Design Approach

Master bathrooms with rain shower, vanity counter, and premium finishes within Singapore's compact layouts.

  • Large format tiles (600×600mm or larger) reduce grout lines and look more premium

  • A niche in the shower wall for toiletries eliminates shower caddies completely

  • Wall-mounted toilet adds ~30cm of visual floor space and is easier to clean

  • Indirect LED strip behind the mirror creates a luxurious vanity glow

  • Use rectified tiles for minimal grout joints — standard in Singapore premium renovations
