It takes clever design to make the most of a small bathroom and its limited area. But the designer who
tries to do this in not one but two bathrooms will really have their work cut out for them. A common
theme throughout is the presence of stunning tiles, sourced from Gasparre Tiles. Ranging from a mix of
glazed white rectified to dark-veined porcelain tiles, the two bathrooms showcase the variety of choice
on offer at Gasparre.
These clients had one bathroom on the ground floor and another up on the first floor of their home.
Their main design considerations were to have the bath separate to the shower in a limited space on the
first floor, while on the ground floor laundry facilities had to be concealed within the bathroom.
In the neutral ground-floor bathroom, Impact Design & Construct has incorporated a concealed
washing machine and laundry fixtures, a frameless glass shower screen, vanity with polyurethane doors
and drawer fronts and stone benchtops, plus a full-height fixed and awning combination window of
opaque glass. A strip drain not only picks up shower water but also acts as a main design feature.
Head upstairs to the first-floor bathroom, which has a P50 shadowline wall/ceiling junctions,
Smartwaste floor wastes, recessed shelf, a suspended vanity and frameless glass shower screens.
The bathrooms in this property could best be described as stylish, striking and contemporary. With the
addition of dramatic wall tiles from Gasparre Tiles and crisp, modern finishes and fixtures, these spaces
really pop.
