Bath: Bianchi & Fontana

From Julie:

We hadn’t heard the term shower cube until we came across Italian company Bianchi & Fontana’s beautifully streamlined shower and bath enclosures. See the line at Bianchi & Fontana.

Bath: Plywood and Steel

From Julie:

We haven’t seen a tub encased in stainless before; or a stainless surround for a tub, for that matter. Or a bathroom done entirely in stainless and plywood, with porcelain fixtures. Interesting use of materials from Swiss firm AFGH, via Platforma Arquitectura.

We admire the work of Austrian firm PPAG, headed by Anna Popelka and Georg Podusch, especially their simple unpainted wood interiors, as in these projects designed for clients with limited budgets.
