Port Melbourne Home 2 – Main Bathroom
Geometric feature tiles add a sense of playfulness in this monochromatic bathroom transformation in this small but meticulously designed terrace home in Port Melbourne.
In-home consultation
The homeowners, a young professional couple who have a two-year-old daughter, wanted a bathroom they could all use at the same time without feeling cramped. This was particularly important as it is the only bathroom in the house. They wanted to be proud to leave the bathroom door open.
The bathroom had been renovated less than 10 years earlier, but the room layout and poor build quality meant that the bathroom had aged much faster than it should have. Quality fixtures and fittings had been used, but their application was all wrong. This lead to water damage, hidden crevices for dirt and mould to build up in, cramped spaces and a bottle neck in the shower and vanity position.
Delivery
The boldly patterned yet simple bathroom now has an understated elegance to it. The geometric shapes and monochrome features make it the ultimate continuation of the beautifully renovated Victorian terrace. The renovation involved a complete strip out and rebuild, and now meets the homeowners’ specific functional and aesthetic needs.
The Dekton bench surface was paired with Laminex Riven timber laminate on the vanity, with the timber laminate incorporated in the custom vanity design to soften what may otherwise be a hard monochromatic colour scheme.
The design of the bathroom maximises storage with the large mirrored shaving cabinet positioned above the vanity.
