Room to bath

Transformation of office space into bathroom

City life Repurposing

Within this assignment, we created a multi-step plan together with the client for the total renovation of their single-family home. The house and especially the basement with kitchen, dining room and bathroom are in urgent need of an update. The first step in this master plan is to convert an office on the second floor into a second bathroom. This allows the bathroom in the basement to be reduced or even eliminated.

Because the space used to be an office, the necessary pipes for a bathroom were not yet present. That is why we investigated how all pipes could be concealed and extended to the correct location. Within this small space of approximately 7m², we designed a spacious light bathroom with a cozy atmosphere, through the careful interpretation of the space and thoughtful materialization. The client wanted a combination of bath with shower, one bathroom furniture with sink and storage space.

We visually divided the space into two zones, each characterized by its materialization. On the one hand, we place the combination bath and shower against the facade, in front of the window. The entire zone is tiled with zelliges (glazed Moroccan wall tiles) that are placed in a vertical relationship. On the edge of the bath we provide a shower screen of structured glass in a fine frame. This creates more privacy within the room and softens the incoming daylight in the bathroom, making it feel like a home.

The washbasin area is characterized by warm, soft materials and shapes. The furniture is provided in oak with black accents in the pullers and towel rails. A round countertop washbasin is placed on the oak tablet. Round mirrors with indirect lighting hang above the washbasin, which enhance the softness of the design language.
