GROHE, a global leader in bathroom solutions and kitchen fittings, partnered with AD India to present the prestigious GROHE Bath & Design Awards 2024 for the third year in a row. This year’s ceremony took place in New Delhi and brought together prominent figures from the architecture and design community.
The event celebrated exceptional creativity and innovation among architects and designers nationwide. The theme, “World of Wellness,” highlighted the evolving role of bathrooms as personal retreats that promote both physical and mental well-being. Winners were chosen through a rigorous selection process designed to ensure that exceptional talent was duly recognized and honored.
The distinguished jury for this edition included Amrita Guha, Founding Partner at Untitled Design Consultants; Akshat Bhatt, Principal Architect at Architecture Discipline; Sonali Rastogi, Founding Partner at Morphogenesis; Komal Sharma, Head of Editorial Content at Architectural Digest, Conde Nast India; and Priya Rustogi, Leader of LIXIL Water Technologies for India and the Subcontinent.
Entries were evaluated based on three key criteria: wellness-first bath spaces, acknowledging these areas as personal sanctuaries that necessitate a focus on wellness-centric design; innovation in design, celebrating unique and pioneering concepts; and sustainability, highlighting designs that support and promote an eco-friendly lifestyle. Out of 470 submissions, 10 exceptional bath designs were honored. This year also saw the debut of a new award category, the Lifetime Achievement Award, which was presented to the esteemed architect Verendra Wakhloo of Matra Architects & Rurban Planners.
Priya Rustogi, Leader of LIXIL Water Technologies, India & Subcontinent, said, โThe overwhelming support and enthusiasm from everyone present here inspires us. We created this event to celebrate the brilliance of India’s architecture and design visionaries, and the trust they’ve shown over the years makes me feel like we made the community proud. In the coming years, we see the GROHE Bath & Design Awards becoming a global force for design excellence. With each new edition, we’re going to keep raising the bar and redefining what this event can be. It’s going to be an exciting journey.” (Pic Courtesy: Businesswire India)
