The designer borrowed nearly half of the area of the original bathroom footprint and combined this with an under-utilised linen cupboard to achieve this closet. search | save | share at Rather than lowering the high ceilings, the designer used the horizontal line offered by 2.5m-high doors to create a visual line around the room in the same black marble seen behind the tub. This approach brings the sense of the ceiling height down to scale while retaining the spacious feel. The same black marble was also used for the custom frames on the fog-free mir- rors over the vanities. Lamarre sectioned off nearly half the space to accommodate a walk-in closet, incorporating a redundant linen closet in the adjacent hall- way. The existing master closet was converted into a seasonal closet, contributing to the overall amount of closet space required. Matching the height of the doors and marble slab, tall panels of white back-painted glass add to the list of rich materials. This glass treatment is repeated as backing in the shower soap niche, and again as a frame for the feature slab. Silver-backed glass tiles behind the vanities add to the sense of luxury while the cascading crystal chandelier mimics rainfall and creates a sense of tranquility. Textured porcelain planked flooring, heated for comfort, completes the welcoming bathroom.
