A design studio for the quietest room in the house — daylight, stone and water, and the luxury of leaving things out.
Pl. i — An ensuite, given room to breatheThe quietest room deserves the most considered design.
Pl. ii — Stone bath, garden lightWe design the daylight before the fittings. Where the sun falls, where the steam catches it, where a wall is best left empty — these decide a bathroom long before the tap does.

Travertine, honed marble, limewash — surfaces that age softly and ask for nothing. Against them a single warm metal: brushed brass, or the quiet of matte black. Never both.

Wet room
Still lifeThe last thing we add is the one you came for. A deep, slow bath; a wide, quiet shower — designed so the room is calm with the water running, and calmer without it.

Pl. v — The powder room, matte black
Listen. The room, the light, the way you start and end the day.
Draw. The daylight and the empty walls first; the fittings last.
Specify. Stone, one warm metal, and nothing the room doesn't need.
Finish. Made calm — quiet with the water running, quieter without.
Lumen is a concept piece by AMS Design — a calm, considered single-link world for a studio that sells restraint as much as a room.
