If you’re planning on remodeling your kitchen or bathroom in a couple years, you might want to keep an eye out for the winners of the 2010/2011 National Kitchen & Bath Association Student Design Competition. More than 300 students from design programs across North America submitted floor plans and renderings for a high-rise condominium unit in downtown Chicago. Here’s a look at the winning designs that took first place.
- 1st Place – Kitchens: Mary Anne Jarrell, Seminole State College

- 1st Place – Bathrooms: Alexis Cannariato, Brigham Young University

By the way, the NKBA is now accepting entries for the 2011/2012 NKBA Student Design Competition. The new round calls for kitchen and bath designs for a 19th century Federal Style Row House.

Congratulations Mary Anne.. this is a beautiful kitchen and you are heading for the BIG time with your abilities. Ann Biddy
Alexis, you are fantastic! I am so impressed by everything you design. I look forward to seeing your work in the years to come! Eliza Lund
Alexis is the BEST student designer ever!!! And such a wonderful person. I love you, sis!
Way to go Lexi!
omg! I was not going to enter the competition but after seeing the winning designs…I AM NOW!!!! I have self-feeding/self watering herbal columns on my kitchen island. I don't see anything creative in these elevations. Recess lighting?? Bar stools?? Seriously??!! Anyhow, congratulations it is a huge accomplishment.
It's not about what YOU want in the space, it is about the client programming. The designers gave the clients EXACTLY what they wanted. They are beautiful designs. Not everyone wants a self watering herb garden in their kitchen. But good luck with your entry.
