A large vanity was placed on both sides
of the line – one for him and one for her.
“We wanted the vanities to have quite
a dramatic feel, so we used black stained
solid oak panels – the same as we had
designed for the home’s kitchen joinery.”
The vanities help draw the eye to the
white framed bath tub placed under the
windows, while wall and floor tiles have a
subtle marble patterning. Classic tapware
and ornate mirrors enhance the look.
“I also wanted to provide a division
between personal and private spaces for
the owners, with separate areas for the
shower and the toilet,” says Geldof.
To achieve this, the generous shower
area is behind his vanity wall, while the
toilet was tucked into a light filled com-
partment behind the wall of her vanity
– an arrangement that continues the sense
of balance in the plan.
“I think the result is highly appropri-
ate for the home, with beautiful detailing,
simple lines and simple structures. It’s a
very special and luxurious space, which
also functions very well for the owners.”
Facing page: The his and her vanities have similar
black stained oak panel doors to the cabinetry
designed for the home’s kitchen. Her vanity area
includes a tall cupboard – for additional storage –
and second mirror at one end.
Above: While the ensuite has an overall open feel,
its design also cleverly caters for privacy, with the
toilet tucked in behind the vanity wall on one side,
and the shower compartment located behind the
other vanity wall.
