The concept for this washroom design was inspired by the burnt wood technique called Shou Sugi Ban. The technique is used in the form of a wall paneling to give the washroom a beautiful and rustic feel while marble wall tiles enclose the shower area.
Wooden ceiling beams were added to create a rustic feel. We call this design Shou Sugi “Banio” as a play on words for the design technique and also because banio means washroom in Italian and other languages.
The intent for the washroom design is to allow the user to feel as though they are in a quiet cabin in the woods.
