How a Waiheke Island bathroom was designed to feel like a luxurious hotel

This Waiheke Island bathroom, part of the 'Lantern House' project by Herbst Architects, was designed to feel like a luxurious hotel oasis. Inspired by Balinese retreats, the goal was to create an elegant space with intimate luxury and serene sea views from the bath.

Key features include an enclosed toilet behind a stylish Crittal screen and ample hidden storage. The design successfully combines practicality with a peaceful, resort-like atmosphere, capturing stunning views of the sea and local birdlife.
