My Design: Bathrooms

For one of my classes we had to design 3 bathroom options for a 35 year old single male perspective client. This client was made up, but the actual apartment was real. Here are the 3 designs I came up with: 


















I ended up selecting Option B because it was more dramatic and challenging. Adding the wall of mirrors reflects light in the small space and also makes it look bigger. Because I was designing for a man and since there would be added light I decided to paint the walls black and use black tiles in the design. Having an opened based sink gives the space more room visually as well. I also went with a pocket door to save on space.


















I decided to use a lot of fixtures from Waterworks . I love their ridiculously expensive products and since this was "pretend" and my budget was limitless I decided to daydream. On a side note I think it would be awesome to own a freestanding tub. Its a tub you could totally daydream in- there is something romantic about it. Cue candles, a rustic plank of wood across the top to hold you drink and book (or in my case magazine), and soft music. But then I think how often would I need to dust under the tub? Because if it has to be frequent this tub probably wouldn't work for me. When designing a space I always think of how am I going to clean this? Or does this need constant cleaning? Something you should consider when designing spaces for yourself or a client. 


Let me know what you think!
