Inspired by American architect George Nakashima, Jermain Gallacher approached the renovation of a Georgian townhouse bathroom in London with a 'less-is-more' philospohy. Gallacher introduced a tiled tub and vanity, reminiscent of the sculptural bath at Nakashima’s Pennsylvania home, and incorporates subtle floral motifs inspired by his client’s illustrations. The addition of a Satellite Mirror by the late Irish architect and furniture designer, Eileen Gray, is the finishing detail within this eclectic bathing space.
