raised platform for the bathing zone, clad
in the richly grained marble.
“The platform was a way to deal with
the change of material and we mitred the
edges of the stone to accentuate this –
bringing a block-like feel to the base and
rear wall,” says the designer. “Building
up the back wall allowed us to introduce
handy recessed storage niches and to
house accent and room lighting.”
The raised form also accommodates
the sensor-activated night-light beneath.
The vanity, on the opposite wall, was
custom-designed for the project and has a
long bench with integrated basins.
Above the vanity, the touch-to-open,
bifold lift-up mirror-fronted doors provide
easy access to the recessed wall cabinets.
The bathroom’s lighting is measured
and layered – accent lighting runs through
the niches and under the step and vanity
unit, adding depth to the dark spots of the
space and making the room feel larger.
Circular sky tubes set above the
shower and to the side of the bath bring in
more natural light and glimpses of the sky.
Above: The double vanity is hand made from a
single piece of engineered stone with two bowls
scalloped out of the surface. The vertical bifold,
lift-up mirror-fronted doors above the vanity offer
a dynamic storage area, raising the doors up and
out of the way and allowing easy, speedy access.
Adjustable mirrors are installed inside the wall
cabinets for shaving and close facial grooming.
Showering enjoyment is high in this bathroom –
the luxury showerhead offers a ‘waterfall’ option
together with the more usual rain soaker.
