Reece Bathroom Innovation Award 2013

An innovation in integrated air extraction by Melbourne designer Chris Connell won the Professional category while sustainable showering technology secured the Student category title for University of South Australia final year student Amanda Paukner. The 2013 Reece Bathroom Innovation Award was announced on 17 August 2013. Now in its eighth year, the Award challenges design professionals and students to develop an original bathroom product that incorporates technology in one of three categories – Destination Space, Sustainable Space and Independent Space.

Wind Rain Fire – Chris Connell (Chris Connell Design). An integrated suite comprising a combined overhead showerhead and extractor fan, a touch-sensitive illuminated mixer panel (to control temperature and pressure), a heated towel rail with in-built fan, and a shower floor drain. An in-built fan incorporated into the towel rail heating element helps dry and warm towels while the flush-mounted combined overhead shower and extraction fan minimizes the number of units that need to be installed in the ceiling as well as the number of operating switches in the bathroom. The shower drain, designed to mirror the showerhead design, ties together the visual aesthetic of the suite while also maximizing water drainage. Connell receives $20,000 for his multi-dimensional shower innovation.
