With great care, dedication, and craftsmanship, the 15 m² master bathroom of this city villa (built in 2010) in Bremen was carefully renovated.
The young homeowners — parents of two small children — wanted a modern, seamless bathroom. But that wasn’t all: the end result was to be minimalist, yet the materials should feel luxurious and high-quality. They requested a terrazzo floor and terrazzo wall cladding.
Terrazzo floors have a long history, dating back to ancient Roman villas, where a mixture of binder and aggregate created durable, elegant surfaces. The demand for this special flooring grew steadily, establishing a tradition of craftsmanship passed down through generations.
However, using traditional terrazzo techniques here would have been too error-prone. Instead of compromising, we developed a seamless material in terrazzo style ourselves. After extensive testing, we achieved the perfect blend: color and glass aggregates were mixed individually to suit this project.
Not only was the material quality important to the homeowners, but all bathroom furniture and sanitary products had to be absolutely exclusive. They quickly decided on a custom washbasin and shower system from Baqua.
The washbasin, called the “Stapler,” was custom-made for the family and harmonizes perfectly with the plaster material. Both the splash plate (which cleverly hides the basin drain but is easy to remove) and the casing and drawer fronts were flawlessly finished. A drywall partition was installed so that a mirrored cabinet could sit flush with the wall.
To maintain the seamless design throughout, the surrounding Baqua shower channel was installed. This patented system not only impresses with minimalist design but also with practicality: there are no visible silicone joints that could discolor or mold over time, and the built-in sieve-free siphon eliminates the hassle of removing hair clumps.
