The showstopper This condo was once two separate units, and so rather than one long skinny space, homeowner Andrew Patton created two distinct bathroom units: one features the oversize wet room, with its four distinct rainshower heads and Aquabrass shower wand; the second is all about the tub, a BainUltra jetted bath.
Colour Conscious It’s cool and neutral throughout, thanks to the consistency of materials. From the tub and shower surrounds to the counter and backsplash, travertine is the dominant material used in both rooms, while floors are tiled in dark porcelain.
Furnish It A mirror that continues above and below the vanity and basin creates depth in the room. Recessing the medicine cabinet takes advantage of room between the studs in the wall, gaining valuable storage space.
Spa Zone Much of the 1,500-plus-square-foot condo is open concept (Patton wanted to take advantage of views over the port of Vancouver), and the bathroom can be, too. But for more private, Zen-like moments in the soaker tub, frosted sliding glass doors on industrial rails enclose the space. Lit from underneath, the frosted glass becomes a mood-setting light source.
Hidden asset There are both practical and beautiful reasons for the travertine bath surround. The beautiful structure houses the workings of the jetted bath. And in the one pocket of empty space left in the surround, a walnut storage cube holds bathing accoutrements, from towels to soaps and bath salts.
