The National Kitchen & Bath Association Announces
2014 Design Competition Winners
Nearly 30 outstanding winning projects were honored at an exclusive Design
Competition Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas on February 3.
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (FEBRUARY 18, 2014) — The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA)
revealed this year’s 18 category and 11 specialty award winners at an exclusive awards
ceremony at the Tryst Night Club in Las Vegas on February 3, on the eve of the 2014 Kitchen
and Bath Industry Show (KBIS®).
The frontrunners of the competition include Best Kitchen
Winner Tim Scott of XTC Design Incorporated, Toronto,
Ontario; and Best Bath Winner Sol Quintana Wagoner from
Jackson Design and Remodeling, San Diego, Calif., whose
projects were clear high-scorers on various criteria,
including safety and ergonomics, elements and principles of
design, design planning, creativity and presentation.
Tim Scott’s medium kitchen project was designed for a
family of four that loves to entertain. It features two work
zones, good storage options for point-of-use essentials, and
other state-of-the-art features. The creative play of a
chunky, back-beveled marble background, walnut cabinetry,
wavy backsplash tiles and a lava stone floor, among other
elements, bring a wow factor to this space.

Sol Quintana Wagoner earned the Best Bath Award for her
