Bathroom • Florida Street, Bethnal Green, London, UK
Existing green subway tiles are gone. New green-toned ceramic, plaster, and stone surfaces create depth. The singular copper bathtub remains. Dark bronze fixtures integrate with the scheme.
Large format matte porcelain tiles line the shower. Polished dark green marble covers the vanity and lower wall. Deep green Venetian plaster finishes upper walls and ceiling. Dark green terrazzo tiles feature subtle light green aggregate on the floor.
The room uses green tones to build visual depth.
Design Philosophy
This design uses Monochromatic Design principles. A singular green palette ensures visual unity. Tactile Layering creates depth through varied surfaces. Light then highlights subtle material differences.
Spatial Narrative
Your eye first sees the copper bathtub. You walk towards the shower. The vanity offers a place for routine tasks.
Light Study
Morning light enters through the window, illuminating the Venetian plaster. Evening light from recessed LEDs emphasizes the varied textures. These layers of light highlight material differences.
Living Vignette
Water flows from the dark bronze tap. Steam collects on the cool marble vanity.
Material Palette
Large format matte green porcelain tile: It feels smooth and cool. It resists wear and stains.
Polished dark green marble: It feels cold and glassy. It develops a rich patina over time.
Deep green Venetian plaster: It feels soft and powdery. It deepens in tone with age.
