D


esigned by Mark Bruce for Beaver Kitchens, the owners had
strong ideas and inspiration for this bathroom renovation.
The end result is a perfect place to relax, pamper and soak
away the stresses of life. The room boasts double vanities
in Statuario vein marble, both with independent storage discreetly
located adjacent to as well as under basin cabinetry, detailed with
traditional quarter-turned pillars. In addition, a generous cupboard is
located behind the full-length mirror for towels and other items. LED
strip lighting has been concealed in the walls, cabinetry and ceiling
that surround the antique mirrors. Due to the owners’ diff ering time
schedules, the bathroom needed to have an isolation element for
reduced disturbance, yet cohesion with the bedroom and wardrobe.
For this reason, a separate room was created exclusively for the toilet,
bidet and freestanding basin. As the owners did not want glass in the
shower area, a generous tiled walk-through shower space has been
designed. Existing original double-glass doors have been included in
the renovated bathroom as a nod to the home’s era. Large windows fi ll
the north side of the bathroom and shower area and control of light
and privacy is managed by Santa Fe shutters. Beautiful surfaces and
light-fi lled space make this stunning bathroom the inner sanctuary
that was visualised.
