Arthur Street Brisbane
The owners of Arthur Street wanted a bathroom, but didn’t know if it was possible given the house’s layout. The owners showed us this old double bedroom and asked if we could make something out of nothing.
Solution
We knew that if we removed a wall and closed off a doorway we could create an elegant ensuite space.
This feeling of elegance was enhanced by adding floor to ceiling tiles and through the extensive use of downlights.
The finished ensuite is refined and modern. The layout of the ensuite coupled with the tiling gives a formal and spacious feel. View the images below for more detail.
“Where you think it’s not possible we make it possible”.
Pops Street Ashgrove Bathroom
The bathroom at Pops Street had a wall dividing the shower and bath, giving the bathroom a ‘stifling’ and static feeling.
Solution
By removing the dividing wall and relocating the shower fixtures we opened up the space, making the room look much larger. The shower is ‘hobless’ (or no-step) making the whole design flow.
Ensuite
This ensuite speaks for itself. A very small space with an old, tired look.
Solution
As experts in small bathroom renovations we were able to replace the wall at the entrance to the ensuite with clear glass to dramatically increase the sense of space. Effective use of pebbles, tiles and new fixtures completed the transformation. Click on the images to see for yourself.
Kitchen
The kitchen at Pops Street was friendly and serviceable, but that wasn’t what the owners wanted. An ultra-modern look was desired through the use of stainless steel benchtops and appliances.
Solution
New benchtops, cupboards and appliances were procured. To emphasise the impression of space, bulkheads were added above the new cupboards and downlights were used to create a formal feel. The use of two colours on the cupboard doors gives an even more modern feel to this setting.

Centenary Brisbane
The owners wanted us to create a modern touch to their 3 bathrooms and have a finish that was like a “Formal Hotel”!
The main bathroom had 3 sub-rooms within the one bathroom. This very design was introduced in the 80′s to try and give a formal idea of bathing and pampering.
The shower, toilet and vanity were all in seperate rooms with doors. Although a good idea, it gave a very closed in and secluded feel.
As the photos in the main show, we introduced a large corner spa with seperatley switched down lights to give the owners the much needed “romantic nights” they desired.
The shower was opened up with a fixed frameless panel of glass to allow access via the rear without the need of a door. This is a big space saver.
The vanity was a modern “above counter design” with a curved front. A very effective style in a formal setting.
The Ensuite had some space issues that the owners wanted us to resolve. The existing vanity was removed to free up some space and a pedestal was installed. A 2 door mirrored cabinet was set into the wall above the pedestal to store all the products that any average vanity could hold. This also eleviates the need to bend over to get to your cupboards.
A “bathroom caddy” was placed next to the toilet to allow more storage space with out taking up to much space. The caddy is gloss white with a door on one side and 6-towel racks at the front.
A very good outcome was achieved through out and the same tiles from floor to ceiling were used through out with a pebble strip in each shower.
