koupelnové a kuchyňské studio

The Bratislava showroom of ELITE BATH and top kitchen manufacturer bulthaup is a unique concept of a bathroom and kitchen studio for the most demanding; for those who are not satisfied with the usual standard and like to surround themselves with "pure beauty". It won the International Property Awards for Best Retail Interior Europe in December 2019. more

As in the case of the first ELITE BATH showroom in Prague's Karlín district, a prime location on one of the arterial roads leading into the centre of Bratislava was chosen for the headquarters, the attractiveness of which is multiplied by the connection with the bulthaup kitchen studio. ELITE BATH's new showroom is located at Dvořákovo nábrežie, in the new, renowned and easily accessible Zuckermandel development on the banks of the river Danube. The joint effort of the operator and the architects from the DAM team was to create a unique meeting place in Bratislava for the most demanding private customers, developers' clients, architects, designers and representatives of the professional press and public media. The showroom's spatial concept is based not only on visibility and openness towards the Danube embankment thanks to six two-storey shop windows but also on the generosity and airiness the presented exclusive collections of top manufacturers deserve. The two-storey spaces are well organised, allowing you to concentrate on the essentials. A backlit reception desk levitates in front of a glowing onyx wall positioned directly opposite the entrance to the ELITE BATH section with stairs leading to the mezzanine on the right and an aisle with double-sided exhibition cubicles on the left. Adjacent to the central row of cubicles on the window side, three podiums are angled for best visibility from the exterior. The latest innovations and most exclusive products are presented on them. Finally, at the end of the aisle, visitors flow freely into the entrance floor of the bulthaup kitchen studio. The ascending to the mezzanine level is animated by one of the showroom's major attractions, the functional-experience shower area. Here, visitors can enjoy "first-hand" the pleasure of various forms of showering. For example, under the large shower panels, through water massages and scraping tropical rain, to trying out one of the sophisticated programmes of the state-of-the-art horizontal recumbent shower.

The staircase ends in a mezzanine in an open conference zone with a table for ten to fifteen persons allowing projecting to present innovations and products of carefully selected companies, seminars, and lectures to invited participants, or presentations of designed proposals developed for clients by the ELITE BATH team. Informal meetings, enriched by culinary treats, are made possible by the adjacent kitchen during the showroom opening hours and especially in the evening. The showroom is not the usual sample room. Instead, exclusive products are only displayed in carefully and comprehensively designed cubicles; wall and floor tile samples are hidden on pull-out panels in the cabinets between the cubicles. The white screed floor symbolises purity and the dark semi-transparent suspended ceiling visually increases the ceiling height. In the showroom of the world-famous bulthaup brand, a trend-setter and a name synonymous with luxury kitchens, furniture and kitchen equipment are freely arranged in timeless, minimalist configurations, presenting the various bulthaup product lines. Two complete kitchens are fully operational, periodically used for cooking sessions during which clients and chefs of selected Slovak and Czech restaurants enjoy cooking together.
