“Reconnecting with our body and mind to reach the ideal of healthy living has become a fundamental part of how we overcome stress in our lives. For us, the bathroom is that private, safe haven where this dialogue takes place”, says the MUT Design team. Under this premise, the studio designed this bathroom proposal for The Bathelier, the C·Bath ideas lab, Cosentino’s comprehensive proposal for bathrooms.
The Resilient House, which is the name of this project, suggests a space inspired by the atmosphere of a Roman bath in ruins, creating a delimitation reminiscent of the walls of a quarry, alluding to the origin of Cosentino. A blend of past and present that manages to create a balanced and welcoming haven for well-being and self-care.
The perfect material for bathrooms
As an interior architecture programme, MUT Design makes use of a series of volumes with DKTN to create hollows in the space, completed with a bathtub and a washbasin where the Simplicity model is integrated. This project proves the material’s ability to adapt to any type of surface and functional solution.
DKTN is resistant to stains, temperature changes and scratches, making it the perfect material for this timeless space. In addition, its easy maintenance and cleaning make it ideal for use in spaces such as bathrooms, where hygiene is paramount.
Using contrast to elevate design
The colour chosen to clad the different surfaces, from floors and walls to the shower and bathtub, is as subtle as it is elegant. This is none other than DKTN Nacre, a cream colour that ranges from fine microcement to lime plastering and is characterised by subtle details and a degraded texture that give the space a high sensory value.
To create a minimalist and serene space, the designers arranged the material evenly, interrupted only by the natural stone that emerges in reserved areas. The contrast highlights the clash of materials, thus elevating the presence of both.
