Lake Shore Drive Bathrooms
http://www.dspacestudio.com

The owners of this condominium wanted to transform their outdated bathrooms into spa-like retreats. The concept was to create a soothing and timeless design while maintaining the existing footprint of the current bathrooms. Existing structural columns and plumbing stack locations were integrated into the design.

Continuity between the bathrooms was important and was created by using similar materials in each bathroom - Spanish marble on the floors and walls, and quarter sawn walnut for the custom floating vanities. Design interest was created with glass tiles - 1x8 glass mosaic tiles in the master bath and 4x12 glass tiles in the guest bath. Minimalist, square trimless down lighting was used throughout. Contemporary and energy efficient perimeter cove lighting creates a floating ceiling plane while highlighting the tile walls in soft light.

Custom designed floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides ample storage and an open display niche in the master bathroom. The design of the bathrooms achieves the look and feel of a luxury hotel with functionality and comfort for daily enjoyment.

Grout - What kind and color of grout did you use for the marble and glass tiles? Also, what are the dimensions of the tiles on the shower floor? »
· Comment · 3 weeks ago
dSPACE Studio Ltd We used an off-white grout for both the Nublado marble tile and the glass tile. Mapei and Laticrete are two brands of grout that both have a range of white and off-white grout colors to choose from. Since Nublado marble is a natural material and can have some color variation from lot to lot, we always recommend selecting the grout with the actual tile used on the project. The tile on the floor of the shower is a 12x24 tile Nublado marble tile, the same as the flooring throughout the bathroom. Good luck with your project!

barbaravincent have you had any problems with using glass tile in a shower/bath on an outside wall. My contractor does not want to use my glass tile because he says it will expand and contract and I will have problems with leaking.

dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi, great question. This bathroom is 11'-0 by 8'-0 (including the cabinets on the left side of the image). It does not have a bathtub. Thank you for your question and good luck with your project!

Have you experienced any problems using the Nublado Marble in wet applications, such as showers? - I absolutely love the look of Nublado, especially what you've done here with contrasting materials, but I was under the impression that it wasn't recommended for wet areas -- thoughts? »
· Comment · 3 months ago
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi, great question. As long as the Nublado is properly sealed, it is fine in a bathroom application. Nublado does have a high sensitivity to acid etching and is therefore not recommended in Kitchens or other applications where it might come into contact with acid foods like lemon juice or tomatoes. We have not had any problems with the Nublado material in bathrooms and showers on our projects.
Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.

floor just outside the bath - Hello again--sorry to bother you but I am studying this design in detail. I hadn't even noticed the amazing vanity design. WOW. Anyway, my question now is: what is the floor just outside the bath? Did you try to match the tone for continuity's sake? Or not bother with that and go with contrast? Thanks again. »
· Comment · 10 months ago
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi - The floor outside is a rich dark hardwood floor for high contrast. Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.

what was used for the floor tile? »

dSPACE Studio Ltd We used an amazing Spanish Marble called Nublado from Stone Source. Tile sizes were 12x24. We like the soothing movement and color. The price was very affordable. Good luck - dSPACE Studio Architecture

Jennifer Blaese This is a honed marble sometimes know as Nublado (Stone Source,) Angora Grey or Athens Silver Cream (Ann Sacks.) It's a beautiful stone for a bathroom, but not a great option for kitchens.
20 months ago ·
dSPACE Studio Ltd Thanks for answering the question Jennifer - you are correct. We sourced this stone from Stone Source in Chicago where it is known as Nublado. We like the timeless movement and color or this stone, and it is available at a very good price point.

dSPACE Studio Ltd Great question - yes this mirror is attached with blocking to the wall. The mirror was cut to the same height as the adjacent medicine cabinet for an integrated look.
