Creating a more open and functional layout

Non-load-bearing walls were removed to reconfigure the space
-
New wall positions were designed to maximise usable floor area
-
Finishes were selected to complement the age of the home

Custom joinery was designed to suit the new proportions

All works were completed in accordance with building and waterproofing standards
The result is a bright, well-proportioned bathroom that feels modern while remaining in harmony with the character of the home.
