BEFORE Docklands Apartment Bathrooms Renovation
Master Renovations Melbourne was engaged by a client living in a stunning level 18 apartment in the heart of the Docklands. While the home offered incredible panoramic views of the city and waterfront, the interior of the bathrooms told a different story. The spaces were dated, dominated by small white mosaic tiles and a cramped, built-in bathtub that no longer suited the client’s lifestyle.
Initially unsure of the exact design direction, the client needed guidance on how to transform these functional spaces into modern retreats. He wanted to move away from the cluttered feel of the original layout and create a sleek, cohesive look that matched the premium feel of his high-rise home.
The existing spaces featured small white mosaic tiles and a compact built-in bathtub that made the rooms feel confined and visually busy.
Our Bathroom Renovation Process
To help find the perfect style, we guided the client through our portfolio and online design inspirations. Once a reference design was selected, Master Renovations prepared a comprehensive package, handling everything from the selection of tiles and tapware to vanities and showers.
High-rise renovations come with a unique set of logistical hurdles. Because the apartment is located on the 18th floor of an occupied building, coordination was paramount. To ensure a smooth process, the client temporarily relocated while our team managed strict lift schedules, loading bay access, and noise control to remain respectful of the neighboring residents.
Despite the complexities of high-rise logistics, the renovation progressed smoothly. With detailed planning and clear communication our team maintained a rigorous schedule. Both the main bathroom and the ensuite were fully stripped back and rebuilt, with the entire project reaching completion in just six weeks.
Our Docklands Apartment Bathroom Renovation Process
- Design Guidance & Selection: We worked closely with the client to move away from outdated mosaics, helping him select a modern palette and premium fixtures that aligned with his vision.
- High-Rise Logistics Management: We expertly navigated the challenges of level 18 construction, including detailed scheduling of material deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption to the building.
- Complete Strip-Out: Both bathrooms were demolished to their bare bones, removing the old built-in tub and small tiling to make way for a more spacious, contemporary layout.
- Professional Installation: Our team installed new waterproofing, high-end tiling, modern vanities, and sleek tapware, ensuring every detail met our high standards of craftsmanship.
- Efficient Turnaround: We managed the end-to-end process in a 6-week timeframe, allowing the client to return to his renovated home as quickly as possible.
AFTER Apartment Bathroom Ensuite Renovations
The transformation of these two bathrooms has completely revitalized the apartment. The “sea of white mosaics” has been replaced with sophisticated, modern finishes that breathe new life into the home. By removing the bulky, compact bathtub and updating the fixtures, the rooms now feel significantly more open and luxurious.
The client was thrilled with the outcome, noting that the new design perfectly complements the apartment’s impressive waterfront backdrop. What was once an outdated pair of bathrooms is now a highlight of the property.
A Sleek, Contemporary Result in Docklands
The final result is a pair of beautifully updated bathrooms that offer a true sense of modern luxury. The clean lines, improved flow, and high-quality finishes have added significant value and comfort to this level 18 residence.
This double bathroom renovation in Melbourne Docklands was another successful project for Master Renovations Melbourne. We take pride in navigating complex logistical environments to deliver stylish, practical retreats that enhance our clients’ everyday living.
