Belgium based studio Five AM completed the interior of the new bedroom suite at a house in Bellegem, west Belgium, initially designed by studio Arch-id. The space was transformed by lifting the attic roof, which allowed to locate a bathroom isle inside the big open room.

Arch-id explain the design:

As the owner wanted an open and airy feeling, we designed a monolithic white box that doesn't reach the ceiling. The height delivers the privacy when needed, but makes it still possible to interact with each other. The entire bathroom was produced in 'solid surface', which ensures seamless surfaces. The sidewall can unfold which makes interaction between sleeping and bathing possible.

I love the delicate staircase leading to the bedroom and the sense of secluded space inside the all-white bathroom cube. The low bench that wraps around the room conceals ample storage, a nice touch, contributing to the clean and uncluttered state of the space.
