The Showroom 'Snow Cave'
Award winning design
Here we wanted to predict the next big trend and demonstrate to potential clients what can be achieved, but with budget in mind. As the cloakroom would need to be used by all clients of all ages and abilities, it was important to consider accessibility without compromising on design. This would also be a good demonstration of how a ‘mixed ability’ space can still contain all the elements of a contemporary design statement.
Taking inspiration from fashion, furniture designs and magazine adverts, we felt that white was making a come back. White doesn’t have to be clinical or unimaginative. It can be glamorous and inviting, and this look has been acheived through use of a combination of textures, shapes and materials.
The design includes a walk-in shower with built in seat, body jets and bespoke glass panel, wall hung WC with electronic flush, an enamelled steel basin and the latest in ‘white’ taps and shower fittings. For the user it provides a complete sensory experience, and gives a feeling of being ‘enclosed’ within the space like a secret ‘den’ or cave.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that the 'snow cave' design was nominated for the "KBB Review 2009 Young Bathroom Designer of the Year" award. The design was selected as a finalist, and then went on to win the award!
This is the industry's most prestigious national award. The black tie event was held at London Excel on 11th May 2009. There was some stiff competition as only the top designers in the country are nominated.
