1 BLOCK PARTY
Glass bricks are enjoying a style renaissance not witnessed since their 1980s heyday, and American design studio Ike Baker Velten is on board. For this bathroom with walk-in shower, the use of glass bricks with grey mortar creates a translucent screen that’s structurally sound. ‘It provides an ephemeral sense of privacy while diffusing light in an interesting way,’ says partner, John Ike. Venetian glass bricks, Glen-Gery [USA only]. For similar in the UK, try Vetropieno Rettangolare Neutro glass blocks, from £166 for five, Glass Blocks Direct. Project by Ike Baker Velten.
