A bathroom in 95 square feet

Notes from the Hollis job: a carved sink, a hidden cabinet and one stone for the whole room.

What we look for

We start with the room, not the catalogue: where the light comes from, what the floor is made of and who uses the space at which time of day. Then we narrow the choice to two or three options and live with them for a week.

What it means for a project

It takes a little longer at the start and saves weeks later. Most of the changes we see on site come from decisions that were made too quickly in a showroom.

One rule we keep

If we would not put it in our own homes, it does not go on the board.
