each side,” she says. “Both the interior and
exterior of this oak element are full of practical
storage spaces, some hidden and unexpected.”
The bathroom also needed to pack a lot into
its fixed available space.
“It had to have all the fittings including
double basins and a bathtub, as well as accom-
modating the water heater and providing plenty
of bathroom storage.”
To meet all these requirements, the space
was divided into three areas – storage, vanity
and wet area.
The water heater was housed in the base of
a storage unit at the entrance to the room, with
a combination of open and closed oak storage
compartments sitting above it. This arrange-
ment also provides some privacy screening for
the vanity area.
A glass panel shields the vanity from the
shower in the wet area, which also contains
the bath. Timber slat flooring in this wet area is
divided into sections so it can be easily disman-
tled to clean the base floor underneath.
“The warm wood, blue-green handcrafted
tiles and lava stone basins all add natural, calm-
ing elements to the relaxed environment.”

upper floor’s two bedrooms, the
walk-through closet has pull and
slide doors on each side, that blend
into the cabinetry when closed.

the maximum amount of storage,
including additional compartments
inside the raised floor.
