The brief was to turn a small space into a “grand bathroom.” Half of the space was a tiny wc, and the other, a small wardrobe. Despite the limited space, the bathroom was divided into two sections—one for a powder room and the other for a private shower corner. The shower area, accessed from the powder room through a built-in glass door, is entirely covered in dark Swedish limestone from Jämtland, creating a cozy, cave-like atmosphere. The limestone floor seamlessly extends from the shower to the powder area without a threshold. Both the floor and walls in the shower area are randomly laid with four different widths of the falling lengths to create a playful arrangement of the stone. To highlight the washbasin as the focal point, a kidney-shaped bowl was created, and installed slightly elevated from the rear ledge where the faucet rests. A mirrored cabinet, spanning wall to wall and up to the ceiling, matches the apartment’s turn-of-the-century style.
