Concrete, brass, plywood, granite, painted tiles and Venetian plaster come together in this bathroom
Natural materials and a colourful shower feature wall give this bathroom a sense of opulence and relaxation

For this project, the couple-owners of a 1930s character bungalow wanted a bathing space that would offer a sanctuary away from the world – one that expressed their outlook on life.
Sustainability, efficiency, and versatility was the design mantra for this bathroom and the wider studio loft addition it forms part of, says designer Jason Saunders of Arc Seven 1.
“For the bathroom, the homeowners wanted a space that expressed a simple layout and form and also linked to the minimalist aesthetic of the new studio.”

Inspired by the studio’s pared-back feel and the quest for sustainability, the designer created a bathroom awash with natural elements.
“The varied palette of concrete, brass, plywood, granite, painted tiles and Venetian plaster evoke the desired relaxed aesthetic. And the bathroom’s serenity is further enhanced by the inclusion of an Illume skylight, powered by solar panels and turned on at the click of a switch.”
Vibrant blue encaustic tiles in the shower add a touch of opulence and work well with the smooth Venetian plaster finish, that in turn accentuate the room’s clean, minimalist lines. The custom benchtop and floor are in concrete.
