TRENDS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN AWARDS 2015 RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN NEW ZEALAND ARCHITECT-DESIGNED KITCHEN I NEW ZEALAND IMPORTED KITCHEN AWARD RECIPIENTS For more than 30 years, Trends has promoted great home NEW ZEALAND ARCHITECT-DESIGNED KITCHEN design ideas through its print, digital and online media. The STRACHAN GROUP ARCHITECTS The Boatsheds Kitchen Trends International Design Awards – TIDAs – take that involvement to the next level with the search for the best NEW ZEALAND IMPORTED KITCHEN kitchens, bathrooms and homes across a number of the POGGENPOHL AKZENTE Waiwera Kitchen countries where Trends has a presence. The TIDAs start with awards programmes within a country, and we’re pleased to announce two of those winners here. Strachan Group Architects is the winner of the category, TIDA New Zealand Architect-designed Kitchen. Poggenpohl Akzente is the winner of the category, TIDA New Zealand Imported Kitchen. Both kitchens scored very highly against the judging criteria, which considered ways the design met the client brief, functionality and aesthetics. These two kitchens now progress to be judged alongside winners of other New Zealand kitchen award programmes to identify the TIDA New Zealand Kitchen Supreme Award winner. And this New Zealand winner will go forward to the international awards, to be announced in November 2015. Trends and TIDA sponsor Kitchen Things congratulate Strachan Group Architects and Poggenpohl Akzente for their winning designs and look forward to seeing how they progress through the next stages of the competition.
