Concrete Bathrooms - How do you feel about the minimal look?

9 years ago


Recently, one our clients were looking for a minimalist scandi style bathroom, completely seamless with no tiles or joins between materials. The Edinburgh team achieved this look with the use of microcement across the walls, floor & ceiling, bespoke CorianĀ® Design vanity shelving, Teatro matt black shower valves & taps & a stunning Mezzanine sink. Do you the look? Vote, yes or no!

    its just a damn bathroom. considering what happens there, i never understand why people try so hard to go above and beyond basic design. this is too much. sorry.

    i like interesting, unique design, however, this is horribly cold & not the least bit interesting to me. Each to their own...

    Doesn't look like a residential bathroom, but an industrial "clean room"/Federal prison lavatory. Sorry, but no.

    A shower without an enclosure doesn't keep in the heat. A shower without a curb doesn't keep in the water. A person entering while someone is showering might get wet. Is the floor slippery? A four panel entry door looks out of place. The open shelf at the shower is beautiful. A change in shades of grey might reduce the austerity.

    Minimalism can teach us the extremes. Subtle variations would create an inviting #2 room.

    I think I would feel like I was in prison. That shower is ridiculously horrible.

    Yes I actually do like it, but think it would be only really acceptable in a bachelor pad.

    Gerety Building- LOL. I showed this pic to my husband and his only comment was "If you're going to go there, then go there: Where's the urinal?"

    No kidding- I was an inch away from actually putting one in- an upstairs bathroom that only he, really, ever uses. The man has earned his right, and it would have tickled him to no end but...I saw the costs to remove/change, within resale, and a better head prevailed on stupid things for the "head".

    Nothing personal but, that's one of , if not the one, ugliest rooms I've ever seen. But, as long as they love it....

    I think it would be easier to install tile, and easier to clean too. I have a cement shower stall and not happy with it.

    I'm all for the minimalist style but this look just doesn't appeal to me.

    I wouldn't want it in my own home.

    It reminds me of an airport bathroom.

    We are heading towards microcement. There will be a lot of issues to work out. It will cause a reversion to the all-white off-white-greige light grey "timeless" (always a joke) interior. Then we'll have paint embedded with microcement sealer and will discover color again like we are now, after getting used to drywall. Meanwhile, we will adopt radiant heating in walls as well as floors, self-healing additives to microcement, and CO2 absorbing microcement just like we have for concrete. In 30 years, new builds will be microcement in the "neutral" colors listed above. Enjoy the ride.
