A finished bathroom only shows you the top layer. Each published project will show what sits beneath it: the location, bathroom type, client brief, before and after images, design solution, materials and final result. Project records will cover bathrooms, ensuites, showers and laundries in Moorabbin and nearby Melbourne suburbs.

THE RECORD
Seven things every published project will show
Each published project will use the same seven fields, in the same order, so rooms of different types and sizes can be read side by side and the reasons behind each outcome are easy to follow.
01 LOCATION
The suburb and the kind of home. The floor structure and the existing wet area decide what the strip-out uncovers.
02 BATHROOM TYPE
Main bathroom, ensuite, compact bathroom, walk-in shower or laundry, each linked to the matching service page.
03 CLIENT BRIEF
What the owners want changed, what is failing and what has to stay where it is.
04 BEFORE & AFTER IMAGES
The room before work starts, the opened-up walls and floor where they help explain the work, and the finished room.
05 DESIGN SOLUTION
The layout changes, waste and outlet positions, storage and screen choices that answer the brief.
06 MATERIALS
Tile format and finish, the membrane under it, the vanity, tapware and glass.
07 FINAL RESULT
How the finished room works day to day, measured against the original brief.
BEFORE & AFTER
Before and after images, and what they show
In a published project, before images will be more than a record of dated tiles. Once a room is stripped, they can show the state of the frame, where the old waste sat and whether the previous membrane was still doing its job. After images will show the finished room, so the change can be read against the brief without needing a slider.
If you like a particular finish, take it to the ideas guides. Bathroom Tile Ideas covers formats and layouts, and Walk-In Shower Ideas covers screens and floors.

WORTH NOTING BEFORE YOU ASK
■ Which room it is: bathroom, ensuite, shower or laundry
■ What’s failing now, such as leaks, drummy tiles or a cracked base
■ What must stay put and what can move
■ Finishes you like, from the guides or reference photos
