Inspiring Bathrooms

accreditation
An outdoor shower built of stone and cement makes an exotic location in which to wash off the dust of a game drive, under the warmth of the sun. Surrounding boulders provide privacy, and a tree becomes the supporting strut for the water pipe. Mowani Lodge, Namibia.
Extensive use of wood, pigmented plaster and polished cement recreates a sense of raw Africa. Dominating the bathroom is a generous custom-built sunken Rhinolite bath for two. The shower nozzle is suspended from the reed ceiling. Private home in Westcliffe Ridge, Johannesburg.
An oval mirror hangs above a simple stone washbowl with hollowed-out rocks tied to the frame as soap holders. The conical metal roof lamp is a prototype of those at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Tanzania. Merbau sliding doors carry sculpted inlay, done on site by carvers from Zanzibar. Private home in Westcliffe Ridge, Johannesburg.
A refurbished Victorian ball-and-claw-foot bath resting on a slate-tiled floor adds a touch of old-world living to this luxurious glassed-in bathroom. Blinds made from African river reeds provide privacy while you're unwinding after a game drive. Singita Boulders Lodge, Sabi Sands Game Reserve, Mpumalanga.
