the wall-sized vanity mirror doubles the size of
the bathroom in visual terms.
“The warmth of the wood balances the cool
tiles, but together they create a natural feel,”
says the architect.
At the opposite end of the room to the bath,
the shower stall is lined in small mosaic tiles,
contrasting the scale of the wall and floor tiles.
Glass doors mean the shower feels like part of
the main body of the room, accentuating the
overall sense of space. The toilet is tucked in to
the right of the shower stall
A tall frosted window was also installed
to bring natural light into the bathroom, while
still maintaining the privacy required given the
ensuite’s proximity to the street.
The freestanding tub adds to the ensuite’s
overall feel of luxury and this has a dedicated
surface-mounted downlight directly above.
“However, downlight aside, the bathroom is
lit by a recessed extruded LED strip that runs
right around the perimeter of the space and even
continues into the shower stall,” says Bhaskar.
“This subtly glowing feature also acts as a
wayfinder of sorts as it continues from the bath-
room ceiling right through into the bedroom.”
Above: Large floor and wall tiles
were specified in part to avoid
the need for too many grout lines,
helping to keep the bathroom
looking unfussy and pared back. The
large plywood vanity offers plenty of
storage while the wall mirror adds
to the overall sense of space and
light. The freestanding tub with its
floor-mounted pourer also implies
spaciousness. Underfloor heating
keeps the bathroom cosy year round.
