Designed as a private retreat within the master suite, Elegant Oasis balances contemporary architectural expression with the calm, restorative qualities of a luxury spa. The brief called for a sophisticated ensuite that would complement the home’s bold modern architecture while providing generous storage, privacy and a dedicated space for relaxation. The clients were drawn to a soft, layered palette and wanted a bathroom that felt serene, refined and timeless.
Working within a compact footprint, the layout was carefully planned to maximise both functionality and visual impact. A sculptural freestanding bath forms the focal point of the room, positioned along the central axis and framed by layered stone detailing. This feature creates an immediate sense of luxury while establishing a cohesive material language throughout the space.
A bespoke wall-hung vanity combines honed stone with warm American White Oak veneer cabinetry, creating a sophisticated balance between natural texture and contemporary form. Twin framed mirrors and concealed storage maintain clean architectural lines while providing exceptional practicality for everyday use.
The walk-in shower is positioned at the opposite end of the room, anchored by a feature stone wall that visually connects back to the vanity. A carefully placed window introduces natural light and captures sea views, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and escape.
Throughout the ensuite, a restrained palette of stone, timber and tonal finishes creates warmth and visual harmony. Bronze fixtures add subtle richness, while integrated lighting and meticulously detailed finishes reinforce the clean, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a luxurious and calming sanctuary that seamlessly blends practicality, elegance and architectural sophistication.
