Tasked with redefining the interiors for a young family, Tamony undertook a full interior renovation, making subtle structural refinements to improve flow while layering in texture, colour and craft. The existing rooms, though thoughtfully remodelled, felt minimal and monochrome. “It had strong bones,” she reflects, “but it needed soul.” Her approach was to soften the sharper lines of the contemporary architecture without compromising its clarity – to create a cultured, expressive home in which the family could feel truly rooted.

The bathrooms became central to that ambition. Originally functional and pared back, they lacked atmosphere. The brief was to recast them as sanctuaries – intimate spaces of retreat with the composure of a discreet hotel suite, yet grounded in daily ritual.

At the outset, the clients offered a cluster of guiding words: elegant, soft, earthy, playful, tactile, chic. They spoke of Japanese restraint, Mid-Century Scandinavian discipline and the layered charm of English country hotels.

In the master suite, these references coalesced into something gently cinematic. Rose-tones wraps the ensuite in a soft luminescence, the marble tiles animated by delicate veining. Alabaster sconces and an opal-glass pendant cast a pearly glow, while subtle curves – echoed in scalloped detailing and rounded forms – lend the room a quietly Venusian quality.

Against this enveloping backdrop, Drummonds’ polished nickel fittings introduce clarity and balance. The Chessleton basin mixer brings an Art Deco inflection to the vanity, its disciplined geometry poised yet decorative. In the shower enclosure, the Dalby Surface Mounted Shower extends with fluid grace. “There’s something swan-like in the curve,” Tamony notes. The cool sheen of polished nickel tempers the warmth of the marble, lending definition and restraint to the room’s softer palette.

In a scheme defined by sensuality and curve, the fittings provide a quiet architectural counterpoint. Their sculptural presence and enduring craft ground the composition, ensuring the romance of rose-toned stone is held in balance by precision and permanence.
