Bathrooms are often neglected spaces in a house, even though upcoming trends put them more and more into focus. The aim in this Amsterdam apartment has been to to take away the sterile character associated with most modern bathrooms to create a space that literally comes alive. Experiences of nature formed the inspiration: the characteristics of water, the interaction of light and shadows, frost and decay, taking into account the ageing of the space and the materials. Sitting in the bathtub looking up, the bather becomes entranced by a ceiling of intersecting plasterwork circles, as if water were dripping upwards from the bath. The water droplet is echoed in the mirror hanging above the sink entitled Narcisse after the mythological boy who fell in love with his own reflection. A Slow White wash-table was especially designed for this bathroom.www.boreudler.com
