Behal presented an ideal haven for a chic-classic house



Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, part of two adjoining 1880s brick cottages, the featured bathroom was an example of a suitable bathroom for the contemporary home with traditional background.

"Height restrictions were the determining factor," architect John Behal stated. "The roof could not go any higher, which meant we had to come up with some creative solutions. In the bathroom, for example, the glass walls of the shower go right up to the sloping ceiling, which gives the shower a sculptural presence. The curved, freestanding tub enhances the effect – the curves of the tub are juxtaposed with the sharp angles of the shower."

"Limiting the color palette to mainly warm gray and white, with dark wood accents, helps to create a serene oasis. We added a light, ethereal fabric for the bathroom window coverings, to soften the look of the tiles."

To create a sense of space, Behal cantilever vanity unit so that it appeared to float in the bathroom. "This also helps to make the vanity – and the two mirrors – seem like separate objects placed within the space, rather than part of the architecture,"
