Above: The bedroom was originally
going to be separated from the
ensuite by a glass wall. However, on
completion, the home-owners chose
to leave the space completely open
to make the most of the bathroom’s
visual impact. An airconditioning
unit is integrated into the horizontal
flutes on the privacy wall.

The centrepiece vanity is backdropped by a
dramatic floor-to-ceiling privacy wall featuring
double mirrors and fluted beechwood surfaces.
An airconditioning unit is seamlessly integrated
into the horizontal flutes at the top of the wall.
A nearby, almost room-height cupboard,
also fronted with smokey mirrors, has internal
shelves shaped for specific items. This itemised
approach makes the storage feel luxurious and
helps keep everything tidy even when the user
is pressed for time. To complete the innovative
storage options, there’s even a laundry basket
concealed within the privacy wall.
The shower, bidet and toilet zone behind the
wall is in a continuation of the carrara marble.
However, it’s all the freestanding elements
seen together – the curvaceous tub and its floor-
mounted filler, the almost industrial double
vanity, and the privacy wall – that lead the eye
to see the space in terms of sculptural abstract
forms rather than just a functional space.
“As well as the entry from the hall, there’s
an opening directly from the bedroom – this
was to be glazed but the owners loved the look
of the bathroom so much that they left the areas
open to each other,” House says.
