Though limited in space, the homeowners desired a separate freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Given the size parameters, the dilemma was solved with the inclusion of a back-to-wall bath that saves on floor space. A single-basin vanity further ensured that all the client’s wishes were fulfilled within the space allocated to the main bathroom.

When it came to design, the owners wanted a neutral space that would stand the test of time and provide a relaxing atmosphere. Large-format porcelain tiles in a lightly veined pattern of warm grey and white were laid across the floor and up three of the walls, all the way to the ceiling. This solid foundation was complemented by a single feature wall of white finger tiles behind the bath. The textural effect produced by the linear feature tiles adds visual interest but maintains the calm feel of the room.

The vertical pattern formed by the finger tiles is reflected in the bathroom’s single vanity and off set by the soft curves of the single round basin. The grooved vanity front keeps the pattern flowing while contributing additional depth to the design to make it contemporary yet timeless. A sleek mirrored cabinet above the vanity affords the inhabitants additional face-level storage. Finishing off the design with matt black tapware that grounds the light-hued palette, this bathroom is a contrasting scheme softened by textural features that create a simple yet elegant bathroom.

Autoflo was the first company in Australia to develop and produce electronic tapware in 1985. The original design had a unique, internationally patented feature being the “safety run timer”, which has since been adopted by all electronic tap manufacturers, a testament to the innovative nature of the company. Today the driving requirement is water conservation and the management of cross contamination using quality touch fee tapware.

The local design and manufacturing capability gives Autoflo a distinct advantage over competitors that import and supply off-the-shelf products. With the ability to supply standard ranges for both Kitchen and bathroom under Autoflo brand, along with customisation, gives customers a level of flexibility which ensure project success.

In collaboration with architects and interior designers, Autoflo can develop and manufacture bespoke, project-specific solutions and finishes for public and private space to compliment the design palette.

The original design had a unique, internationally patented feature being the “safety run timer,” which has since been adopted by all electronic tap manufacturers, a testament to the innovative nature of the company.

In the late 1990s Autoflo was acquired by an electronics manufacturing company in Melbourne. This acquisition helped the company diversify its product range and cleverly incorporate electronic sensing into new bespoke tapware, setting a lead followed by other sensor tap manufacturers. The local design and manufacturing capability gives Autoflo a distinct advantage over competitors that import and supply off-the-shelf products.

As a local manufacturer, Autoflo works with architects and interior designers to develop the best product for the application, which may include customised features in operation with a range of finishes to complement the design palette.

In addition to their branded Autoflo / AutoAqua range of products, they have designed and manufactured an exclusive range of kitchen and bathroom tapware
for the Reece Group.

Featuring a slim aesthetic, twist dial mixer handle, and split finish design, each piece makes a stylish statement and is available in a range of kitchen and bathroom tapware products, allowing the designer look to be carried throughout the home.

The Toi Collection embraces the current eclectic trend for mixed materials and dual finishes through its material combinations including a Chrome / Matte Black split finish, Matte Black / Brushed Rose Gold combination, and a straight classic Chrome for a more understated look.

Matte Black is a stylish statement finish that complements simple, monochromatic environments, and paired with Chrome, this union is a confident yet sophisticated look. The dusty pink, metallic tone of the Brushed Rose Gold is also a statement look and is well suited to a grey, neutral colour palette. When combined with Matte Black, these two finishes create a modern look that suits minimalist interior designs.

Each bathroom mixer in the Toi collection features a twist dial handle which uses a high quality, German made Progressive Cartridge. The compact design of this cartridge has made it possible to design Toi with a slim aesthetic, giving it a minimalist, designer appeal. When turning the dial the Progressive Cartridge opens the flow of cold water and, as you continue turning, the cartridge activates the mixing process by adding hot water until, at maximum turn, only hot water is flowing. To shut off the flow of water simply turn the twist dial back to its original position.

Toi’s handle also features a two click indicator system which can be felt by the user as they twist the mixer dial. The first click in the system indicates when the hot water starts mixing with the cold and the second click signals when the water flow has an equal hot/cold mix.

The international design community has recently recognised these technical features and Toi’s unique design with a 2017 iF DESIGN AWARD.

We are proud of our design team and their talent in crafting a collection which so perfectly blends upscale form and optimum function. Individual, stylish and audacious, the Toi collection blurs the line between industry and art.
