The client’s design brief requested for their existing family Bathroom to be transformed into a relaxing spa escape with feature mood lighting and a steam room area.
After working on a few different concepts, I decided it would be best to relocate the existing WC position and place the freestanding stone bath on an angle, this allowed space for a larger enclosed wet floor shower area with bespoke seating and a built-in steam room. by creating a dropped ceiling, a sleek recessed Axor rain head could be fitted with an additional riser rail to suit all family member’s height variation Selecting a warm travertine large-format floor and wall tile with a sister matching feature mosaic, created the illusion of a larger space than the original bathroom floor plan. The matt tile finish also worked well as a contrast to the cantilever glass cashmere vanity unit. All tiles were finished with a mitered edge join.
As this was the main family bathroom, the clients also requested good storage space. The three-door Keuco royal modular mirror cabinet was selected to maximize storage space while also providing a combination of warm/cool feature mood lighting in the bathroom along with the alcove and pendant bath lights by Sensio. We decided to connect all feature lighting on a separate dimmable gang switch to allow full control of the space.
Upon presenting the design proposal to the clients, they were thrilled with the concept as it meet all their requests. The job took 3 weeks to complete with the exception of the bespoke glass which required templating.
Arranging a final visit to see the completed bathroom, the clients were amazed by how similar the end result compared to the design visuals and have decided to return for their master ensuite renovation.
