Essentially a thoroughfare between bedroom and dressing room, this bathroom required a meticulously planned layout. We started by removing a false ceiling to restore the room to its original height and achieve a better sense of space. The position of plumbing was also restricted, meaning the shower and bath positions were dictated by the available drainage gradients. This left the vanity unit to create a focal point when entering from the bedroom. Of course the vanity in question couldn’t be very big so it had to earn its impact in other ways. Designed to our designers bespoke specification, it is a modern interpretation of a classic washstand with integrated white-glass basin and polished nickel frame.
