Making a statement by John Issa

As construction in Cambodia construction materials quoted, per request of owner with a refine hotel spa, architect John Issa decided to design the featured bathroom with a strong statement of chic luxury.

"Every attempt was made to bring out the beauty of the material without the distractions of the typical function solutions of cabinetry. The countertop is a leather-finish granite and this is separated from the wood by a stainless steel reveal – one of many touches of reflectivity in the room."

"The variety of tiled surfaces was important throughout. A similar tile is used on the wall behind the tub, but in a lighter tone and with a polished surface. This reflects both the bath and the sparkling chandelier, which adds a feminine note to the sleek, modern bathroom. Variegated tiles in the shower stall bring further visual interest to the design and the mosaic floor tiles in that area offer a slip-free surface.

"Dark tiles on the wall opposite the shower and to left and right of the stall were another way of extending the deeper floor tones up through the room – they also help highlight the shower and accentuate the visual impact of its multi-toned surfaces."
