Leonie Hamill wins 2021 TIDA New Zealand Powder Room of the Year

Like many powder rooms, this one is in a potentially highly visible position – in this case, near the home’s front entrance.

Understandably, the owners didn’t want a utilitarian room to be visible on arrival.

This has been addressed by installing a cavity slider door, with the exterior stained to match the surrounding timber – resulting in the powder room entrance being hardly noticeable.

On the inside, the door is covered in the same large format ceramic tiles that fully clad the walls and floor, creating a sense of enclosure when the door is shut and the powder room is occupied.

The judges were impressed with the level of cohesion between all the materials and finishes that were selected.

They also noted the innovative use of an aged brass chain curtain to separate the shower from the toilet/vanity area, allowing the room to function as a secondary bathroom, while still retaining the dramatic impact that a powder room design should have.
