Above right: The toilet and bidet
are tucked into a recess so they
are not visible from the bathroom
entry. The half wall that separates
the fittings from the shower forms
a shelf and accommodates a hidden
cistern. Shelving within the shower
is recessed.

“We teamed the seamless
vanity top with wenge veneer
cabinetry, which introduces a
natural timber look that helps
to soften and warm up the
space,” the architect says.
The mirrored doors above
the vanity are slightly larger
than the medicine cabinets
behind. Lighting above and
below the units enhances the
sense that they are floating
within the space.

The shower, on the opposite
side of the bathroom, is flush
with the floor and features
a sliding glass door and
backpainted glass walls.
A half wall separates the
shower from the toilet and
bidet, which are tucked into
a nook and not visible from
the bedroom. The half wall
extends around the wall where
it accommodates a concealed
in-wall cistern.

“To keep the look simple
and uncluttered, we specified
extra-large slabs of Caesarstone
for the floor,” says Kao. “This
minimises the joins, for a more
seamless appearance.”
