RAK Ceramics brings spa-style luxury to the bathrooms at Retreat Gardens

Leading tile and bathroom manufacturer RAK Ceramics has helped Yellow Door Property realise its vision for Retreat Garden, a new and exclusive development in Suffolk. Located within the walled kitchen gardens of Lakenheath Hall, Retreat Gardens is said to be a new-build project that takes luxury, sustainable living to new heights. Created in collaboration with London practice, Works Architecture, it consists of 2 architecturally stunning properties that feature a modern aesthetic.

Specialist development company Yellow Door Property selected RAK Ceramics to supply the tiles as well as all the bathroom solutions for the properties following a visit to the inspirational 7,276sq ft RAK Ceramics Design Hub in Clerkenwell.

Paul Ashley, owner of Yellow Door Property, said: “I’d heard great things about RAK Ceramics but even so, I was blown away by the London Design Hub. RAK Ceramics’ design team were very knowledgeable and incredibly helpful as was their specification department. The CGIs they created really helped us visualise the project.”

RAK Ceramics’ service offering and portfolio enabled Yellow Door Property to create cohesive designs that flowed throughout the 2 homes. This included freestanding RAK-Valet baths in the spacious master bedroom en suites, illuminated mirrors and recessed shower niches. Vanity units, rimless wall-hung pans, basins, mixers and shower valves also feature. All the products were chosen for their quality, durability and ability to create luxurious, spa-like sanctuaries.

Also used in the bathrooms and throughout the interiors were RAK Ceramics’ Surface 2.0 concrete-effect porcelain floor tiles in Off White Matt and Cool Grey Matt. They cover around 1500sq ft of each property, which is approximately half the internal floor area. Surface 2.0 Grey Matt Outdoor tiles also feature externally, providing a visual link between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
