Bathroom style: Turkish delight

Less is more in this Middle Eastern-inspired bathroom, where a minimalist design evokes an exotic brand of elegance
John Downs

Not all bathrooms summon a sense of escapism as successfully as this Turkish bathhouse-inspired space. The room’s edgy rawness, in fact, belies its highly considered design.

Concrete-look waterproof epoxy liquid resin coats every surface, including the ceiling and built-in sunken bath. The resin transformed the bathroom into a full wet zone, so there’s no need for a shower curtain or any kind of panel.

In keeping with the minimal design scheme, cabinetry is non-existent, sleek tapware is unobtrusive and the limestone Omvivo washplane has an air of understated modernity.
