Celebrating Design Excellence at Stacey Kocevar Designs, LLC

We are thrilled to announce that our project, “The North Star,” has been honored with the prestigious Judges’ Choice Award at the KBA

Susquehanna Chapter’s annual celebration of excellence. This award is given to the highest-scoring project across all categories, and we are incredibly proud that our work was recognized for its serene ambiance, beautiful balance of color, texture, and proportion, and meticulous attention to detail.

The judges highlighted our mastery of NKBA standards and our

commitment to expressing client goals in every design decision. One of the most memorable features of the project—the hidden pantry—was described as a “delightful surprise,” adding to the space’s deeply personal and inviting feel. This recognition not only celebrates our dedication to thoughtful design but also sets a new standard for what we strive to achieve for each client.

“The North Star” also received First Place in the Kitchens Over $150,001 category, reinforcing our belief that truly exceptional design is both functional and inspiring. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients, collaborators, and the NKBA judges for this incredible honor. This achievement motivates us to continue crafting spaces that feel uniquely personal and beautifully balanced.
