Hadi Teherani’s bathroom for AXOR has individual distinction | News | Architonic

In the different designs for AXOR‘s ‘Distinctive’ campaign, there is little room for fixed regulatory standards, conventions or white tiles. Instead, the concepts speak to the desires and preferences of both their designers and users. Teherani‘s concept presents the architecture with sacred expansiveness. The rounded layout is spanned by a high domed structure, for which he drew inspiration from oriental wellness centres. ‘What do you need to be safe and secure and at the same time free and detached? Humans have always built cocoons in order to feel protected and to find shelter – no matter whether they are made of snow, earth or stone. The archetype of a dwelling, if you will. Enveloping, but not constricting,’ explains the architect, who was born in Tehran and lives in Hamburg. He has deliberately not located his concept. It could stand in the centre of a house or a hotel suite, but it was designed as a place of contemplation detached from its surroundings.
