Above : A space-hogging tub was removed in
the renovation and a large rainhead shower
introduced by the window. White mosaics help
keep the bathroom light and bright and provide
a perfect contrast to the wood batten floor and
ceiling. The black utility ledge and wall mixer are
modern interpretations of the apartment’s classic
Art Deco style. The original sash windows were
retained in the comprehensive upgrade.

bed platform was an essential factor in the
re-planning of the apartment’s amenities.
“The bathroom floor level was raised
to match that of the bed platform, allow-
ing the kitchenette’s plumbing to be
relocated from it’s original position to the
entry space,” Prineas says.
The length of the original bathroom
was slightly reduced to gain more space
for the kitchenette’s new position in the
entry. A floating batten timber floor and
ceiling creates the illusion of depth and
space and extends the aesthetics of the
living and sleeping areas into the bathroom.
The custom timber battens are rounded
in profile and produce a sense of warmth
and tactility underfoot, helping give the
new bathroom the look and feel of a sauna.
Bespoke black steel elements in the
studio – modern iterations of the Deco
style – extend into the bathroom through
the black fittings and a custom black shelf.
“The entry to the reconfigured studio
now opens to the kitchen, with the bath-
room accessed via the sleeping area,” says
the architect.
