This page: The master ensuite has
the same clean, bold look and feel
of the main bathroom. In a design
where simplicity is to the fore, the
ledge above the basins is in the
same proportions as the wood
pelmet – seen in images of the other
bathroom. The glass shower adds
to the sense of space and allows
someone showering to still take in
the views. In another example of
practical design, the stall is designed
to avoid need for an operable door.

glass splashbacks, front door and the bathroom
tiles. The pale blue floor and wall tiles contrast
and complement the clear finish wood surfaces.
Timber lighting pelmets over the mirror-
front wall cabinets extend use of the Southland
silver beech. They also fall in with Kamermans’
thinking in terms of practical, honest design.
“Often dedicated lighting in a bathroom can
be from the ceiling, but there is a practical issue
there in that with an overhead light, shadows
fall across your face offering poor illumination
for shaving or makeup,” he says. “By introduc-
ing pelmet lighting, the entire face is lit-up, a
similar principle to ball lights round a makeup
mirror in a Hollywood dressing room.”
In further pursuit of strength and simplicity,
the taps, floor-standing tub pourer and the door
handles are all of a similar contemporary form.
Even the towel rails continue the clean-lined
chrome look. But, instead of going with a multi-
rail, Kamermans introduced several shorter
rails in symmetry. As well as offering plenty of
towel space, aesthetically they look fantastic.
