As they are often small spaces, bathrooms can be designed purely for practicality. However, by allowing in plenty of natural light, and using a defined colour and material palette, it is possible to create pleasant, individualised bathrooms like the ones on these pages.
These four bathrooms are all located in the same home in Singapore, which was designed by Maria Arango and Diego Molina of Ong&Ong.

In contemporary interior design, the beauty of a space is often derived from an appreciation of the functional materials it contains. In a bathroom, for example, the tub, plumbing and lighting can be decorative as well as useful objects.
Architect Jim Olson was asked to remodel two apartments in a 1960s building to create a single, open, uncluttered home. The spaces, including the bathroom, were stripped back to expose raw concrete, which became the floors and ceilings. Walls are filled with large windows that wrap around the entire building.
"The simple concrete structure provided us with a neutral background for the owner to display his modern art collection," says Olson. In the bathroom, the concrete surfaces meant plumbing was exposed. As a result, fittings such as faucets and the Agape spoon bath and basin were treated as sculptural objects in their own right. Because the bathroom is on the 22nd floor, it is completely private, so without window coverings, the owner has unhindered views of the city, lake and sea, the sunrise and sunset. To take full advantage of these views, the bathtub and shower are set in front of the window, separated from the rest of the bathroom by a glass wall and door. This creates a wet area and allows the views to be enjoyed from deeper in the room, where the vanity and handbasin are located. The vanity, a terrazzo slab, is designed so it appears to extend through the glass wall, making the two spaces flow together. Below it, a concrete shelf provides storage. "By having the shower and tub in their own glass box, the owner can hang pieces of art in the bathroom without worrying about damage from steam and water spray," says the architect.Even lighting has been designed with the art collection in mind. Track lights can be moved or redirected if the owner changes his paintings.

The wet area is a step above the rest of the bathroom. Ducts and wiring are in the lowered soffit.

As life gets faster, more people are wanting their master suites to provide them with a peaceful and comfortable haven. Insignia Kitchen & Bath was asked by the owners of this home to design a contemporary lodge-style bathroom. Designer Angie Keyes of Insignia Kitchen & Bath says one of the design challenges of this project was to blend clean, modern lines with rustic detailing and natural materials. To add a rustic touch, a waterfall above the tub cascades over a square of pebble tiles, while tumbled marble, hickory, and granite tops and bowls add to the natural ambience of the space.
To improve the layout of the bathroom, the designer altered the position of the doorway to allow plumbing fixtures to be relocated. Special drawers in the vanity were designed to conceal plumbing, and power outlets for electric toothbrushes were built into the top cabinets.

A make-up mirror is mounted near the vanity.

The shower features a 16-inch diameter rain head.

Angie Keyes of Insignia Kitchens & Bath designed this bathroom to be contemporary, but with a rustic, lodge-like feel. A waterfall cascades down the wall above the tub and forged metal lighting fixtures above it have contemporary shades.

Bathrooms are frequently remodeled to create a personal retreat. But the owners of this home took the idea one step further, remodeling another part of the house to provide a Japanese-style soaking tub and a traditional tatami tea room.
Designer Catherine Gerry says one of the owners is Japanese and wanted to be able to enjoy the traditional bathing ritual at home.
"Although he wanted the rooms to have an Asian feel, the design needed to have a modern sensibility," she says. "The custom-made concrete tub is very simple, with just a couple of water jets – the owner didn't want all the bells and whistles of modern tubs."
As the bath is a place to soak, not wash, the room also has a simple concrete bench with a shower, and a Japanese wooden bucket, ladle and stool. The traditional elements extend to the way the tub is filled – by a custom-designed waterfall spout.
"It was important that the tub could be filled to overflowing, so the limestone floor tiles incorporate precision laser-cut slots that provide a drain right around the tub," says Gerry.
The Japanese influence is also evident in the grass blinds, shoji screen doors and the tatami tea room. A slightly elevated platform around the edge of the room ensures the mats sit firmly in the center.

The master suite on the upper level features a similarly tranquil bathroom, notable for its watery glass wall tiles and bamboo wood cabinets.
Just like a traditional Japanese bath house, this spa room provides a soaking tub and separate wash facilities. The soaking tub, which is made from concrete, can be filled so that it overflows. Precision laser-cut slots drain the water.

The fluid, sculptural lines of a freestanding tub in a modern bathroom design will always attract the eye. When the curved bathtub is framed by clean, straight lines, the impact is even greater.
Interior designer Emily Summers designed this bathroom in conjunction with the original architect of the home, Max Levy. The architect completely reconfigured the existing space, setting the scene for the designer's makeover.
"The owners asked us to update what had been a 20-year-old space and give it 21st Century relevance," says Summers. "The house has clean lines with an emphasis on textural materials and prominent use of modern detailing – all these elements are echoed in the master bathroom."
Another request from the owners was for an abundance of natural light in the bathroom. To this end, floor-to-ceiling picture windows flood sunlight onto the tub and stone floors beneath. Privacy was addressed by the inclusion of diaphanous, full-length curtaining.

The introduction of the freestanding tub gave the elongated bathroom an aesthetic focal point. From here, Summers and Levy reinterpreted warm wood paneling found elsewhere in the house for the bathroom walls. The clean lines of the wood panels provide a contrasting backdrop for the tub. These are in rift-cut, quarter-sawn white oak.
In further contrast, the high-gloss lacquer cabinets play off the oak walls and stone floors, which give the room a tactile, natural aesthetic.
"This is a his-and-hers bathroom, with the hers component including a custom vanity and a built-in, freestanding mirror," says the designer. "The custom mirror required a detailed design process, addressing issues such as the appropriate height required for applying make-up and optimal lighting – this was addressed through pendant light fixtures hung by rigid nickel dowels."

This design is a unique and futuristic with an environmentally-conscious mentality without losing modern appeal. The idea of Abisko was born in a project in Kiruna, at the very north of Sweden, while working with a design an architecture project.

The design should allow free and creative usage compared to traditional basins.
