Concrete calm
A Battersea apartment bathroom turned into an open wet room with concrete-effect porcelain, a linear drain, a lit niche and black fittings.
The project
An industrial apartment, a matching wet room
The apartment was open and industrial in character, but its bathroom was a dated beige room that didn’t belong.
We replaced it with an open wet room: one floor surface falling gently to a linear drain, with a single frameless glass panel.
Large concrete-effect porcelain wraps the floor and walls, so the room reads as one calm, continuous space.
A long lit niche, a ceiling rain shower, a black wall-hung toilet and a dark vanity complete the urban look.
Before
Understanding
the starting point
The original bathroom was a small beige-tiled room that felt out of place in the apartment.
The brief
Open, urban and calm
The brief
The brief was a bathroom that matched the industrial feel of the apartment and felt open rather than boxed in.
Design direction
We chose concrete-effect porcelain, a linear drain, frameless glass and matt black fittings.
The plan
Every centimetre has a role
How the finished room is laid out. Sizes are approximate — every project starts with a measured survey and drawings.

Approximate plan drawn from the project photographs — not a measured drawing.
The concept
Concrete tones and matt black
One continuous grey surface, with black used for the fittings.
The result
A wet room that feels like part of the loft
The finished wet room is open and calm, with one continuous surface and soft light from the niche.
Project summary
From beige to concrete calm
The challenge
A dated beige bathroom that didn’t suit the industrial apartment.
The room felt boxed in and old-fashioned.
The response
An open wet room with concrete-effect porcelain, a linear drain and a frameless glass panel.
A lit niche and matt black fittings complete the look.
The result
A calm, open wet room that feels part of the apartment.
One continuous surface makes the room feel bigger and simpler.
