"The focus of the room is the basin. This is carved from a solid marble slab, sourced from Italy, and weighs over 350kgs," says Corredor.

The giant basin is offset by marble flooring, pebble tile and marble feature walls and an ornate mirror. The resulting powder room manages to effectively juggle these elements, while retaining an individual character.

Tasked with adding a sense of space to his client's bathrooms, architect Craig Rossetti addressed this in various ways.

The basin is built seamlessly into the floating vanity, complementing the unit's recessed handles. This results in a clean and minimal finish, that almost disappears from the eye from certain angles.
