Terrazzo Bathroom

Location: The Hague

 

Located on the first floor of a stunning monumental building from 1905, close to the center of The Hague, this bathroom underwent a complete aesthetic and functional transformation. The owners, a young international couple, wanted to infuse the space with their love for bold colors and retro elements, which is evident throughout their home. They preserved many original details, such as the colorful terrazzo in the hallway, neoclassical ceiling moldings, and exquisite boiserie doors.

 

Our design drew inspiration from the house’s original character. We selected dark wood for the cabinetry, terrazzo for the flooring, and bold wall colors, complemented by elegant gold details in the secondary elements. Our primary goal was to maintain the vintage charm while updating the space to reflect a more sophisticated style.

 

Finding the optimal layout presented some challenges, as the bathroom lacked straight, clean wall surfaces. The only feasible area for the best layout was beneath the inclined roof. We strategically relocated the wash basin in front of the large window, which freed up space for the highly desired walk-in shower, fulfilling the owners' wishes for a more spacious and functional bathroom.
