This distinguished and inviting space was once an unused basement. Our clients had the vision to turn it into a second bathroom and we were tasked with designing this space to maximise its value. This space had strict restrictions to size, no capacity to go under floor for plumbing and no natural light. Due to these limitations the inclination can be to go as light as possible, risking the predominantly white colour palette feeling sterile. Instead, we used strong colour, strategically placed, to create depth and contrast. Custom fixtures, including a vanity, mirror, and inset shelving, were designed to make the most of every centimetre in this tight space… just over 4m2! From bare dirt and air to a stunning bathroom that I know our client gets so much pleasure from. This dead space is now a significant asset to the home. This renovation is the beginning of a whole house upgrade for this family home to be sophisticated, calm and interesting. Our clients were entirely engaged throughout the discovery phase in refining their aesthetic tastes. In the process to define their design vision, we saw how their tastes differed and what they shared. Reviewing these together resulted in a very clear and exciting direction for their refreshed home.
