The basins are from the same design range as the bathroom’s slipper tub.

Working along with the whole house architect allows a bathroom designer to address the very bones of the space before a single tile is laid.

Hither Consulting, with designer Angelique Perak at the helm, was engaged to work together with the architects on this bathroom in a new home. The collaboration was to enhance the relationship between the architecture and the bathroom’s joinery, finishes, and detailing.

“Essentially, the owners requested a master ensuite sanctuary that would work in harmony with the architects’ Hamptons-style pavilion home with a twist. The bathroom also had to echo the home’s seaside, resort-like ambience.”

“To extend the casual elegance of the space we removed the proposed bathroom door and introduced a second opening at the bath end of the space,” says Perak. “This opened up views out to the lagoon when the owner is in the bath.

“The Victoria & Albert Amalfi slipper bath seemed the perfect nod to the traditional detailing of the home with a modern style.”

The home’s pavilion concept was extended in this area by opening up the space above the main beams and adding up-lighting to enhance the architectural forms. Discreet lighting is used elsewhere to highlight elegant detailing.

“Warm travertine floor tiles create a visually soft base for the bathroom. Encaustic tiles in the shower add a classic patterning, which is in harmony with the tones and textures of the stone and panelling in other areas of the home.”
