shower and this floods the room with light.”
“The wall opposite the door was chosen as
the place for the vanity and, always being on
show, this had to be beautiful. We designed the
bespoke unit with a solid, round-edged walnut
countertop and two large servo-drive drawers.”
The vanity also features a handmade ceramic
countertop bowl, furthering the rounded look.
“We positioned the large, fixed vanity mirror
and two elongated display cabinets to balance
the understated vanity,” says Genner.
Acknowledging the lofty proportions of the
space, the designer introduced a tall ladder, also
in walnut, as a towel rail in the shower area.
“The large-format wall tiles provide a canvas
for other feature elements to stand out against,”
says Genner. “Along with the tub, the tiles’
subtle, lace pattern adds another traditional
accent to the room’s otherwise clean-lined feel.”
The size of the tiles also reduced the number
of grout lines required, giving the wall surfaces
the look of wallpaper. An ornate picture rail
caps the tiles, adding another old world touch.
“The minimalist pendant above the vanity
creates an artistic focal point – a refined element
within the vanity wall composition.”

ladder in walnut – matching the use
of the same wood on the adjacent
vanity countertop – makes for a
feature towel rack in the shower
area and draws attention to the
bathroom’s exceptionally high
stud. Together with a new skylight,
frosted glass shutters admit natural
light into the shower area without
compromising privacy.
