Bathroom • Florida Street, Bethnal Green, London, UK
Green subway tiles remain in the shower area. Exposed concrete walls provide rough texture. A deep green cast iron tub anchors the space. Polished marble and raw steel contrast at the vanity.
Each surface speaks distinctly. Rough plaster ceilings meet smooth concrete. Large format charcoal tiles ground the room. Industrial track lighting highlights material intersections.
This room articulates its material choices with clarity.

A hand runs across the rough concrete wall. Water beads on the deep green cast iron tub.
