Kitchen with concrete floors & island bench, lime green splashback. Plumbing for upstairs bathroom concealed in drop ceiling to kitchen.

This contemporary bathroom design is a perfect balance of drama and serenity. Rich, deep green herringbone tiles instantly capture attention, creating a dynamic visual anchor while adding depth and texture to the shower space. Paired with warm brushed brass fixtures, the space exudes both modern luxury and timeless character. A minimalist floating vanity in natural oak tones complements the bold wall tile, introducing warmth and organic balance. The clean, circular vessel sink and wall-mounted tap reinforce the sleek, uncluttered feel of the room. A soft neutral floor grounds the space, allowing the rich hues and metallic details to shine without overwhelming. Ideal for clients who seek standout design without sacrificing functionality, this project showcases how bold choices—when balanced thoughtfully—can create a calming, elegant retreat.

The kitchen, located in the lower ground floor, was updated with bespoke cabinetry fitted around the chimney breast with a range cooker within the existing fireplace.
