Marble MARVEL

WOW FACTOR WAS A MUST IN THIS DECADENT ENSUITE, WHICH PROVIDES AN ESCAPE FROM THE EVERYDAY

- KYLIE JACKES

When Candace and husband Glenn were discussing the concept for the design and build of their home in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Brighton, the words they kept coming back to were 'elegant', 'timeless and 'luxurious'. "I didn't want to pigeonhole when the house was done," says Candace, who asked designer Justin Bishop to devise the interiors.

Sculptural soaking "BATHS POSITIONED IN FRONT OF WINDOWS LOOK WONDERFUL, AS THEY CAN BASK IN AN ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL LIGHT AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A VIEW," SAYS INTERIOR DESIGNER JUSTIN BISHOP, WHO MASTERMINDED THIS PROJECT IN MELBOURNE. THE SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY SHAPE OF AN 'OXBOW' BATH FROM CANDANA INJECTS A MODERN FEEL. "PAIRING IT WITH TRADITIONAL TAPWARE ENSURED IT SAT COHESIVELY WITHIN THE OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL," ADDS JUSTIN OF THE BRODWARE 'NUE ENGLAND' BATH MIXER WITH HAND SHOWER. A POLISHED NICKEL ETAGERE SHELF FROM POTTERY BARN KEEPS ACCOUTREMENTS WITHIN REACH. WHEN NEEDED MOKUM 'AURORA' SHEER CURTAINS FROM JAMES DUNLOP TEXTILES CAN BE DRAWN TO DIFFUSE SUNLIGHT.
