Sweethome Bathroom

A sanitaryware showroom has to do two jobs at once. It has to hold a lot of product, and it has to make each piece feel worth stopping for. We answered both with the same move: everything sits on a raised white plinth with a concealed light line at its base, so the product floats and the floor stays clear.

The plan reads as a route. A marble reception desk on a lit taupe base greets the visitor, black marble piers with a thin edge of light frame the entrance, and a matte black wall of showers and mixers draws you into the main hall.

The hall itself is kept white, pale tile underfoot, white walls and black track lighting overhead, so the products supply the only colour. Freestanding baths gather under a run of floor mounted fillers, the toilets and cisterns line up along a lit partition, and a chevron stone wall with backlit round mirrors carries the basin displays on the far side.
