A Shower Shaped around the Ceiling in Ferryhill, Aberdeen

Custom glass and fitted cupboards make this Ferryhill wetroom work with its sloping ceiling, with a shower seat and broad basin surface.

A dedicated place to shower

The bespoke glass enclosure follows the slope instead of leaving the changing ceiling height unresolved. Clear sides preserve a view towards the fitted washing wall.

A defined showering area keeps the washing routine focused in one part of the room. Clear glass preserves a view through to the surrounding finishes while marking the shower boundary. The arrangement makes the relationship between the shower and nearby fittings easy to understand when entering the room.

Essentials put away near the basin

Built-in units give products enclosed storage below the counter and above it. The basin sits within this continuous run, with work surface beside the washing point.

Enclosed storage gives daily toiletries and spare supplies a place behind doors. Products can be returned after use rather than gathering around the tap or across the worktop. Keeping storage close to the washing area also reduces the need for an extra freestanding cabinet in the room.

Make the available space useful

A fixed shower seat provides a perch within the washing area. Its tiled surfaces connect it with the floor, while the overhead outlet and handset offer rinsing choices.

The fitting positions work together with the room’s existing shape. Keeping each washing and storage area clearly defined helps the layout feel considered, rather than like unrelated objects fitted wherever they will stand. The result can be appreciated in the routes between the entrance, basin and bathing area.

Comfort beneath the tiles

Underfloor heating sits beneath the tiled finish. Pale wall tiles continue through the room, while the fitted furniture adds a darker contrast at the basin.

Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath a tiled finish when in use. It brings a comfort detail into the floor rather than adding another visible object to the room. The surface pattern can therefore remain consistent around the washing and storage areas while the heating sits beneath it.
