The rich detailing of this corner cries out for clever combinations of colour.
The very villa-ness of it is obvious in the intricate window architrave and the tongue-and-groove panelling on the lower part of the wall. The corner is in a bathroom so the owner has taken the traditional idea of a stained glass window to add privacy, rather than a window covering, but has given it a contemporary Pacifica twist. The window was created by Auckland-based glass artists The Glassworks with a restrained palette of colours but using texture and shape for a stunning result.
