Younique Designs have been Shortlisted for Bathroom Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

A Celestial Sanctuary is a star-studded sanctuary featuring Lilac Marble and a Smart Glass window that turns from frosted to clear like magic. The clients enjoy travelling and staying in luxury hotels and desired to have that same experience while at home.

To achieve this feel, the following features were created: A shower big enough for two featuring two shower heads including a handheld on a slide bar and a stationary showerhead. His and Hers floating vanities each framed with a custom cabinetry entablature with hidden medicine cabinet and concealed LED lighting. Her vanity features a Smart Glass window that remains frosted for privacy until a switch is flipped changing the glass to transparent allowing the homeowners a view of the outdoors. A Pewter metallic free-standing bathtub was located directly across from the entrance to serve as a dramatic focal point.

Framed with a custom cabinetry entablature and topped with a striking starburst chandelier that was converted to low voltage to meet local building code, the bathing area becomes the true star of the show. Lilac Marble and Black Nero marble tile were both repeated multiple times throughout the space in varying shapes and textures which adds interest while keeping the colour consistent throughout. The Starburst detail is repeated from the chandelier over the tub to the floating mirrors over the vanities and gold finishes are repeated in lighting, plumbing, and cabinetry hardware.

Artisan skills were used throughout this project with the stone fabricator creating the stone casing for the entrance to the shower as well as the mitered vanity countertops. Likewise, the custom cabinetry entablatures and floating vanities required a cabinet maker with impeccable skill. The homeowners are young and fashion-forward with their home already full of natural light and colour, and this Master Bathroom is reflective of the vibrancy and playfulness that already pre-exists in the property. The contrasting materials create drama on their own, but the custom cabinetry entablatures with the recessed LED lighting to showcase each zone of the room makes for a sensational statement.
