14: DESIGN GLASS HOUSE
LOCATION DOONAN, QUEENSLAND
Set in a private courtyard off the master suite,
this outdoor bathroom refl ects the resort-style
living desired by its builder and owner Sarah
Waller. Careful to remain a space of relaxation,
the outdoor shower — a necessity in any house
close to the beach — is outshone by the nearby
bath and its enveloping tropical foliage and
moss, creating a spot possibly too idyllic to even
dream about. The use of a range of stone sets
the space fi rmly in the outdoor realm and will
prove to be hardwearing over time. This tranquil
space is one to be envied!

CHIPBOARD HOUSE
LOCATION OCEAN SHORES, NSW
Featuring an Ampelite roof that allows light
to pour in, this compact and simple home is a
testament to restrained yet clever design. In
keeping with the home’s clean aesthetic, the
single bathroom is uncomplicated and neutral,
with minimum fuss and maximum chic. Large-
format, fl oor-to-ceiling tiles in a neutral shade
make the room appear larger. Mirrored cabinets
above the vanity refl ect light around the
room and a single square basin completes the
contemporary design. Live plants add a splash
of vibrant green, breaking up the neutral paletteof the room and bringing life into the space.

LOCATION MOUNT ALBERT, AUCKLAND
A black and white palette defi nes this modern
family bathroom. Sleek and clean, the
angular lines and rectangular shapes create
a geometrical space that is both functional
and pleasing to the eye. Hand-crafted subway
tiles produce an organic feel that softens the
sharp angles and at the same time elevates
the ‘vogueish’ quota of the space. Timber
touches in the fl ooring and mirror add a natural
element, while the touch of gold from the light
fi xture gives the space some pizzazz. A high
narrow window brings in plenty of light without
sacrifi cing privacy.

LOCATION BRUNSWICK, VICTORIA
With a hint of ‘80s modernity, this
monochromatic bathroom is a sophisticated
space of minimalist proportions fl ooded withnatural light. The geometric-patterned fl oor tile
off ers a visual feast, while the old-school square
wall tiles are updated with a grey grout that gives
them a contemporary look. The neutrality of the
space is in keeping with the overall theme of the
home’s modern aesthetic. Low-profi le matte
black fi ttings fi nish off the space and fl oor-to-
ceiling windows off er users an urban view over
the neighbourhood — though one has to ask: are
the windows one-way viewing?
