These four dark bathrooms from the ArchDaily catalog embrace the concept of peaceful darkness to create calming spaces with low, ambient lighting, natural materials, and dark surfaces. By blocking out excessive light, these bathrooms offer a sense of tranquility and encourage self-care. Each design utilizes a different approach, such as balancing dark colors with reflective details, incorporating natural tones and filtered air, creating a meditative environment with rough textured surfaces, and featuring a sculptural black bathtub surrounded by rich green marble.
Zibu House, designed by Di Frenna Arquitectos, is a visually stunning and sensory experience. The house features a central axis that guides exploration throughout the space, framed by black steel columns that provide structural support and highlight key elements. The house offers privacy and a sense of welcome through its closed facades and retractable lattice. Four courtyards filled with vegetation create pauses and breaths of light and shadow. The ground floor houses social areas, while the upper floor accommodates private spaces. The materiality of the house is elegant and sober, with exposed black steel beams, concrete grooves, and stone textures. The use of pigmented yellow concrete adds a distinctive touch. Zibu House is a sanctuary of design and tranquility, where every detail has been carefully considered for a unique experience.
