Often the wider design brief for a home
trickles down to influence the look of the
more intimate spaces – as with this modern
bathroom, one of two in a townhouse
development by architect Grant Amon.
“We designed the two houses – located
on a prominent corner site – with a close
integration of materials and forms so they
appear as one ambiguous building, down-
playing their impact,” says Amon. “This
included an emphasis on natural materials,
including natural woods, concrete floors,
metal cladding, recycled bricks and slate

tiling. And many of these rugged, honest
surfaces continue into the bathrooms,
which both include concealed laundries.”
The bathrooms’ heated floors are in
a dark, large-format Brazilian slate tile
as are the walls, giving these surfaces a
moody recessive feel.
Introducing a warm, natural texture to
complement the cool tiles, Amon finished
both the vanity unit and the wall conceal-
ing the laundry doors in cedar battens.
“To add another natural, quiet tone to
the palette, we specified a teal green solid
surface benchtop and splashback for the
vanity unit,” Amon says.
To set-off the look, the architect chose
understated contemporary fittings and
accessories. These include chrome tapware,
white top-mount basins and a toilet with a
concealed cistern and black pan lid.
