Master bathroom design ensures it’s filled with natural light
Light and privacy – the two age-old bathroom features that seem to always be at odds are resolved in several ways in this bathroom design

One key thing most homeowners want in a new bathroom is to have plenty of natural light. But this also has to be balanced against the need for privacy.
In this master bathroom in a new two-storey home, designer FuTung Cheng achieves this balance through a variety of different design features.
High above the vanity, a clerestory windows admits sunlight that penetrates below the home’s cantilevered, butterfly roof.
This same window continues across the back wall above the shower, where a large plenum formed from polycarbonate Plexiglass lets in additional, softly filtered light along this side of the room.

Meanwhile a small pivot window sits just above the right side of the sink, aiding ventilation and bringing in even more light.
As in the rest of the house, the master suite also illustrates FuTung Cheng’s hallmark use of concrete.
The custom designed, trough-like double sink was cast in glass fibre reinforced concrete by Cheng Design and incorporates a subtle veining pattern.

We talk a lot about kitchens today being at the heart of a home – a focal point where everyone can gather and be part of all the activity going on there. And that means most kitchens are open-plan. But when you open up your kitchen to adjacent areas, you need to consider how its style, materials and finishes work across those wider interiors.
