Arcos Villa, Brisbane

Brisbane builders Graya, have demonstrated their exceptional craftsmanship and eye for design with the breathtaking re-build of an inner-Brisbane Queenslander, aptly named 'Arcos.' This project showcases their ability to blend traditional elements with contemporary aesthetics, creating a home that is both timeless and modern.

The Sylvia Round Bath: A Perfect Choice

Central to the bathroom's design is the ST13 1500mm Sylvia round bath, a piece that perfectly complements the home’s aesthetic. The decision to include this stone bath in matte white was inspired by the desire to create a space that feels both indulgent and harmonious. The matte white finish exudes a subtle elegance, while the round shape adds a touch of contemporary flair.

Harmonizing with Organic Curves

One of the standout features of the Sylvia bath is its ability to harmonize with the organic, curved lines that weave throughout the 'Arcos' home. The architects behind this project paid meticulous attention to creating a flow that feels natural and uncontrived. The round bath serves as a focal point, echoing the curves found in other design elements such as arched doorways, rounded cabinetry, and the fluid lines of bespoke furniture.

The 1500mm size of the Sylvia bath strikes the perfect balance between luxury and practicality. It offers ample space for a relaxing soak without overwhelming the bathroom. This makes it an ideal choice for a home that values both style and functionality.

Design Synergy

Graya’s choice of the Sylvia bath was also influenced by its synergy with the other elements in the bathroom. The natural stone complements the earthy tones used throughout the home, while the matte finish ties in seamlessly with other matte surfaces, creating a cohesive and visually pleasing environment. The bath’s round shape also contrasts beautifully with the straight lines and sharp angles of the bathroom’s architecture, adding a layer of visual interest and sophistication.
