Slate shower master bathroom.

For the bathroom we used a straight-set dark slate tile to contrast with the white walls elsewhere and create a calm, meditative space. A large mirror creates the illusion of a larger space while also capturing more of the daylight though the window. We chose chrome fixtures to contrast against the dark, matte finish of the slate.

Main floor bathroom wiht curbless shower, hex tile floor, wall mounted sink and through wall exhaust fan as the ceiling is the structural cardecking of the floor above (to save ceiling height which is limited in Cottages by city zoning).

This gem of a home was designed by homeowner/architect Eric Vollmer. It is nestled in a traditional neighborhood with a deep yard and views to the east and west. Strategic window placement captures light and frames views while providing privacy from the next door neighbors. The second floor maximizes the volumes created by the roofline in vaulted spaces and loft areas. Four skylights illuminate the ‘Nordic Modern’ finishes and bring daylight deep into the house and the stairwell with interior openings that frame connections between the spaces. The skylights are also operable with remote controls and blinds to control heat, light and air supply. Unique details abound! Metal details in the railings and door jambs, a paneled door flush in a paneled wall, flared openings. Floating shelves and flush transitions. The main bathroom has a ‘wet room’ with the tub tucked under a skylight enclosed with the shower. This is a Structural Insulated Panel home with closed cell foam insulation in the roof cavity. The on-demand water heater does double duty providing hot water as well as heat to the home via a high velocity duct and HRV system.

Hall Bath remodel. Our client chose beautiful cherry wood double vanity, undermount sinks, with a darker counter top. Built in cherry medicine cabinets for extra storage. This renovation included swapping the tub for a walk-in shower. Beautiful frame-less glass sliding door, pebble tile flooring, slate tile walls and niche for toiletries.

“..2 Bryant Avenue Fairfield West is a success story being one of the rare, wonderful collaborations between a great client, builder and architect, where the intention and result were to create a calm refined, modernist single storey home for a growing family and where attention to detail is evident. Designed with Bauhaus principles in mind where architecture, technology and art unite as one and where the exemplification of the famed French early modernist Architect & painter Le Corbusier’s statement ‘machine for modern living’ is truly the result, the planning concept was to simply to wrap minimalist refined series of spaces around a large north-facing courtyard so that low-winter sun could enter the living spaces and provide passive thermal activation in winter and so that light could permeate the living spaces. The courtyard also importantly provides a visual centerpiece where outside & inside merge. By providing solid brick walls and concrete floors, this thermal optimization is achieved with the house being cool in summer and warm in winter, making the home capable of being naturally ventilated and naturally heated. A large glass entry pivot door leads to a raised central hallway spine that leads to a modern open living dining kitchen wing. Living and bedrooms rooms are zoned separately, setting-up a spatial distinction where public vs private are working in unison, thereby creating harmony for this modern home. Spacious & well fitted laundry & bathrooms complement this home. What cannot be understood in pictures & plans with this home, is the intangible feeling of peace, quiet and tranquility felt by all whom enter and dwell within it. The words serenity, simplicity and sublime often come to mind in attempting to describe it, being a continuation of many fine similar modernist homes by the sole practitioner Architect Ibrahim Conlon whom is a local Sydney Architect with a large tally of quality homes under his belt. The Architect stated that this house is best and purest example to date, as a true expression of the regionalist sustainable modern architectural principles he practises with. Seeking to express the epoch of our time, this building remains a fine example of western Sydney early 21st century modernist suburban architecture that is a surprising relief…” Kind regards ----------------------------------------------------- Architect Ibrahim Conlon Managing Director + Principal Architect Nominated Responsible Architect under NSW Architect Act 2003 SEPP65 Qualified Designer under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 M.Arch(UTS) B.A Arch(UTS) ADAD(CIT) AICOMOS RAIA Chartered Architect NSW Registration No. 10042 Associate ICOMOS M: 0404459916 E: ibrahim@iscdesign.com.au O; Suite 1, Level 1, 115 Auburn Road Auburn NSW Australia 2144 W; www.iscdesign.com.au

Großzügige, randlose Dusche mit einfacher Glasscheibe zur leichten Pflege und Reinigung. Durch die Montage des Regenwasserkopfes musste die Decke abgehängt werden. Wir haben den Deckenaufbau zusätzlich genutzt, um die Dusche mit LED-Band zu beleuchten. Die Glasscheibe der seitlichen Abtrennung, wurde durch eine Halterung überhalb der Duschkabine befestigt.
