The palette
Created as a restful retreat for a young couple – who didn’t want to detract from their apartment’s enviable ocean views – this ensuite bathroom by Cassie James-Herrick is carefully considered and calming. Its restrained and creamy palette of soft greys, matt whites and gunmetal fixtures was presented as a way of offsetting the gorgeous yet harsh coastal aspect, and to reference the curvaceous shape of the building. Arched niches and rounded feature pieces throughout the apartment also reinforce this.
The Moda ‘Amelie’ freestanding bath mimics the curves of the custom vanity, which is crafted from Raw Cotton laminate by Laminex and accessed via shapely pulls by Linear Standard. The subtle impact of the terrazzo-style floor and mosaic-tile wall creates a harmonious meeting of tone and texture that leaves the space feeling lovely, light and luxurious. Cassie’s choice of curtains was the perfect finishing touch; they filter the light reflected off the ocean and soften all the harder materials. 1 Verrazzo ‘13642’ tiles, $85.60 per sq m, Academy Tiles. 2 Soft hooks, $33 each, Linear Standard. 3 Marchetti ‘Tin Tin’ wall light, $429, Gineico.
