Budget bathroom renovation of the 1960s house. Vanity replacement, budget tapware, budget tiles etc..

This 1800's home provided a challenge or two throughout the remodel process - as most historic homes do. Our team was able to navigate the uneven walls an floors and still deliver a beautiful result. This bathroom has all the luxuries of modern times, without completely separating itself from the historic beauty of the rest of the home. It was such a pleasure to take on this unique project!

Transformation of a traditional Edinburgh Victorian property into an elegant and sophisticated space. The brief was to remain sympathetic to the original features and incorporate classic but contemporary furnishings. The living room is the social hub in this flat so additional seating was included for entertaining. The narrow bathroom isn’t blessed with space and previously housed a large 80’s style corner bath tub which dominated the room. Keeping a full size bath however was essential so the layout was rearranged to allow for this but also to create a more spacious and elegant feel through use of the wash stand, choice of marble effect wall tiles and soft grey colour scheme. The end result - a truly elegant, classic/contemporary home which doesn’t compromise on comfort or functionality.

Centoni converted this spectacular home’s 12-foot diameter 4th-floor turret into a lux steam shower and spa. Structural steel was engineered to create an uninterrupted opening to the turret from the main bathroom. Sophisticated waterproofing, ventilation, and heating solutions were also engineered to ensure the view was not interrupted, no matter how much steam was generated. For design inspiration, we borrowed the opulent experience of ancient Roman bathing complexes to create a truly luxurious environment. Hand-cut mosaic tile from Italy and brilliant white Thassos marble add a refined and formal touch to the space, while dark cabinetry provides a contemporary touch. The hand-hammered steel sink basins replicate ancient singing bowls’ calm and meditative experience. At the same time, dimmable lights allow the rare opportunity to shower by the City’s light. On the shower floor, a compass rose pointing true north with 24-karat French fleur-de-lys tiles symbolizes the importance of following the right path and our client’s desire for meditative balance. The space is both unique and meaningful. Centoni created the ideal retreat for anyone who longs for a calm, quiet bathing experience with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Art, Alcatraz, the Presidio, and beyond.

欧米では当たり前となっているこの形態だが、なぜか日本ではペデスタルシンクという物はあまり取り入れられて来なかった。最近になってようやくシャンプーや化粧水などのテレビCM や雑誌での登場機会が増え、女性達にとっての憧れのスタイルとなりつつある。 壁面には大判の暖かみあるマーブル調タイルに、ラスター釉がかけられた同種モザイクタイルをアクセントに採用。グレー系の600 角床タイルにシルバーで統一した金具類と併せ、より清潔感のある高級さを演出している。 Photo by 広井
