01: DESIGN SOUTH YORKSHIRE HOUSE

LOCATION SOUTH YORKSHIRE, UK

Despite its 1920s facade, the ap Harris family

went for a modern take on their interiors when

they restored the old movie theatre in their

hometown of Thorne in South Yorkshire. A

testament to the abundance of concrete used

throughout the project is the master bathroom,

which features a fl oor-to-ceiling concrete wall

with inset niche, clearly showing the marks of

the boards used to frame the formwork of the

concrete pour — in eff ect becoming the feature

wall of the entire bathroom. Filled with natural

light that pours in from an overhead skylight,

this bathroom has a modern style that is

neutral but not cold, functional but not sterile,

and most defi nitely unique.

02: DESIGN FIELD HOUSE

LOCATION BRIGHTON, VICTORIA

Flooded with natural light, this modernist-style

house has a moody bathroom in black and white

tones that overlooks an internal atrium, making

it feel like you’re bathing outdoors. Sleek lines,

handleless cabinets and high ceilings help the

space feel airy and open. Glossy surfaces, like

chrome fi xtures and porcelain tiles, bounce light

around the space, adding to the overall sense

of being outdoors. An orange-painted cabinet

inset brings in an unexpected pop of colour

that delights the senses.

03: DESIGN LITTLE HARTLEY HOUSE

LOCATION BLUE MOUNTAINS,

NEW SOUTH WALES

A distinct lack of airs and graces surrounds

this minimalist bathroom located in the Blue

Mountains. Polished concrete fl oors and stark

white walls are warmed with the addition of

honeyed timber trim and accessories. But who

needs frills when the view is the point! Large

picture windows sit on each side of the room,

fl ooding it with natural light and drawing the

landscape inside to add colour and texture to

the otherwise naked space. Quintessentially

Australian, this bare-faced bathroom makes

the most of its environment rather than

competing with it.
