Showering technology took the top prize in the 2013 Reece Bathroom Innovation Award (BIA), with new innovations in air extractor integration and sustainable showering technology announced as the winners at Sydney Indesign earlier this month.
Chris Connell, Principal at Melbourne’s Chris Connell Design, was awarded the professional prize of $20,000 for his multi-dimensional shower unit, Wind Rain Fire, which combines an air extractor fan with a flush-mounted showerhead. Judges praised his clever approach to creating a more streamlined bathroom by removing the need for separate exhaust fans and the careful balance of aesthetic, function and technology in his product.
