Chunky materials in organic colours define the retreat-like scheme in this sophisticated wet area (above). “We were channelling hammam spa vibes with the large slabs of natural stone coupled with terrazzo tiles on the bathing side and finely detailed vanity on the other,” says architect Anne Hindley, who masterminded this generous bathroom in Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula. The beautiful and functional bathroom was designed with visiting guests in mind, but the enamoured owner has now had a change of heart. “I just love the size of it,” says the owner. “I know which bathroom I will be using!”
