Above: Together with the master
ensuite, Armstrong designed two
other bathrooms in the home,
including this combined powder
room and shower. All three spaces
feature the same principal surfaces
to create design harmony across
the home. The herringbone floor
is created from single wood tiles.
These match the natural tones of the
travertine walls and bookmatched
Neolith sheet in the shower area.

the sense of space in the master ensuite. The
negative detail under the benchtop, combined
with the floating shelf below the cabinet unit,
gives the twin vanity a pulled-apart, modern
aesthetic, accentuated by backlighting.
The wood frame around the mirror-fronted
wall cabinet over the vanity adds a homely feel.
“In addition, the top extends beyond the
cabinet, creating a makeup desk complete with
an oval mirror and a pouf,” Armstrong says.
“We chose red gold fittings where possible
to play off the stone surfaces. However, where
elements couldn’t be sourced in this finish we
went with black detailing – as seen in the heated
towel rails and operable shutters above the tub.
“Another way we addressed detail harmony
was by leaving out the hardware completely –
the glass toilet cubicle door has a cut-out handle
and the shower door is simply push to open.”
The powder room – together with two other
bathrooms in the home – has similar material
treatments, including the travertine tile, book-
matched Neolith sheet and herringbone floor. It
also has a simpler version of the bathroom
vanity, sans makeup space but with the same
contemporary deconstructed appeal.
