Bathroom of the Week: In London, a Dramatic Turkish Marble Bathroom for a Design-Minded Couple

The architects delivered: In the finished home, the master suite comprises the entire first floor, and includes a bedroom, closets, dressing space, “his” and “hers” baths, and a study. The minimally detailed baths have a dramatic focal point: a wall of lilac-hued Turkish marble. Let’s take a look.

Above: The room required three large slabs in all: two to form the book-matched wall, and a third piece for the marble skirting and countertop on which a Pebble sink by Stonekast is perched. The wall lights embedded in the mirror are Dioscuri by Artemide.
