IKEA vases for a translucent rounded bathroom wall

The apartment is designed by Marloes van Heteren of SOLUZ and Remco Wilcke of CUBE architecten. <br /><br />In the architecture a contrast has been sought between preserving the historic beams and floors, and minimalistic new additions. The new additions such as kitchen and bathroom would be clearly identifiable as such in terms of materiality and form. Letting in daylight and transparency was also very important in the design of the open floor plan. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5Ql-w7oku6PHqNHRvbHWMa1eFfSPBocy5lrVzNVf5VtGql328uWGV59gmcVcbEig0fHJYAG6d8zSHrDjh5HFTc_2hM1lT8M4yHp0k5p-vlgFtBbOhgYwGQjIJ9oIPI-ToYdsOgIk8DMj/s1600/DSC_0899+BEWERKT-782060.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578662935519083810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5Ql-w7oku6PHqNHRvbHWMa1eFfSPBocy5lrVzNVf5VtGql328uWGV59gmcVcbEig0fHJYAG6d8zSHrDjh5HFTc_2hM1lT8M4yHp0k5p-vlgFtBbOhgYwGQjIJ9oIPI-ToYdsOgIk8DMj/s640/DSC_0899+BEWERKT-782060.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvQDbkue32e84cjpvy5YnOeY-_XEFsJBf7fwyQGZ7ePM81zBzTqg4th-DKNo5zify5LDr8-uL2g4zQN0GpMbbVwPq7pSCFOtFYrk3iPj2S_tXXepzbeDKcFQ4MurBQksOvi-8_kDU909c/s1600/DSC_0871+BEWERKT-782856.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578662943181083602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvQDbkue32e84cjpvy5YnOeY-_XEFsJBf7fwyQGZ7ePM81zBzTqg4th-DKNo5zify5LDr8-uL2g4zQN0GpMbbVwPq7pSCFOtFYrk3iPj2S_tXXepzbeDKcFQ4MurBQksOvi-8_kDU909c/s640/DSC_0871+BEWERKT-782856.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGNCAJfyIP46_CMvQTW20kHskPVXMpKbXLMiaIvVl1fjWG0OI8yuNe9MV6pyxKzNlZH80jUfO_NQR07dmi2zKGeLu_Zz6neEdHZRU-efQ7DgTQh7y6qj6VYqT-3tDss9RYS7s-QpGCqHh/s1600/DSC_0880-784405.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578662948342647954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGNCAJfyIP46_CMvQTW20kHskPVXMpKbXLMiaIvVl1fjWG0OI8yuNe9MV6pyxKzNlZH80jUfO_NQR07dmi2zKGeLu_Zz6neEdHZRU-efQ7DgTQh7y6qj6VYqT-3tDss9RYS7s-QpGCqHh/s640/DSC_0880-784405.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />The bathroom is the central element in the house situated at the intersection of public and private. The rounded translucent bathroom-wall consists of nearly 1,000 very special glass blocks; IKEA rektangel vases. The vases are painted white inside and arranged together with strong transparent glue. The use of two different sizes creates a very nice pattern. During the day the sunlight gets in the bathroom an at night the bathroom wall acts as a subtle light-object in the apartment. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOV2jvEezTbS4JYBiMEbj4eAg8mpxc3bGBSJ42a0nK4iDD1hDUSVgX_0EJwa_D8-8XktzNP3mOoNvNMexVqXeBP_dBych3FScCu-XQcHpFEs1H7ywIyWL16fHA-tItN-P-j7UPTMin5OAx/s1600/DSC_0829+BEWERKT-781107.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578662933754987362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOV2jvEezTbS4JYBiMEbj4eAg8mpxc3bGBSJ42a0nK4iDD1hDUSVgX_0EJwa_D8-8XktzNP3mOoNvNMexVqXeBP_dBych3FScCu-XQcHpFEs1H7ywIyWL16fHA-tItN-P-j7UPTMin5OAx/s640/DSC_0829+BEWERKT-781107.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />See more of the <a href="http://soluz.nl/1000-brouwersgracht/">Rektangel glass wall</a>. <br /><br />~ Marloes van Heteren (SOLUZ architecture, design and advice), Amsterdam
