New Bathroom

HIA-CSR ACT and Southern NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards

Winner: Pichelmann Custom Building Services

The use of warm natural materials in an open resort style setting is the highlight of this sophisticated and detailed ensuite. Built as one aspect of an amazing home, the ensuite has been designed to be the ultimate retreat for the owners and this is reflected in the level of detail, fit out and finish. The external courtyard that adjoins this space provides privacy and allows light to enter the bathroom and shower cubicle thru the floor to ceiling, wall to wall double glazed windows framed in solid European Oak window custom made in Katoomba. The double cavity sliding doors that open the ensuite up to the master bedroom are made out of the same solid European Oak so that closed or open, the view from the bedroom is always stunning. A unique aspect of this ensuite is the vanity and incorporated sliding mirrors are engineered to float free of the wall and are back lit to enhance this eye-catching feature, once again built out of solid oak and deep cut veneers. The vanity top and matching large format stone tiles are flamed and brushed granite which have a luxurious soft texture that ties in beautifully with the natural oak and subtle lighting. Additional details such as recessed lighting and ventilation, shadow lines to finished stone and plaster edges, custom built heated towel rails and electronic lavatory plus surround sound system and freestanding bath all work together to create the calming sanctuary that this outstanding bathroom was designed for. Judges commented on the harmonious design of this intimate space noting the incredible detailing which created a classic, functional ensuite that the owner will enjoy for years to come.
