CELEBRATING OUR DESIGN AWARD WINNERS
We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Ca’ Pietra Design Awards 2025, shining a spotlight on exceptional projects that showcase the beauty and versatility of Ca’ Pietra materials.
This year the awards were judged by a panel of experts, including Ben Spriggs, Editor-in-Chief at Elle Decoration, Jessica Doyle, Design & Interiors Editor at The Telegraph, and Lewis Malpas, Creative Director at Mr Porter. Together, the judges assessed entries across five core design categories and three special recognition categories.
Grazzie Wilson, Group Brand Director at Ca’ Pietra, says: “The standard of entries this year was incredibly high, with projects that showed a real confidence in material choice and a clear understanding of how tile and stone can shape the character of a space. What stood out most was the variety of approaches, from quietly detailed rooms to bold, expressive schemes, all united by a strong sense of design intent and craftsmanship. I know all the judges had a hard time choosing the final winners!”
A big thank you to everyone who took part and congratulations to all our winners…
BATHROOM DESIGN OF THE YEAR - UP TO 20K WINNER
Jaye Davidson-Hall, JJ Bathrooms
Bathroom Design of the Year (Up to £20k) was one of the most hotly contested categories, with the award going to Jaye Davidson-Hall of JJ Bathrooms. Her space was chosen for it's calm Mediterranean influences, designed as a warm and serene retreat. The scheme is grounded by Marlborough Terracotta Arabesque tiles on the floor, chosen for their handmade texture and earthy tone, while Maroc Porcelain Bianco tiles on the walls add softness with a subtle nod to traditional zellige . Curved detailing, including the shower wall, softens the architecture, while a clean white double stone basin, brushed brass fittings and warm lime washed walls complete a palette that feels soothing, grounded and timeless.
Judge Jessica Doyle, Design and Interiors Editor at The Telegraph, said: “I love the fresh yet warm ambience of this bathroom. It perfectly fits the brief for a Mediterranean style room, and the mix of textures in the terracotta and zellige tiles, the limewashed walls and the brass fittings gives it tactility and depth.” Reflecting on the category, she added: “It really proved how an inventive use of tiling, colour and detail can make a bathroom look inviting and characterful, whatever its size.”
BATHROOM DESIGN OF THE YEAR - OVER 20K WINNER
Jamie Falla, Studio Otto
Bathroom Design of the Year (Over £20k) was awarded to Jamie Falla of Studio Otto for a refined and quietly luxurious bathroom at Val La Give House, where natural stone takes centre stage. Taj Mahal Marble defines the scheme, chosen for its soft, creamy tones and delicate veining, and used extensively across vanity tops and bespoke sinks to create a seamless, cohesive aesthetic.
The design celebrates purity and restraint, allowing the subtle translucence of the marble to interact with natural and ambient light, enhancing its warmth and depth. Honed surfaces, precision cut detailing and a muted palette ensure the stone remains the hero, resulting in a space that feels both contemporary and timeless, and a confident expression of craftsmanship and enduring quality.
KITCHEN DESIGN OF THE YEAR
Jojo Barr, House Nine Design
Kitchen Design of the Year was awarded to Jojo Barr of House Nine Design for a kitchen that balances timeless elegance with lived in warmth. The space is defined by a calm, considered palette and a strong sense of materiality, where Buscot Limestone Tumbled & Etched surfaces, layered textures and thoughtful detailing work together to create a kitchen that feels both refined and welcoming.
Generous proportions are softened through curved architectural elements and tactile finishes, while the interplay of light across stone, timber and cabinetry brings depth and quiet character. The result is a kitchen that feels confident yet relaxed, designed not only to be admired but to be used, gathered around and enjoyed as the heart of the home.
HALLWAY DESIGN OF THE YEAR WINNER
Holly Vaughan, Vaughan Design and Development
Hallway Design of the Year was awarded to Holly Vaughan of Vaughan Design and Development for an entrance space that feels considered, practical and quietly welcoming. The hallway is anchored by a tactile stone floor, where Buscot Limestone Tumbled & Etched Cobbles flow into Touraine Limestone, creating a natural transition that brings texture and movement underfoot.
Built in joinery introduces both storage and seating, while soft colour tones and simple detailing keep the space calm and purposeful. It was selected for its thoughtful use of materials and its ability to balance everyday functionality with a strong sense of arrival, setting a confident tone from the moment you step inside.
LANDSCAPE & EXTERIOR DESIGN OF THE YEAR WINNER
Will Cooke, Artisan Landscapes
Landscape & Exterior Design of the Year is awarded to Will Cooke of Artisan Landscapes, for a design where considered use of natural stone, beautiful textures and elegant planting helped to shape a garden that feels both cohesive and inviting. At the heart of the design is Buscot Limestone in a tumbled and etched finish, used across paving, terraces, pathways and pool surrounds to create a warm, textured backdrop that connects the house, pool and outdoor living areas. Steps, retaining walls and circulation routes were all crafted to respond to the site’s sloping terrain, ensuring a fluid journey through the garden with moments of pause and reflection along the way.
DESIGN MOMENT OF THE YEAR WINNER
Laura Hammett, WOW!House
Design Moment of the Year was is awarded to Laura Hammett of design studio Laura Hammett Ltd. for a standout contribution to the 2025 WOW!house showhouse at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, where she reimagined Art Deco design through a richly layered and highly crafted bathroom installation. Featuring our Calacatta Vagli Oro, Verde Guatemala and Emperador Light marbles, the space brought together sculptural forms, deep jewel tones, bespoke brassware and geometric detailing to create an indulgent sanctuary that feels both theatrical and refined. It's a space that celebrates texture, materiality and craftsmanship in equal measure.
WHOLE HOME TRANFORMATION OF THE YEAR WINNER
Alexandra Young, Alexandra Young Design
Whole Home Transformation of the Year was awarded to Alexandra Young of Alexandra Young Design for the sensitive renovation of an English country house and estate set within the Surrey Hills. A complete renovation saw the reworking of the internal layout, including relocating the staircase and extending the kitchen, alongside the replacement of bathrooms, kitchens, fireplaces and stone flooring throughout key areas of the home.
Hazlebury Limestone in a seasoned finish was used extensively across the entrance hall, kitchen, sub kitchen, larder, bootroom and map room, creating an earthy, textural foundation with an ancient farmhouse feel. In the bathroom, Crema Marfil honed marble brings a soft, subtle character to the vanity top and shower niche. In the kitchen spaces, Costa Smeralda Granite was selected for worktops and windowsills, its organic green tones echoing the surrounding gardens, while an antique Victorian scrub table topped with Carrara C Honed marble was introduced to soften the scale of the kitchen island.
Commenting on the award, Alexandra Young said: “We are extremely proud to have been selected and to see our work recognised. It is a wonderful project and one we are delighted to share.”
