4 Bathroom Modern Classic

Kerry bought this Forest Hill house so her parents could live with the family. She liked the layout. The bathrooms were another story, and two doors in the hallway swung into each other every day. The brief was modern amenities with a classic look that won't date in a few years. The family was overseas for a good part of the job, so our designer Dorothy Li measured up, drew the plans and took them through 3D elevations over Zoom. One rule held across all four spaces: 600x600 matte tiles, chrome tapware and clean lines. The vanities change from room to room to give each one its own character. The large downstairs ensuite stays light, with Cordona Pearl anti-slip tile on walls and floor, a white Qubo vanity with an oak accent, and a corner bath. The second ground-floor ensuite skips the bath for a bigger walk-in shower, a double-bowl oak vanity, Venice Beige tiles and underfloor heating. Upstairs we went a little vintage: a London vanity in Slate Matte with a Carrara top, antique-black cup handles, oval basins and diamond-cut corner shower glass. Three ensuites and a guest toilet with vanity Custom-built tiled showers with niches and custom glass Reece vanities, Newark corner bath and Evoke heated towel rail Underfloor heating in the walk-in shower ensuite Clashing hallway doors removed and a redundant opening closed in Balustrade rebuild and custom flooring linking the two levels Nick managed the build and sent the family daily updates while they were away, down to checking a comfortable vanity height before installing.
