NSW 2014, followed soon after by the award for KBDi
Designer – Large Bathrooms NSW 2014.
Darren’s entry in the large bathroom category then went on to secure him
the title of KBDi Bathroom Designer of the Year 2014 – NSW and the coveted
title of KBDi Australian Bathroom Designer of the Year for the second year
running. This award will once again see
Darren taking his place on the KBDi Designers International Tour, with visits
to Paris and Cologne in January 2015.

About Darren’s winning project: Design prowess and acute
attention to detail are the key attributes of Australia’s finest designers, and
this designer has ticked both the boxes with his winning bathroom design. The clients had very specific desires for a
modern and contemporary styled bathroom with a ‘touch of bling’, to match their
recently completed renovations. Their
existing bathroom space had limitations – the area was narrow and dominated by
a large colonial style window that could not be altered. The designer successfully manipulated the
challenging area, meeting the practical needs of the homeowners and conquering
the physical constraints of the space.
The designer completed the room with a stunning combination of finishes
and features that pleased both the clients and the judging panel.
The KBDi kitchen awards were proudly sponsored
by registered training organisation, Designer Training
(www.designertraining.edu.au), and the KBDi bathroom awards were sponsored by
Pytha 3-D CAD Systems (www.pytha.com).
Lincoln Sentry was proud to support the program too, sponsoring the
highly esteemed award for KBDi Australian Certified Designer of the Year.
