Art Deco interior design with a modern twist
The first meeting at this art deco flat in a 1930's block in west London convinced us that the bathroom was its best existing feature. However the bathroom was to be the site of most upheaval. The client wanted to make the bathroom and the tiny toilet next to it into one room and install a new shower.
The walls were clad in exquisite original glass tiles which had to be preserved when the dividing wall was torn down. Then the problem was how to make the room look whole. With no possibility of reproducing the tiles to unify the new expanse of bathroom wall we installed a wall of mirror to make the existing originals work twice as hard.

The small toilet room and the corridor that originally led to bathroom were now one with the bathroom itself. A glass brick partition in a coordinating green glass was constructed to screen the toilet from the bath and the modern toilet and cistern was replaced with a period piece tracked down in a reclamation yard. The cupboard that existed in the old corridor was converted into a shower and decorated with complimentary green mosaics. Original art deco globe lights completed the design.
