apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Custom Bathroom by Amy Lau and Heath Ceramics

9-17-heath.jpgIt's the kind of stuff our dreams are made of - working with the ceramic geniuses over at Heath create custom tiles for a bathroom project. Amy Lau was lucky enough to work with the Sausalito company for her showcase bathroom at Kohler, and the results, inspired by views from a Greek island, are pretty breathtaking.

This is awesome...
...would have been even cooler if they could have had Kohler make the in-wall shower jets in hexagons to match.

I love Heath... but I wonder if this is way over the top...

I agree about the ceiling. It would be nice to lay in the bath and look up at the pretty tiles, but otherwise it's a bit overwhelming.

I would just tile the shower and carry it across to the tub and have that be that...this is too much of a good thing.

I think a better photographer will make this bathroom look fantastic....

And why are there so many spotlight reflections on the tiles?

Looks like something for a really trendy high school gym shower in a high end neighborhood.

Very over-the-top in a good way however, they blew it with the over head light in the shower and the aluminum framed shower door. Those just look plain cheap.
