provides an ideal transition between the
bathroom and bedroom.
“The reconfigured space now feels so
much more generous,” says Antoni.
Despite the open plan nature, the three
areas are still very clearly defined, helped
by the decision to raise the bathroom floor
up one step.
Adding to the demarcation is the
change to travertine-look tiles on the floor
of the bathroom platform, with the same
tiles also used on the vanity splashback, the
wall behind the bath tub and in the shower.
“So when in the bathroom, you feel
you are definitely in another space, yet
still feel part of the overall experience.”
While the toilet sits behind a nib wall
to give some degree of privacy, the bath,
vanity and – to some extent – the shower
are open to the rest of the suite.
“It may sound a bit clichéd, but every
time I go into that space, it feels like I’m
on holiday at some beautiful resort,” says
Antoni. “And having the connections to
views on both sides gives it a tranquil,
Zen-like feel.”
Facing page, lower: While the renovated bedroom,
bathroom and dressing room now form one large
open-plan space, each still has a sense of being
its own distinct area. This is helped by placing the
new bathroom on a raised platform and changing
the flooring to travertine-look tiles.
Above: The new bathroom is completely open to
the dressing room and to the bedroom, with views
beyond. There are also views from the shower to
the back garden and pool. The toilet is behind the
nib wall, providing a degree of privacy to that area.
