Find calm in understated elegance at The Planar, Webb & Brown-Neaves’ modernist urban retreat in Melville.
Serene and unassuming from the street, The Planar is a beautiful composition of clean planes and vertical lines. It is a soothing sanctuary, the antidote to the stresses of everyday life.
We spoke to Laura Gray from Reece Bathrooms about The Planar’s luxurious bathrooms and the innovative Reece products that are featured throughout the home.
“When it came to bathroom design at The Planar, the brief was all about beauty in simplicity and creating that day spa feel,” said Laura.
“With clever design and the right materials you can create your very own day spa in the comfort of your home.”
According to Reece Bathrooms, trends have remained consistent over the past few years with colour and texture continuing to gain popularity.
“Black is the new black, especially in taps. Incorporating matte black tapware as seen in The Planar, creates visual interest in areas that are typically less than exciting by establishing impact through contrast,” said Laura.
Reece’s Mizu Drift range in matte black features throughout The Planar from the bathrooms to the kitchen, ensuring cohesion throughout the home.
“The Mizu Drift products make a bold statement in the home contrasting against the neutral colour palette of The Planar.”
The pin lever design featured to all tapware in The Planar was incorporated to compliment the linear design theme seen throughout the home.
“Pin lever tapware continues to remain popular. It is a design aesthetic that just won’t date thanks to its sleek modern design.”
Upstairs at The Planar, it feels like a penthouse suite where there’s no such thing as check-out. Entering the master suite through grand double doors you are greeted by a space featuring a timber clad ceiling, large custom walk-in-robe and luxurious master ensuite with a custom round shower.
“The round shower featured in The Planar’s master ensuite offers sleek design that immediately instils a sense of calm,” said Laura.
“The Mizu Drift Twin Waterrail shower heads further enhance the sense of luxury you experience in the master suite.”
Incorporating twin shower heads into bathrooms is a design trend that is quickly becoming a favourite in Australian bathrooms, especially for busy main bathrooms according to Reece. The twin design lets you pair your favourite overhead spray with a flexible detachable shower head for those who prefer extra control.
Designing a bathroom is just as much about what you don’t see as what you do. The Planar is the perfect example of a home that seamlessly integrates functionality through technology into design.
“The Planar features the Roca In-Wash® Inspira Smart Toilet in the master ensuite which is a great product that provides the latest in personal hygiene technology as well as offers an auto cleaning nozzle which makes bathroom cleaning a breeze,” said Laura.
“There is no doubt that the smart toilet in The Planar’s master ensuite is a key touch of luxury as smart toilets lead the way in hygiene and comfort, providing a personalised experience in the home.”
Other features in The Planar’s master bathroom include the Milli Pure Heated Towel Rails which brings a modern touch of luxury to the bathroom.
“The vertical design of the heated towel rails further emphasises the linear design theme seen throughout the home whilst also ensuring the whole towel is heated from the moment you step out of the shower.” said Laura.
