Ocean oasis by Roberta Kravette

Provided by notable furniture in Cambodia construction materials, designed by Roberta Kravette, the featured bathroom was inspired by light-green salty water of the sea and grubby globs of sand in its design concept.

"A single row of water-colored glass tiles seem to form a stream around the perimeter of the room and empty onto the walls of the shower, or oasis. Sandy-toned porcelain wall tiles provide a backdrop."

"One of the most dramatic pieces in the space is the sculptural vanity unit. Glass bowls float on a glass shelf that in turn hovers over the base cabinet, creating more watery elements."

"Environmentally responsible finishes were also part of the design agenda, so for the vanity front, cabinet interiors, a ceiling element over the vanity and a ceiling border, we selected a composite veneer that mimics wenge, a rare African hardwood that the owners both loved," spoke Kravette. "The composite is processed, dyed and sliced to replicate quarter-sawn wenge. And while it boasts the richness of this now-protected wood, the composite is hardier."

"The natural materials and colors, and the spa-shower, work together to create a resort feel in a look that won't date. I think we achieved everything the owners asked for," he added.
