Contrasting tones and textures provide a sense of drama The view of a house overlooking a pool and spa Rich, natural materials and a walk-through layout can bring the feeling of a resort-style space in tune with its environment. This bathroom illustrates this concept well.The brief was to create a luxurious retreat for the owner as well as extend the entertainment layout of the property, says interior designer Amanda Hookham. The view of a home overlooking a pool and spa "Travertine walls contrasted with lighter, marble quartz floors were used to achieve this," says Hookham. "The textured floors are a tonal extension to the exterior sandstone pavers and provide a gripping surface for the bathroom's wet areas."The solid surfaces temper sand-blasted glass doors, minimalist chrome fittings and a pared-back style of vanity. The detail of a window "As well as providing further contrast, the extensive use of glass and mirrors bring light to the space," says Hookham. "The natural stone materials are also a link to the scenic native bush that surrounds the home. Everything is designed to create a feeling of openness and luxury."To continue the feel of a resort-style retreat, occupants step from the steam room, via a glass door, to the swimming pool, which doubles as a plunge pool.
