Project Year: 2023

Curved forms soften the space, seen in the retro walnut timber handles, organic shapes of the wallpaper pattern, and the space age retro white pendant light. This juxtaposition of multiple patterns and colours creates a lively, fun space bursting with energy, that pays respect to the era of and...

Clapham Mid-Century Ensuite, Bathroom, and Laundry Renovation

A young family inhabit a 1952-built mid-century home nestled in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. They adore Modernist architecture and have a collection of vintage furniture and décor throughout their home.

Clapham Mid-Century Ensuite, Bathroom, and Laundry Renovation

At the top of the wishlist was creating an ensuite to give the parents their own space. The clients were open to using the floor area of the separate toilet, hallway to outside and part of the master bedroom to achieve this.

The primary challenge of this mid-century bathroom was addressing the layout and functionality of the space. Removing the existing terrazzo floor and galvanized plumbing provided the freedom to completely reconfigure the room. The adjoining linen cupboard in the hallway was removed and this area...

The new layout features a built-in bath along the southern wall with a generous open shower next to this, providing full access for easy supervision and assistance at bath time. The toilet has ample circulation space in front and beside it, allowing parents to assist young children. The vanity is...

To ensure safety, floor tiles with a high slip rating were chosen and there is no set down to the walk-in open shower. The bath is built at 500mm high, making it easy for parents to help during bath time, and for children to get in and out easily and safely.

The nature inspired colour palette of pale green and white, with accents of timber and brushed nickel creates a space that is calm and peaceful. Natural light is filtered through the obscure glass and additional task lighting is provided by the retro styled white LED wall light.

The tile height and built-in bath create clean horizontal lines and reflect bathroom design of this era. Curved forms soften the space, in the rounded bath, pill shaped mirror, space age wall light and round vanity basin. The lively terrazzo floor tiles pay respect to the era of this colourful,...

A young family inhabit a 1952-built mid-century home nestled in the southern suburbs of Adelaide.

Whilst the rest of the house has been updated, the wet areas were in original condition and...

The clients disliked everything about the existing laundry; it had no storage, was dark, and the louvred windows were permanently open. They were keen to change the layout to incorporate a door to the backyard, so long as the design incorporated plenty of storage, a decent sized benchtop and felt...

The clients wanted their mid-century laundry to be a vibrant, bold and fun space that is sympathetic to the era of the home through both design and use of authentic colours and materials.

Mid-century patterns are introduced through the terrazzo floor tiles and bold square yellow splashback tiles. Laid stack bond, this geometric grid pattern is highlighted by using white grout.

The clients’ vision was a functional and easy to clean mid-century ensuite with ample storage and a shower ledge. They wanted their new retreat to be sympathetic to the original era of the home through both the design and use of authentic colours and materials.

The first challenge of this project was finding the space to create an ensuite. By combining small areas of underutilised space – a hallway, the toilet and a small area of the master bedroom – we were able to create not only an ensuite, but also a new entry to the master suite, providing a...

A second challenge was working with different wall and floor types within the room. The area was comprised of both infill and raft slabs. Pouring a new slab gave the freedom to place plumbing fixtures in optimal position. Some sections of wall were constructed with both brick and timber frame. To...

The design features a generous sized enclosed shower with a wall ledge for storage. A 1200mm wide vanity provides ample drawer storage for easy and ergonomic access to contents. Further storage is provided by the wall cabinet, which offers surround view hinged mirrored panels and LED task lighting...

The hero of this ensuite is the bold terrazzo tile used on the floor and shower ledge. Both these and the peach wall tiles replicate authentic interior colours and materials of the 1950s. Mid-century design is further referenced by using strong geometric lines, seen in the tile placement and height...

The perimeter framed shower screen which reduces water egress, rimless back to wall toilet suite, large format floor tiles, wall hung vanity, the simple design of the tapware, and additional exhaust fan above the shower to extract moisture all contribute to making this space easy to clean.
