While a space may look simple and functional, on closer inspection it can reveal subtle elements of inspired design.This master bathroom by architect Richard Kirk, part of a remodelled 1920s house, has a streamlined look emphasized by wooden cabinetry that stretches out along one side of the room. The substantial rosewood vanity drops down at one end, bridging the small gap between the cabinet and the rim of the tub."As a detail that reoccurs throughout the house, the shelf not only finishes off the edge of the joinery, but provides a dry ledge on which to place a martini," says Kirk. View of the bathroom Topped in solid rosewood and finished in a maple veneer, the vanity has been raised off the floor to accentuate a sense of space. Two square basins have been strategically placed to ensure the views and the large window, a remnant from the original house, remain a focal point.A design feature that also meets the owners' brief for natural timbers in the bathroom is an internal window featuring opaque glass framed in amora wood. The window opens to provide the bathroom with a view through the bedroom, and to the views beyond.Kirk says he used black tiles on the floor to create depth in the room, wrapping them around the base of the tub and the shower recess and walls. View of the bathroom Ivory colored tiles line the remaining walls, their creamy tones adding contrast and warmth.
