Project story

Elegant Oasis gives a compact master ensuite the measured atmosphere of a spa retreat. The brief called for contemporary materials, generous storage, privacy around the WC and shower, and a dedicated bath zone, all within the strong architectural language of the home.

A galley plan keeps the room clear and efficient, drawing the eye toward a sculptural round bath set on the main axis. Layered Tundra Light stone behind it brings texture, depth and integrated storage to the composition. The result is a bathroom that feels calm without fading away: soft in palette, precise in planning and made for a proper moment of restoration.
