Above: Statuario Florim oversized
panels give the bathroom the sense
that it is carved out of solid marble.
Concrete walls behind the porcelain
panelling ensure the bathroom has a
quiet ambience – as if the walls were
solid stone.

large-format perimeter wall panels,
tiny Alarti Marble mosaics clad the
blade wall that neatly divid es toilet,
shower and freestanding tub.

Tiny Alarti Marble tiles on the blade wall
provide a dramatic contrast to the large-format
porcelain panels. The wall also highlights the
large freestanding stone bath in front of it.
“The sculptural, egg-shaped bath provides a
centrepiece to the room,” says the architect.
In contrast to the mainly restful, quiet tones,
all joinery and cabinetry elements are framed
in black, including the mirrors. Smith says this
provides a ‘visual direction’ to these elements.
“The different heights between the two wall
mirrors highlights both the shifting levels in the
home and the frosted window.”
Soft, understated lighting, including recessed
LEDs within the ceiling space, adds to the bath-
room’s feeling of intimacy and calm.
“Along with the bathroom’s harmonious
material palette, our minimalist treatment of the
surfaces and joinery further reduces unnecessary
visual stimulation and adds to the room’s overall
feeling of serenity,” Smith says.
“Generous storage in the vanity completes
the picture of practical luxury.”
