Introduction

The sixth edition of the One Day Design Challenge by Roca took place at the Roca Galleries in Barcelona and Madrid on the 7th October.

Four awards of 500, 1,000. 2,000 and 3,000 euros were presented. The jury highlighted the high quality of the projects developed in only 9 hours and the outstanding participation.

STEAM BOX by Robert Navarro Torres and Enrique Morral Santoyo (UPC) won the first prize. The project recovers the steam originating from the use of the shower or bath to iron and heat clothes by means of the radiation this device generates. At the same time, the condensed steam is stored in the base and can be reused while it also features an integrated interactive screen.

The second prize was awarded to Vicent Ferrando Sanjuan and Mariana Hinojosa, former students of Elisava for their project ROCKY, which provides a solution to another member of the family, the pets.

The third prize was awarded to VAPORE, by Luis Miguel Gonzalez y Jorge Ruiz, from the Escuela Superior de Castilla la Mancha, an elegant design with different washing functions.

The We Are Water Foundation presented its award and Xavier Torras, brand communication director at Roca and Director of the We Are Water Foundation, explained that it is awarded “to the project that highlights the value and commitment to sustainability, as the saving of water is something that needs to be integrated into the bathroom space.”

In this case it was for SINARA, by Alicja Anna Kubicka, from the Poznan University of echnology, a project that brings nature to the bathroom. The jury was made up of Maria Callis, president of the Retail Design Institute in Spain; Toni Clariana, founder of Magma Design and member of the board of the BCD; Mario Correa, founding partner of Mario Correa Arquitectura; Jordi Pérez, designer of the Roca Design Center; Alberto Bejerano, technical engineer in industrial design; Sergio Baragaño, architect and founder of [baragaño]; Carlos Campuzano, architect, founder of Campuzano Arquitectos; Carmen Panadero, co-director of the Master in Real Estate Development (MRED) at the IESchool of Architecture and Design; Sergio Giménez, designer at the design department in Roca and Xavier Torras.

The competition Roca One Day Design Challenge is another initiative that confirms the brand ́s commitment to the promotion and dissemination of national and international talent in the fields of design and architecture.
