As the only bath in the downstairs of this historic 100+ year old house, many challenges were presented to the designers from the start. The bath had to meet dual purposes. First and foremost, durability to withstand daily activities of three active teenagers and their friends was a must. Second, it needed to exhibit the elegance of an entertaining “powder room”. In addition, the material selections reflecting the eclectic nature of their Bayou heritage was essential to keep the homeowners personal stamp vivid. With conceptual designs complete, the execution challenges began. Demolition revealed cast iron pipes interfering with the placement of the wall mount faucets, which were integral to the design. The wall was furred 6” to accommodate the valves. The changes in this wall afforded the ability to recess the extra-deep medicine half in the new wall, half extending out. Thus, providing the base structure for the fly-out shelves. Completing this feature, glass mosaic tiles wrap the furred wall, floor to ceiling, finishing off nicely into the full wall of travertine tile. A built-in closet was removed to make way for a linen cabinet. Translucent resin panels used in lieu of glass doors shield daily items from total exposure. Cherry cabinets and weathered copper fixtures tie this bath to the traditional styling of the old home. Yet, a granite vessel sink, mosaic tiles and contemporary light fixtures add eclectic flair into the space. Plumbing and stud location were potential pitfalls to the location of the mosaic-backed niches in the shower as well. Therefore the surrounding walls were furred to fit the new tub perfectly, and allow the niches to be centered on the space. A romantic glow of candles in the lower niche transforms this fast-paced teen bath into a calming retreat in an instant.

Having a reading nook is the ultimate luxury. I try to create at least one special area in every home for each person that lives there. It is so important to have little areas that let you escape the fast pace of daily life.

A curious quirk of the long-standing popularity of open plan kitchen /dining spaces is the need to incorporate boot rooms into kitchen re-design plans. We all know that open plan kitchen – dining rooms are absolutely perfect for modern family living but the downside is that for every wall knocked through, precious storage space is lost, which can mean that clutter inevitably ensues. Designating an area just off the main kitchen, ideally near the back entrance, which incorporates storage and a cloakroom is the ideal placement for a boot room. For families whose focus is on outdoor pursuits, incorporating additional storage under bespoke seating that can hide away wellies, walking boots and trainers will always prove invaluable particularly during the colder months. A well-designed boot room is not just about storage though, it’s about creating a practical space that suits the needs of the whole family while keeping the design aesthetic in line with the rest of the project. With tall cupboards and under seating storage, it’s easy to pack away things that you don’t use on a daily basis but require from time to time, but what about everyday items you need to hand? Incorporating artisan shelves with coat pegs ensures that coats and jackets are easily accessible when coming in and out of the home and also provides additional storage above for bulkier items like cricket helmets or horse-riding hats. In terms of ensuring continuity and consistency with the overall project design, we always recommend installing the same cabinetry design and hardware as the main kitchen, however, changing the paint choices to reflect a change in light and space is always an excellent idea; thoughtful consideration of the colour palette is always time well spent in the long run. Lastly, a key consideration for the boot rooms is the flooring. A hard-wearing and robust stone flooring is essential in what is inevitably an area of high traffic.

The “Gate” furniture system is a bright example of the form that can be dynamically transformed into various functional zones. It can be used as a wardrobe or a furniture ensemble for the living room. It can function as a dressing table or to be a part of the home office. The "Gate” system perfectly complements cafes, restaurants, bars, etc." Movable wooden bars placed on a metal rod creating dynamic structure changing to fit fast and always changing pace of daily life. Every object of the “Gate” collection can be assembled as a constructor or complemented by other elements of the system which you can opt for. These are chairs, tabourets, countertop, various boxes for small things, shelves for shoes, mirror, rack for umbrella, etc. That is why the “Gate” system may be not only an aesthetic dominant of your space, but also a multi functional basis of your interior. Author : Artem Zakharchenko Manufacturer : BORISOV​​​​​​​ UA Система меблів "Gate" це приклад форми, що динамічно трансформується під різні функціональні зони. Може адаптуватись під гардероб, використовуватись як шафа у вітальні, виконувати роль туалетного столику чи домашнього робочого місця. Також система "Gate" легко впроваджується у приміщеннях громадського харчування (кафе, бар, ресторан, тощо). Об’єкт складається із великої кількості послідовно з'єднаних дерев’яних брусків, які окремо один від одного можуть підійматись на дев’яносто градусів і опускатись назад у горизонтальне положення. Ця функція дає можливість змінювати композицію об’єкту на свій лад. При використанні системи як стелажу можна змінювати форму як з естетичної точки зору, так і з практичної. Можливо збільшувати простір між умовними полицями для зберігання речей великого розміру, відкривати простір для зручного зберігання довгого верхнього одягу, тощо. Тому система “Gate” може бути не тільки візуально привабливою домінатною вашого простору, а й дуже функціонально корисною основою інтер’єру.
