Where We Started
In Auckland, NZ, our latest project showcases the transformative power of subtle yet strategic design changes.
The original bathroom, white and outdated, lacked the serenity our client desired. Dreaming of a tranquil ensuite as a respite from her bustling family life, we made pivotal adjustments.
By relocating the toilet to the opposite wall, we capitalized on the home's structure on piles.
This move allowed for a stunning, expansive vanity to become the room's focal point, thus completely elevating and anchoring the bathroom's aesthetic.
