But space restrictions usually mean that a compact, efficient design is a must.During the course of some extensive renovations to this Federation house, Kerry Fyfe of Monckton Fyfe Architects was asked to transform an existing bedroom into two back-to-back bathrooms and a linen cupboard.One of the bathrooms, shown here, has been pared back to the bare basics and simply contains a shower, handbasin and a toilet. The view of an ensuite with a curved blue tiled wall "The bathroom is virtually just a corridor, with a curving shower tucked into the corner," says Fyfe. "So as not to clutter the small space, there is no vanity. The sanitaryware simply hangs off the mirrored wall, which conceals a storage cupboard and has a recessed shelf."A restricted palette of materials and colour further enhances the illusion of space."The owners wanted a sensuous feel and to incorporate the colour blue. We covered the curved shower wall with baby-blue glass mosaic tiles." The view of a bathroom with white vanity, mirrors and blue tiled walls. White concrete floors offset the collage of tiles, and a mirrored wall visually enlarges the space.
