Several design constraints helped shape this
high-end bathroom by designer Leslie Lamarre
of TRG Architecture + Interior Design.
“Our brief for this project was to transform
a chaotic bathroom and wardrobe space into a
contemporary, luxurious and masculine master
bathroom for a high-powered executive couple.
“The owners requested an expansive closet
space – enough room for at least 200 pairs of
shoes – and a black and white colour scheme.
Design challenges for Lamarre included
working with the unusually tall 3.65m ceiling
height and retaining the existing window with
its view of a redwood grove – this was the only
natural light source in the room. At the same
time, the modern look had to work well with
the home’s traditional architecture.
In response, the design team introduced a
dramatic black marble slab to anchor the space
and backdrop its focal-point – the free-standing
tub. The slab continues up to the lofty ceiling,
visually connecting it to the floor. In contrast, a
quiet white marble covers the wet walls.
“While used in a modern form, the black and
white marbles are classic materials that fit well
with the home’s architecture,” Lamarre says.
