Powder Room With A Twist
For this powder room renovation, the existing space was twisted a little bit.
The typical arrangement of fixtures was efficient, but lacked interest.
By twisting the wall behind the toilet, the room takes on an entirely different persona.
Visual and spatial complexity was created by the introduction and emphasis of two interstitial horizontal planes between the existing floor and ceiling; one at the countertop level and one below the original ceiling. The interstitial planes have a strong, opposite, yin-yang relationship to each other... the “positive” countertops opposite the “negative” brightly lit openings in the lower ceiling plane.
The room becomes two distinct yet overlapping spaces – the lavatory area shown here and the toilet area (prior image).
