“This project required careful consideration
of all adjoining spaces,” says Duffin. “The exist-
ing space was a collection of small rooms that
lacked flow and functionality. Doorways were
removed and walls reconsidered to achieve a
spacious, relaxing master suite that enhances the
lifestyle of the owners.”
The apartment was on the top floor, so
Duffin was able to use the large ceiling void to
raise the height of both the bathroom and ward-
robe. A coffered ceiling over the shower area
hides mechanical ventilation and achieves a
well-lit shower space.
“The position of existing floors wastes is
always a major factor when redesigning an
existing bathroom in an apartment. Adding
a stepped curved shower wall allows for two
shower heads to be set apart from the vanity
area, while retaining the fixed waste position.”
Storage comes with a high ticket price in a
master suite. Here, space was reallocated from
the adjoining dining room to increase the foot-
print and capacity of the wardrobe. Positioning
mirror doors at the end of the wardrobe creates
an illusion of increased depth and provides a full
length mirror for dressing.
