Dramatic bathroom with niche areas for vanity, shower and tub
Sculptural bathroom by designers Davinia Sutton and Sam Lawrence with carved out purpose-fit alcoves for the freestanding bath, showers, and vanity areas.

Most often, space is borrowed and begged to enhance the function and look of a repurposed room however, the opposite can apply.
For this bathroom, designers Davinia Sutton and Sam Lawrence actually shaved space off the available volume of an existing under-roof, sloping-wall robe area by adding in vertical side walls. These reshaped the room, carving out purpose-fit alcoves for the freestanding bath, showers, and vanity areas.

"We wanted to capture and complement the master bedroom wing with a sensual bathroom experience. It was important for the design to have clean, sculptural lines, textured finishes, and simple fittings and fixtures," says Sutton.
The dual walk-in shower space takes centre stage while in one side alcove twin vanity bowls sit on a custom piece of furniture. This vanity, together with the mirror cabinet, provides ample storage, keeping the room uncluttered.

The space opposite showcases the bath. This has a timber element rebated into the rustic tile wall, resembling a bespoke piece of furniture.
"The palette is simple while texture brings warmth and personality. The play on form and finish creates a sense of luxury," says Lawrence.
