Triangles

_ Renovation of a bathroom

When renovating this bathroom in a 1990s home, the shape of the existing triangular dormer window was not neutralised, but deliberately enlarged as a spatial motif. What initially appeared to be an atypical residual shape became the starting point and spatial foundation of the design.
The position of the bath was reconfigured to make the space clearer and more logically structured. The bath was positioned under the dormer window. Because the window is not centrally located in the wall, this intervention brings more balance and cohesion to the space.
The wet zone of the shower and bath flows into the floor in a triangle with red non-slip tiles. This intervention follows the logic of the inclined roof, which also ends in a triangle.
Giving these areas colour makes the geometry legible. Roof, walls and floor interact with each other in a consistent whole. The intervention reveals what was already latently present.
