DESIGN NAME: Passion
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bathroom
INSPIRATION: My inspiration? Desire of unlimited joy! This bathing room embodies the Yang and the Yin, the black and the white, passion and peace. Natural marble gives this room an original and unique feel. And as we are always looking for a natural feel, I have decided to use organic materials, which create a truly peaceful atmosphere. The ceiling is like the final touch that brings an inside harmony to this room. Multitude of mirrors makes it look more spacey. Switches, sockets and accessories were all selected to fit the brushed chrome color scheme. Brushed chrome looks classy against black tile, and matches the interior. The ceiling represents a pure passion and reunion of the Yang and the Yin. Rays of light make this bathroom even more expressive.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 1. Unique ceiling design. The ceiling is covered with nacreous sparkles. When the light from the wall lamp falls on the ceiling, the ceiling glitters. This effect gives the interior a premium look.
2. Wall tile and floor mosaic are made of natural marble. I have deliberately chosen contrasting colors of marble. Light-colored marble is calm and peaceful, while the darker one is elegant and full of grace.
3. The floor is coated with light-colored marble mosaic.
4. Ornamental wall made of dark tile acts as the framing of the mirror. The room dimensions were taken into account when choosing the design and size of tile, to give the ornament a nice and accomplished look.
5. The mirror and its framing were designed to embrace the existing ventilation shafts rather than having to alter them;
6. The mirror’s bevel makes it look more like a framed painting.
7. The color of the mirror is OpticWhite.
8. I’ve chosen a universal bath tub, which can be used as a hydromassage tub and as a shower stall.
9. Under-sink furniture and the sink itself are tailor-made, as it was really hard to find standard models to fit my design.
10. Accesories, switches and sockets are of a brushed chrome color.
11. High quality German mixer taps.
12. The choice of a radial bath tub was preconditioned by the scarcity of space (5 m2)
13. The towel dryer is of the same color as the wall, so that it doesn’t visually cramp the room.
14. LED strip lightning gives our clients the opportunity to change the lightning to fit their mood. Power adapters are hidden in the bedroom closet (adjacent room). This enabled us to save overhead space in the bathroom.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The work on the project was launched at the beginning of September 2011. I started with planning concept and visualization. This stage was passed in short time and then I agreed this with my client. In February 2012 my client was given keys to the apartment and foremen and I started implement my ideas in life. The apartment is located in a “Weltone Park” new buildings complex on Marshal Zhukov avenue in Moscow. Completion date is December 2012.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Materials. Marble tiles on the walls. Marble mosaic on the floor and on the bath tub pedestal as well, which creates a sense of uniformity. Gypsum board ceiling was coated and then finished with high quality Italian paints of a light-rose shade. Then nacreous sparkles and a layer of lacquer were added. OpticWhite mirror; there are no green areas in its corners. Accessories, sockets and switches are of a brushed chrome color. Reliable mechanics. Under floor heating regulator is situated in the hall. Shower toilet. The bath tub can be used as a hydromassage tub and as a shower stall. The sink is made of stone. Under-sink furniture is made of MDF coated with enamel. Blumotion opening system. LED strip lightning. RT 2-5000 24V RGB-Warm 2x2 (5060, 720 LED) LED strip lights were used while creating the lamp. They allow to minimize the electricity consumption and are easy to install. One strip has an RGB and a white CCD array. Due to that one can choose either warm and cosy light or cold daylight, or establish any colour of the light depending on the mood.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The room space is 5.3 m2. Its height with enclosure ceiling is 2895 mm.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The process of implementing the design was easy for the construction team, as, for example, the tailor-made black panel picture from Italy was already the right size and needed only assembling. However, since it is impossible to find spare parts for a tailor-made project, mistakes were not an option. Constructing the bath tub pedestal was a labor-intensive and time-consuming task, as it had to match the tub dimensions perfectly. The same is true for ceiling painting works, as we needed sharp angles and straight clean lines. This bathing room is fully furnished, the furniture was also tailor-made, which was preconditioned by the limited space we had.
