aluo Hi Michael, Thank you very much for your reply. Is it the nature rever rocks for the shower niche?
I am building a new home and have another project will start in spring in Vancouver BC. Is there any chance that you can work on my new project? My email address is amy.luo98@yahoo.ca

calikym Impressive use of texture.

Michael Tauber Architecture I suggest you contact a glass shower installer in the Denver area. He can also discuss the glass options with you in greater detail. Tempered does not mean green tint.
Good Luck,
Michael

lemd What kind of grout (water proof , anti-mildew) do you use for mosaic wall tiles?

Michael Tauber Architecture Lemd,
I would follow the tile manufacturers recommendation. Good luck,michael

Michael Tauber Architecture The tile is Ann Sacks - 12 x 12 linen mosaic 5/8" - AS 2396-2.
Thank you for the question, Michael

Michael Tauber Architecture The niche sits within the stud cavity of the wall framing. It is custom in the sense that it was designed to a size and was framed accordingly.
Thank you for the question,
Michael

Michael Tauber Architecture This pebble tile is from Walker Zanger called Zen Grdn Maluku tan item #2ZGAMTA12 and it comes in 12 x 12 netted tiles. Other companies have similar pebble tiles including Porcelanosa.
Thanks for your question,
Michael

brucebeach Thank you

Michael Tauber Architecture Many make grab bars.This one was specified as CR Laurence 18" brushed nickel GB18. Brushed nickel is a nicer finish than stainless steel and matched the rest of the plumbing fixtures.
Make sure the material and fasteners will not rust.
Behind the escutcheon plates (the round parts at the wall itself) are plates that allow for attachement into the wall. It is critical that the wall framing behind the grab bar has blocking if it is wood framed or metal blocking/backing if it is metal studs to ensure that there is adequate strength to support someone using the grab bar.
Thanks for the question.

lindaka Do you happen to have a picture of the floor and walls? I am trying to copy your wonderful design. Thank you, Linda.

lindaka We have chosen 12 x 24 tiles for the walls

Michael Tauber Architecture The plumbing fixtures are all in the Dornbracht- Tara series. Finish is platinum matte. The handles are Dornbracht X-tool. This the european type of separate volume and temperature control with a separate valve to allow for the water to come out of the handheld or the shower head.
Thank you for the question.
Michael Tauber

Michael Tauber Architecture Yes they were tempered and they were installed by the tile subcontractor supplied by the glass door/enclosure subcontractor. This designed required the coordination of the tile setter as the glass is held back form the face of the wall tile. Thanks for the question,
Michael Tauber

bluemtn Having trouble finding small glass tempered shelves in the Denver Co area. Any suggestions?

Michael Tauber Architecture The niche is 12" wide x 5'-6" tall. Thank you for the question.
Michael

Michael Tauber Architecture The glass shelves were installed by cutting tile on sides of niche to allow for the glass to slide in and then holding it back from face of wall tile the depth of the wall tile.
Thanks for the question, Michael

Michael Tauber Architecture Floor tile was ann sacks linen 12 x 12 - 5/8" mosaic. Mosaic tiles work better for accomodating slope where there are drains - Also it made a tile between the back wall mosaic tiles and the floor - visually.

Michael Tauber Architecture You are right! It is tile from Ann Sacks - Linen - Mosaic 5/8" and 12 x 12 tiles.
Thanks for asking, Michael, The architect! Pebbles by walker zanger in niche - zen garden maluku.
Best

calvarad Thanks it looks beautiful

Ronique Gibson From this picture it is hard to say the length. You can see the large tiles on the left and right are probably 12"x12" tiles.. so it's at least 3' to 4' deep.

The back shower wall you can eyeball how big a 12"x12" tile would fit, approx. 4 across. So I would say by this picture it is 4'-4'6" wide.

Length: approx 3' to 4'
Width: 4' to 4'6"

Michael Tauber Architecture The answer is 3' x 5' was a former bathtub location. Thank you for the question - Michael Tauber the architect of the project.
Best,
Michael

design_1 I think it might be Dornbracht.

Michael Tauber Architecture Dornbracht tara - Thanks for asking, michael the architect of the project

Paul Anater Work like this is always custom and that height would vary between 18" and 20" above the floor, depending on who's using the seat. There aren't any rules other than what works for whoever's going to use the shower seat.

Michael Tauber Architecture Paul is right, I designed it to be 18 " above the shower floor. Thank you for the question, Michael
