When designer Maureen Doherty called on architect Jonathan Tuckey to renovate the mews next door to her shop, she knew she wanted a bathhouse somewhere in the building.
Bella from Egg, Maureen’s clothing shop, demonstrates the copper faucets that Tuckey’s team made custom for the project.
A view of the cubby-like bathhouse built into the downstairs room, a former stable, of the mews building.
The room opens onto the narrow and winding Kinnterton Street in London.
The walls are painted with Farrow & Ball All White paint in Full Gloss finish; $110 per gallon at Farrow & Ball.
Materials
The tile is Earthenware Elements 10-by-10-centimeter (about 4-by-4-inch) Gloss Field Tile in Candle White from Ann Sacks.
Jonathan Tuckey’s studio fabricated the two faucets from copper pipe and brass fittings. One faucet leads into the wood bathtub and the other is used for filling buckets of water for washing up.
Faucets & Fixtures
The tub is the Badbox from Studio Anna van der Lei.
Lighting
The large brass light fixture is the 2JGA Wall Light by architect John Glew. (See more of Glew’s lighting in another Jonathan Tuckey project, a chalet in Andermatt, Switzerland.)
Pair the light with a Silver-Tipped Bulb for $8 from Schoolhouse Electric.
The Utility Canvas Curtain Panel is made with preshrunk canvas and cut in a 68-by-70-inch panel; $106 at Utility Canvas.
