Newport House
Pattern recognition and angled poise anchor this compact bathroom within a beachside family home
Essential fixtures and furnishings are distilled to sleek sculptural forms, whilst robust materials like chrome, steel and stone create a sense of refinement.
Impact is achieved via minimal yet highly calculated spatial directives. Orthogonal pattern-play and balanced geometrical measures create a generous sense of space for a small footprint.
Demarcated only by a sheath of clear glass near the room’s entrance, sightlines towards the vanity remain uninterrupted, whilst the room appears ‘open.’ Square matte black tiles direct a pathway towards the vanity, make a right angle turn past the shower, darting up the wall to define the door-less bathing zone. Framing the heated towel rods, this vertical band lifts the gaze towards the white ceiling, in turn heightening the space and decompressing its modest width.
