Building Owners: Essential Luxury Washroom Trends and Opportunities
Like everything in business, when it comes to finding the right luxury, compliant washroom for a building the factors a business owner needs to consider are ever-changing.
Why is the right choice vital for any venue or project?
Because few spaces within a building speak to the ethos, the design, the attitude to usability and the attention to detail within a property like an extremely well designed and executed washroom.
With Q2 just around the corner, we asked Fitzroy of London Director Bradley Culmer to reveal his essential advice for building owners:
1, Access design innovation:
Brad, a luxury washroom design influencer who has worked on ultra-high-end hotel, private club and commercial projects around the world, explained that clients are increasingly requesting clean-cut, minimalistic washroom accessories like grab rails in dark bronze and anthracite finishes.
He added that building owners should seek out the latest thinking in design and product innovation to create an extremely impactful premium washroom space.
“We work extremely hard to create accessibility compliant washroom accessories to match the latest brassware from brands like Gessi, Dornbracht and Axor. Plus we can offer pacesetting features such as a removeable option many owners, especially hotel owners, particularly value. Making sure a project has taken the most current trends and developments into account means the best possible result for a washroom space.”
2, Leverage a clear opportunity:
The Fitzroy of London Director added that varying levels of awareness of the benefits a design-led, cutting edge compliant washroom can bring mean represents a way for buildings to stand apart.
“A prestige washroom in a prestige building shows that equality, social awareness and a deep understanding of design have been placed at the very core of the building itself.
“While other buildings in a market may have fallen into the error of thinking that hospital-type washrooms are the only way to ensure a compliant washroom, owners of buildings with luxury washrooms often use the space to proudly promote that their venue is unapologetically different from ‘the norm’.”
3, Remember a simple washroom design rule:
Brad, whose award-winning work on high-end destinations such as private clubs and world-class hotels is well known among the prestige hospitality industry, urged owners to “speak to a specialist to understand what can be achieved from an accessible washroom as opposed to just having a room no one wants to use”.
He concluded by outlining a simple approach an owner can use to test whether a washroom is everything it needs to be to impress prestige clients.
“At its core the mindset behind a spectacular washroom space is clear, proven and never-changing. A luxury washroom must combine high-grade, tactile finishes with expertly designed products in an extremely aesthetically pleasing way that’s beautiful to the eye.”
