Light and Movement
This ensuite bath and wardrobe for a home on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River was confined to the same space as before the renovation, due to the placement of the door into the bedroom from the hall. The complete re-configuration of the space started with the centered placement of pocket doors to the bath. This maintained a symmetrical arrangement in the bedroom.
From there, all of the design elements were carefully aligned to each other; the tile selection and placement determined the sink placement, as well as the position of doors to wardrobe. Rather than resist the awkward proportions of the space, strong linear definition was used by the selection of floor and wall tiles.
A generous shower with multiple shower systems, is enhanced by the bench created from an extended tub deck. The tub is undermounted for a clean and uncluttered effect. The pedestal sink, which is flanked by shallow cabinets provides excellent function and takes less space than a conventional vanity |
