The celebrated design duo of Charles Gandy and William Peace have created an innovative and imaginative bath setting, using both whimsy and sophistication to create a room of distinction. The bath reflects a boxing theme, surprisingly awash in parchment hues. Pale limestone floors, ivory walls and an expanse of mirrored bath cabinets offer an understated approach to an athletes bath. A focal point of the room is the innovative10-Jet BodySpa, Kohlers rapturous personal hydro-massage system -- the perfect relief after a few rounds with the rooms full-size canvas punching bag, suspended from a circular skylight. An edited yet creative use of accessories, ranging from a wall of televisions to gilded clay pinch pots, adorn the room. The uncluttered use of forms extends to the plumbing fixtures. A pair of wall-mounted faucets appear suspended above two undercounter lavatories, both inset in a dramatically canted countertop. According to the designers, the monumental space was designed for a successful couple as a quiet, enveloping room. This prototypical couple would certainly love the intimate, upholstered banquette offered as the perfect spot for relaxing and conversation.
