Made from stainless steel, this deep, oval bath tub sits in front of an existing bay window, making it the visual focal point of the room. The owners asked Jameson for a tub big enough for two people to enjoy. In addition to this practical requirement, they also wanted it to be a beautiful, sculptural piece, he says. Its simple, reflective form contrasts with the backdrop created by the white plaster walls and original double-hung windows.
A special feature of the tub's design is the chrome tap spout. Mounted on a rectangular stainless steel stand beside the tub, it becomes a separate and distinct element that doesn't disrupt the tub's simple contours.
On the walls at either end of the tub, the custom-made matching vanity units, with integral hand basins and towel rings, are each fabricated from a single piece of shaped stainless steel.
The use of stainless steel continues through to the master bedroom. Here, curved panels of perforated stainless steel hang over the customised bed also made from stainless steel. The same material is used for a rolling window shutter, the stairway balustrade and two tall storage units.
"Carrying certain materials through from the bathroom to the bedroom, creates a sense of cohesion in this relatively small space," says Jameson.
