Top: Designer Mick De Giulio says having such an
open-plan design gives a softer, living space effect
to the bathroom, making it less hard edged.
Plan: 1 bedroom, 2 bath area, 3 shower, 4 vanity,
5 toilet, 6 closet, 7 secondary kitchen, 8 stairs to
office, 9 television
Right: Four different formats of brushed Iceberg
Quartzite tiles were used for walls and floors in the
bathroom area, including large slabs for the wall
behind the bath tub. The frosted glass window in
the shower provides permanent privacy here.

open connection between bedroom and
bathroom, yet still have the flexibility for
privacy when it’s wanted.
The master suite is part of De Giulio’s
extensive remodel of a lake house that was
only eight years old. Despite its fairly
recent build, the house had only a small
master bathroom, so De Giulio extended
this to make the room longer and wider.
An early decision was to position the
bed so as to get the best views of the lake,
leaving the interior space behind the bed
for the new master bathroom.
