Skylit marble ensuites, sculptural freestanding baths, full-height stone and seamless connections to planted courtyards. In this month’s Signature Spaces, we explore a collection of Marshall White properties where the bathroom transcends function to become a true retreat, thoughtfully designed with the same architectural conviction as the home itself. From refined coastal residences to sculptural city penthouses, these spaces balance warmth, materiality and light to create environments designed not only to impress, but to restore.

7 Wilks Avenue, Malvern
Within Neil Architecture's masterful renovation of this Stonington Estate residence, ensuites finished in Artedomus stone and marble, Faucet Strommen tapware and Ross Gardam lighting transform daily ritual into quiet luxury. A roofline skylight washes the primary bathroom in natural light, while a warm palette of tobacco, mustard and olive tones carries the home's material language through to its most personal spaces.

94 Parkhill Road, Kew
McKimm's sculptural Kew residence carries its signature curves into the parents' wing ensuite, where a freestanding bath rests against a sweeping wall of white mosaic tile, grounded by a generous stone and timber vanity. Dual basins, a skylit rain shower and a planted atrium beyond the glass ensure this room is as much a living space as a bathing one.

Penthouse, 8 Louise Street, Melbourne
At over 100 square metres, the primary ensuite within this Cera Stribley-designed penthouse is a room of rare theatre. A freestanding bath is framed by floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains and natural light, while fluted glass shower screens, natural stone and striking metal fixtures create a tonal depth more akin to a five-star hotel than a private home.

While each home expresses a distinct architectural vision, they are united by a shared philosophy: that the spaces we retreat to each day should feel every bit as considered as those designed for entertaining. These bathrooms are not simply functional additions to the home, but carefully crafted sanctuaries that bring together light, materiality and design in a way that elevates everyday living.
