Kohler has led this international design contest for the past four years in Southeast Asia and, for the first time this year, it will also be held as a regional competition, inclusive of Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hongkong, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan, Korea and Australia. The KBDA celebrates talent and innovation within the hospitality, residential and commercial property industries.

To recognize the wide spread of entrants’ locations, this years’ celebration will be a hybrid event across the whole of Asia, with an online presence supported by three locations offering the chance to gather physically – Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, Jakarta Indonesia and The Kohler Experience Centre (KEC) in Singapore. Nominees and companies will gather to celebrate the achievements and hear a panel of renowned international designers select the most outstanding projects and winners.
