Designed by Landmark Homes North Shore /RodneyFrom Landmark Homes:The owners and the aestheticThe homeowners had fairly conventional ideas and taste but were happy to be pushed a little into something more exciting. In terms of design aesthetics, they wanted the bathroom to have a luxury feel with rich finishes and they also wanted it to be a place to relax.Physical requirementsIn terms of inclusions, the owners wanted a view from the bath and from the shower; a strong connection to the outdoors; a double vanity; good size shower with place for shampoos etc; and floor-to-ceiling tiling. Long – and tall – the bathroom is bathed in light thanks to optimism glazing, clerestory window included. Constraints, solutions and design elementsThere was limited area to build on the site with an odd shaped building platform so the footprint for the bathroom was constrainedGiven the fantastic view – there were no other building sites beyond theirs to the beach – one end of the bathroom could not be used for the shower or vanity and the other end had the door into the bathroom so the shower location was a problem.However, putting the bath in the shower enclosure solved this with the owners being able to shower or bath and enjoy the viewThe homeowners had seen the Rubi Vanity from Robertson and loved the colour along with the bowls and this formed the basis for the colour palette which gives the en-suite its rich luxurious feel Double framing the outside wall allowed for the long slot soap/shampoo niche that runs across the shower/bath enclosure. Double framing the outside wall allowed for the long slot niche that runs across the shower/bath enclosure providing a place for both shower and bath to put shampoos etc.The double frame also allowed for recessed mirror cabinets for extra storage.We also worked with the electrician to put LED strip lighting in the recessed slot niche and this soft lighting contributed to the bathroom’s relaxed feel.Lastly, the strong masculine fittings went well with the rich tones in the tiles and vanity.
