The wooden floor in the attic
They call and make an appointment for Thursday afternoon: our clients are a young couple with small children and very specific needs.
They tell us straight away that they are a large, noisy family and that they want to create a space for their children where they can play freely. They tell us about their old attic with its crooked walls, which has not been used for many years, and how they want to turn it into a safe and fun place for their children.
Their house, designed by a colleague years ago, is rustic and cosy and the attic should follow the same philosophy. But it has to be practical!
That's when we suggested a wooden floor for them to live on, a varnished oak, with a very lively grain, which is not afraid to be scissor-stripped and coloured with brushes.
The children's bathroom project
With all this in mind, the bathroom for the little ones had to reflect this: a fun and dynamic room.
And how to do that?
First of all, we needed colour! We immediately thought of cementine, 30x30 tiles with a variety of geometries.
To give continuity, we didn't want the parquet floor to border the corridor, so we designed an intersection with the wooden floor that enters the bathroom and also covers the wall of the cabinet.
During the laying of the cementines...
Did you know that parquet is the last surface to be laid in the house?
In this bathroom it is the wood that fits the pattern created by the cement tiles! So below you see the first laying step:

Cementine and parquet: a game of joints
Do you notice any difference from the initial design?
Yes, our customers liked the first solution right away, but knowing how much their children like to play with splashing water during the evening tooth brushing, they asked us to cover the wall behind the cabinet with stoneware tiles.
The wooden cladding was moved to the opposite wall, the wall of the sanitary ware.

And the bathroom furniture? Indestructible!
All the details of this bathroom have been thought out and designed to create a safe and practical environment.
We would also like to draw your attention to the choice of taps: strictly stainless steel, an indestructible material, even childproof!
