Shower and bath add to bathroom's sense of luxury
Purpose-fit alcoves in the newly shaped bathroom highlight various elements – including the spacious double shower and bathtub
For this bathroom, designers Davinia Sutton and Sam Lawrence actually shaved space off the available volume of an existing under-roof, sloping-wall robe area by adding in vertical side walls. These reshaped the room, carving out purpose-fit alcoves for the freestanding bath, showers, and vanity areas.
The dual walk-in shower space takes centre stage and is the central focus of the bathroom. A rain showerhead is tucked up high into an existing roof space.
The space opposite showcases the bath. This has a timber element rebated into the rustic tile wall, resembling a bespoke piece of furniture.
The side walls of this bathroom are finished in a similar tile to the floor Composto Sabbia is a field tile that reproduces the patina typical of worn natural stone. The bath niche insert is in a Prime Art American Oak veneer.
"The palette is simple while texture brings warmth and personality. The play on form and finish creates a sense of luxury," says Lawrence.
In this under-eaves bathroom, a new double shower tucks into an existing but tweaked dormer.
While the shower cubicle is slotted into an existing dormer, another dormer was created directly across the house, in the master bedroom.
