Prior to its chic reincarnation from ForestOne, this ensuite was tired and dated. Saddled with a built-in spa bath that the clients never used, a poky shower with full-framed glass, black and white chequered tiles, cool-white overhead lighting and a small double vanity devoid of bench space, the bathroom felt cold and commercialised.
Today, the ensuite is chic, modern and refreshed. To foster a luxe hotel-like atmosphere, designer Darren James created light wells above the bathtub, shower bay and separate toilet. The adjoining walk-in robe dictated the size of the ensuite, while the layout was determined by budget. To keep costs under control, the existing waste locations were maintained. This meant the placement of the bathtub, toilet and vanity were predetermined.
The bespoke vanity features a Maximum Fior Di Bosco porcelain top. Replicating the appearance of natural stone, it offers the durability of porcelain and looks fantastic when combined with the Brown Tossini Elm single-drawer double vanity below. Brown Tossini Elm from Egger was an ideal choice as it provides an elegant and natural wood grain structure with pearlescent base that lends a high-end finish to the vanity. Large mirrored shaving cabinets mingle with wall-mounted tapware to provide a sense of scale and height.
By utilising outdoor-grade substrates, the design brings the Brown Tossini Elm down the entry walls to create a link between the walk-through robe and the ensuite, creating cohesion and cementing the bespoke interior feel.
From its full sheets of laminated wall cladding and bespoke vanity, to the warm LED lighting and frameless fluted glass shower screens, this ensuite is as functional as it is fetching.
