On January 9th, the jury of the ‘bulthaup – the kitchen as a living space’ award had the pleasure of announcing the prizes for the fifth edition of the competition, aimed at acknowledging the best projects submitted by architects and designers from Spain, Portugal, and Andorra.
Award-winning values
What drew the jury members’ attention to the "Loft in Ciutat Vella" project was its particularly successful fulfillment of the four criteria set for the competition (utility value, design quality, the kitchen’s integration within the overall space, success in turning the kitchen into the heart of the home) through its use of the original space and its integration of new materials with the existing ones, turning the kitchen into a cohesive hub for the shared space within the home.
Special mentions
For Special Mention 1, the "Casa Mac" project, the jury valued the spatial concept from which the kitchen emerged as the central element within a space generated by its empty areas.
Regarding Special Mention 2, awarded to the "Loft 01" project, the jury was struck by the graceful solution proposed for a small space by including elements that allow for a flexible use of both areas, thus maximizing the existing volume.
