01 · The problem
A large bathroom that felt cold and clinical — five different surfaces, a shaving light over the mirror and no natural light reaching the bath.
Bathroom
Still Water
A primary bathroom stripped back to three materials and a single, generous source of light.

02 · The move
We reduced the palette to stone, timber and brass, and relocated the bath to the window. The shower moved into the space the bath vacated, which is where the drainage already was.
03 · The detail
The vanity is a single timber volume with an integrated stone top and no visible hardware. Lighting is layered — a warm wash at the mirror, a low circuit for late nights, and nothing overhead pointed at anybody's face.
