Marble Steam Room in Elegant Surrey Apartment

Dröm UK were asked to refurbish the main bathroom of a 2 bedroom apartment, on the first floor of a converted country house in Surrey. The bathroom needed to include a steam room with a variety of holistic therapies to enhance the bathing experience and it was requested that the window was retained and made into a feature.

The room was gutted and all the pipework, wastes and water supplies were relocated to accommodate the new design. Once the area had been waterproofed with appropriate tanking to the walls and floor, a frameless glass screen was installed to the inside of the feature window to prevent steam escaping. This matches the glass to the front of the room, giving an illusion of space and light. A Dröm UK custom steam outlet with essence reservoir was fitted to wall. By adding a few drops of pure essential oil to the reservoir, an injection of the chosen fragrance permeates through the steam.   A heated, marble cantilevered bench was positioned slightly away from the rear wall with LED strip lighting beneath giving a subtle glow to the room. Music speakers were also concealed under the bench. Two niches display healing crystals, lit by downlighters.

A Gessi experience shower with chromotherapy lighting was installed. The lighting can be used without the shower, tinting the steam as it fills the room. The various shower functions include tropical rain shower, water blade and atomiser mist.

The room was finished with elegant Calacatta marble to match the bench and a Moroccan Tadelakt plaster finish to the ceiling.
