Award winning bathrooms & kitchens to inspire you

Based in Sydney, interior architecture firm Minosa have had a stellar year, picking up an amazing 11 industry awards. From a gorgeous pink kitchen in Paddington to a luxe Maroubra bathroom, there’s plenty of design inspiration to be gleaned from their award winning work. We’ve been fans of theirs for years and we thought you’d love to see their beautiful designs too.

Monochrome bathroom renovation
Located in Sydney, this luxurious monochrome renovation is anything but boring. Combining textured tiles, high-end fixtures and plenty of natural light it’s easy to see how it was awarded the HIA (Housing Institute of Australia) Australian Bathroom Design of the Year 2018 award.

“The clients were adamant about their needs, the main one was to take the small cramped space with a large corner spa and transform it into a sophisticated, modern space that pushed the boundaries of a conventual bathing space, oh and by the way, they had no budget!” says Minosa co-founder Darren Genner.

Kitchen renovation with pink accents
Located in Paddington, this kitchen renovation is an exploration of the kitchen as the social hub of the home according to Minosa. Home to a family of five (including three girls), this project was the third time the family had engaged Minosa but this time they wanted a truly statement space. The kitchen was ultimately awarded the HIA NSW Kitchen Design of the Year 2018.

“Lime-washed oak, warm white cabinetry and white matte handmade tiles combine to create a lovely light and airy feel to this perfectly planned kitchen. The designer expertly finished the space with just the right amount of a luscious lilac-hinted pink. The hue lifts the scheme and creates a stunning focal point in this very refined and well-designed kitchen,” said the judges.

A bathroom retreat
Located in Sydney’s Maroubra, this spa-like bathroom took out the NSW HIA Awards NSW Bathroom Design of the Year. “We all love going on holidays right? When we do, the bathrooms and bedrooms mostly feel large and connected, luxurious and somewhat indulgent. That is what this client wanted for their new bathroom design – that holiday feeling at home,” says Darren.
