Borrowing the light from outside source by Jim Zack




"The client wanted a light-filled, minimalist bathroom space," stated architect Jim Zack, as quoted by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials

Due to the location, the bathroom was positioned in a low light penetration area. Thus, Zack introduced the use of a translucent glass screen to borrow a source of light from the neighbor room.
"Introducing a large translucent glass screen provided an eye-catching solution. A fair amount of time was spent gauging the right level of opacity for the glass. We wanted to create interest from one room to the other, while at the same time retaining a degree of privacy."

The architect furthered with the design: "We recessed the bathroom wall to create a subtlety of difference within the bedroom," 

"This could have been taken a step further, with this inset wall finished in a quite different colour. However, the result would have looked much busier, and detracted from the minimalist feel." he finalized.
