A Timber Residence Through the Lens of John Pawson

A Timber Residence Through the Lens of John Pawson

Set into a wooded hillside, this contemporary timber residence unfolds as a single, unbroken volume. Rafters run the length of a pitched oak ceiling, glass replaces the wall on one side of the room, and the bedroom gives way to the bathroom without a door to mark the change.

Where Designer-Led Elements Meet Purpose

Rooted in his pursuit of simplicity and proportion, John Pawson's collaboration with COCOON brings architectural clarity to this timber house bathroom. While the residence itself is not designed by Pawson, the bath, basin, and fixtures come from the John Pawson by COCOON collection, reflecting his balanced approach to form, material, and use.

A Bath Cast in Earth

The JP BATH SOLID SURFACE in Earth holds its round form without a seam breaking the line from rim to base. Set against the glass and the forest beyond it, the bath reads as one grounded gesture, its warm, matte tone answering the oak around it.

Overhead, the JP SET24THERM thermostatic bath fixtures set in Brushed Gold are mounted flush to the wall. Once set, the temperature holds, so the fitting is used rather than adjusted twice a quiet, functional note that keeps the focus on the bath's stillness.

A Basin Without Excess

On the oak vanity, the BOWL 1.1 round washbasin in Earth repeats the bath's logic at a smaller scale: a single curve, deep enough to be functional, plain enough to sit into the counter.

Paired with the JP SET02 wall-mounted basin mixer in Brushed Gold, the basin sits under one clean line rather than a fitted arrangement, the wall behind it left bare.

Water, Reduced to Essentials

At the far end of the room, a niche opens straight up to the forest canopy through a single angled skylight. Here the JP SET22THERM thermostatic shower fixtures set, in the same Brushed Gold as the rest of the room, is kept to one wall-mounted valve and a single overhead head, nothing more than what the moment requires.

The Kitchen as an Extension

The same discipline carries through to the kitchen. Set into a concrete island against timber cabinetry, the JP-09.2 kitchen mixer follows a single curved line from base to spout, with no unnecessary detailing along the way.

Material decisions like these are rarely made alone. COCOON’s Project Division is there at every step, from understanding the collections to shaping a bathroom that feels like your very own COCOON.

All our materials are of the highest quality, and this is something best understood firsthand, through material samples sent to your home, or in person at one of our showrooms, where every surface, detail, and finish can be experienced.

A Timber House Interior Built From One Material

Oak weaves through the ceiling, bed platform, and vanity, establishing a single visual rhythm throughout the space. The room’s proportions create naturally rich detail, allowing the natural grain and precise detailing to give the home its quiet, lasting presence.

Bathed in Daylight

Full-height glass along one side of the room pulls the tree line directly into the space, and the light it lets in changes the room's character through the day. It's the same weight John Pawson has long given light in his own work — treated as a material in its own right, not an afterthought.
