Ever had that morning annoyance of literally crossing paths with your partner in the bathroom when bleary eyes are barely open? Well it’s fair to say that that’s unlikely to be an issue in this spacious, smartly laid out master suite.

The master suite forms part of a new home by developer and homeowner Claude Giorgi. He wanted the master suite to be timeless and classic – offering a striking yet restful ambience.

“And this was partly achieved by the bold, symmetrical layout of the entire suite,” he says.

“Essentially, we created two, double-sided walk-through wardrobes that provide separate but identical, parallel entries into the master bathroom from the master bedroom.”

And once in the bathroom, the symmetry is continued, with his and hers vanities and benchtops set apart on opposite sides of the room – so no chance of sleepy early-morning collisions. The shower stall and toilet cubicle are set to the left and right at the end of the generous space.

However the luxury of dedicated personal space is only part of the allure of this ensuite – the material palette is equally appealing.

“Natural stone is used right through the space, from the floors to the feature walls and benchtops,” says Giorgi. “This includes on the two accent walls that rise floor-to-ceiling behind the centre of each vanity.

“In addition, a feature central strip of brick bond stone floor is continued under the freestanding stone tub and up the wall behind it – emphasising the open nature of the space,” says Giorgi

Soft Tuscan chestnut veneer cabinet doors and wall panels add to the enduring elegance and warmth required by the homeowners. The same wood is also used for the bespoke walk-in robes between the two rooms.

Completing the tonal and material palette, graphite coloured tapware is paired with the above-counter stone basins. These in turn are complemented by the deep-toned benchtops. Graphite-toned heated towel rails also feature.

“Of course plenty of storage space is another kind of luxury,” says Giorgi. “And as well as the walk-through wardrobes and broad, deep vanity drawers, the two banks of mirror-fronted wall cabinets also contain a wealth of storage.”

The upper cabinets include mood lighting, adjustable shelving and internal power points – so the ensuite is as functional as it is arresting.

Last but not least, the master ensuite’s many natural surfaces are bathed in morning light thanks to the inclusion of two high clerestory windows. The two banks of mirrors opposite each other reflect the occupants on into infinity and similarly help optimise natural light play.
