Sometimes a straightforward approach can bring out the best in a bathroom. A simple material palette and division of use can evoke a sense of space and tranquility.

This bathroom by architect Shaun Lockyer has a modest footprint but still achieves an expansive feel. Several factors contribute to this, says Lockyer.

"Floor and walls are finished in travertine tiles the uniform look is restful and spa-like, and enhances the sense of space. Countertops are in Italian marble and we specified standing basins to further the resort-like ambiance."

The shower enclosure is at one end of the long, narrow space and the bath is set into a niche at the other, again accentuating the impression of plenty of room to move.

"A wall-length mirror doubles the space visually, and the glass shower enclosure and semi-transparent, acrylic privacy screen avoid blocking extended sightlines," says Lockyer.

Lighting design makes its contribution to the spa-like feel. A set-back ceiling allows light to filter in from above, and placing the glass louvers high up addresses privacy issues the house is in close proximity to its neighbors.
