Wanting a large bathroom that extends
naturally off the bedroom, Durban
interior designer Lisa Twyman planned
both spaces as one using a polished
concrete floor throughout for continuity.
“It’s essential in an open-plan bathroom
to get the floor level absolutely right so
the water drains in the right direction,”
says Lisa. The only barrier is a glass
screen that keeps the bedroom dry.
“As there’s no visual clutter, the effect
is very calming.”
Twin showerheads were installed
on the ceiling adjacent to the timber
screen, which provides privacy from
the neighbours but reveals views of
the sea. In the centre of the wet room,a freestanding bath adds a sculptural
element. A vanity resembling a cabinet
and a large painting give the room a
furnished feel. The toilet is tucked away
in a separate cubicle.
“We installed filmy floor-to-ceiling
curtains to hide the bathroom when
necessary and make the bedroom cosier,”
explains Lisa. THISSPREAD,CLOCKWISEFROMLEFT: Twin showerheads placed near the window
