Yesterday our judges gave their scores on the contestant's first challenge, the guest bedroom. At the end of it all, Rudolph walked away with the highest score, well now they need to put all that they have behind them because and focus particularly on their new focus which is the challenge ahead. What will they have to do next? Let's find out. Hi guys, welcome to your next assignment. This week we're obviously discussing bathrooms. When designing a bathroom it's very important to have an overall plan of what you want to do. Think about the different trades that are obviously put together to build a bathroom. Human scale and ergonomics is definitely one of the things that I think is probably the most key element when designing a bathroom. When you're designing a vanity or you are designing a shower or a bath you've got to think about those locations because they've got to be put in quite early on in the process. The second thing I would ask you to focus on would be obviously things like storage. Bathrooms obviously have a lot of products, they have a lot of tiling and it's important that you consider those things when designing the bathroom. I would definitely think about the materials that you use obviously have to be dextrous and they have to be very tactile materials purely because it's a space where there's steam, there's water. There's a lot of activity going on in bathrooms all the time and obviously you know with cleaning and detergents and things these products have to be relatively bulletproof. So on that note I mean do you guys have any questions that you'd like to ask? So John, how do you introduce the feeling of warmth into a bathroom? Think of it as a space where you know to create that moodiness we would obviously like to throw in some warm sort of accent lighting and try and find opportunities sort of where we can light things from behind spaces. So for example behind a mirror or underneath a vanity just to get that beautiful accent glow and then secondly you've got to think about being able to sort of render your face properly in a mirror so think about that lighting too. It's very very important that when you do your makeup in the morning that you actually see you know as a realistic picture looking back at you. How do you find a balance between masculinity and femininity in a bathroom? It's a very good question. Look I tend to I mean contemporary design I think you know really kind of tackles that problem to some extent. Men and women have different needs in a bathroom which also has to be very very carefully thought through. I would focus on you know keeping things concealed, focus on the minimalism in the space, the simplicity of the space and rather let the materials do the talking rather than trying to accentuate one or the other. Should we then still consider his and hers vanity? I definitely feel that a his and hers vanity is definitely the way to go. It is going to be a slight challenge for you you know knowing that the bathroom you're designing is quite compact but I would definitely make an allowance for this because it seems to be the trend these days and I think for that luxury feel it's definitely something I would consider.
