A plain powder room with no window or other features was transformed into a glamorous space, with hotel vibes.

This penthouse apartment has glorious 270-degree views, and when we engaged to complete the extensive renovation, we knew that this apartment would be a visual masterpiece once finished. So we took inspiration from the colours featuring in many of their art pieces, which we bought into the kitchen colour, soft furnishings and wallpaper. We kept the bathrooms a more muted palette using a pale green on the cabinetry. The MC Lozza dining table, custom-designed wall units and make-up area added uniqueness to this space.

Modern bathroom with feature wavy tiled wall, with round mirror with LED back light..

A generous walk in shower makes the most of space and easily stores toiletries in a tiled niche. The frameless shower screen with hinged door supports the light and airy feel of the bathroom while a dual shower with overhead rain shower and hand shower sit perfectly within the space.

An ensuite with a tranquil feature wall and stunning custom floating cabinets. Combining the spacious draws and mirror cabinet this space has more storage than you first realise. Clean lines and a calming sensation, a relaxing retreat for morning and night.

Modin Rigid offers true embossed-in-register texture, creating a surface that is convincing to the eye and to the touch; a low sheen level to ensure a natural look that wears well over time; four-sided enhanced bevels to more accurately emulate the look of real wood floors; wider and longer waterproof planks; an industry-leading wear layer; and a pre-attached underlayment.

Contemporary Black Guest Bathroom With Floating Shelves. Black is an unexpected palette in this contemporary guest bathroom. The dark walls are contrasted by a light wood vanity and wood floating shelves. Brass hardware adds a glam touch to the space.

FIRST PLACE 2018 ASID DESIGN OVATION AWARD / MASTER BATH OVER $50,000. In addition to a much-needed update, the clients desired a spa-like environment for their Master Bath. Sea Pearl Quartzite slabs were used on an entire wall and around the vanity and served as this ethereal palette inspiration. Luxuries include a soaking tub, decorative lighting, heated floor, towel warmers and bidet. Michael Hunter

Project Details Designer: Sarah McDonald Cabinetry: Brookhaven Frameless Cabinetry Wood: Rift Cut Driftwood Finishes: Horizontal Grain Door: Vista Plus Countertop: Quartz Some designers are less than enthusiastic when it comes to bathroom vanities but I love them…particularly when a client wants to maximize both their functionality and beauty. This custom 72” is a great example. Its clean, modern style gracefully floats in the space and behind the doors is an array of unique storage options. To complement the simplicity of the vanity lines, instead of adding another cabinet or armoire, we opted for cool floating drawers and shelves. The lighting and faucet fixtures echo the modern and tailored aesthetic.

Zellige tile is usually a natural hand formed kiln fired clay tile, this multi-tonal beige tile is exactly that. Beautifully laid in this walk in door less shower, this tile is the simple "theme" of this warm cream guest bath. We also love the pub style metal framed Pottery barn mirror and streamlined lighting that provide a focal accent to this bathroom.

The guest bathroom has the most striking matte glass patterned tile on both the backsplash and in the bathtub/shower combination. A floating wood vanity has a white quartz countertop and mid-century modern sconces on either side of the round mirror.

Pour ce projet, l’agence a travaillé en partenariat avec un architecte DPLG, chargé de réunir la bâtisse principale, héritage familial avec la grange de la propriété. Une fois les volumes de gros œuvre définis, notre mission a été de concevoir les 250 m2 en termes d’agencement, de circulation, de matériaux, et de décoration. Le point central de notre réflexion s’est articulé autour d’un escalier en colimaçon, dessiné par Alexandre et sa coursive, reliant les 2 bâtiments. Tous les volumes ont été pensés pour une vie de famille aimant recevoir. suite de la lecture sur notre site internet : www.duo-d-idees.com/realisations/le-charme-de-la-campagne
