07: DESIGN CREER HOUSE
LOCATION RANDWICK, SYDNEY
Keeping to a strict palette of black, white,
timber and natural stone, this modern bathroom
features fl oor-to-ceiling marble tiling for aluxurious feel. Matte black fi xtures stand in
stark contrast to the all-white counter, bathtub
and toilet suite. “The building has a sense of
modern elegance with clean, simple lines,”
says architect Tanya Hancock. An elongatedlouvred window brings in plenty of daylight
and allows for controlled ventilation in a
space that encourages you to relax and linger.

LOCATION NORTH MANLY, SYDNEY
Natural timber and concrete are the bywords
of this Northern Beaches home in the Sydney
suburb of Manly. Natural materials give it the
‘beachy’ feel the homeowners wanted while the
subdued hues of the master bathroom refl ect
the relaxed nature of the house. But what makes
this space truly special is the view. With direct
access to the balcony via a set of folding glass
doors, this bathroom has an indoor/outdoor
feel that puts bathers right in the treetops. An
oculus in the balcony overhang allows plenty
of light to pour into the bathroom and keeps
things bright and airy. The simple fi xtures
and fl oor-to-ceiling tiling give the space a
streamline form that enhances rather than
competes with the view.

LOCATION TARANAKI, NEW ZEALAND
The ‘rustic’ vibe of this cosy bathroom belies
the very forward-thinking materials utilised in
this home’s construction. Made from hempcrete,
this rural dwelling is sustainable, well insulated
and fi re-resistant. Contributing to the palette
of hardy construction materials is the concrete
aggregate fl ooring that runs throughout a large
portion of the house, including the bathrooms.
Adding a touch of country charm is a large
freestanding copper tub, already sporting an
authentic patina, which is positioned under the
window to take advantage of the natural light.
A warm-toned fl oor textile brings warmth into
the space and a tall, leafy fi cus adds green life.
