jgprice Hello - You are correct! The painted door that you see to the left of the shower is a toilet room. In fact, the entire wall area around the master shower is painted MDF and runs floor to ceiling and has the same finish as the door. For symmetry, dSPACE designed another door to the right of the shower for a small laundry closet in this master bathroom. Having a small laundry closet in a master bathroom is very convenient when you are 3 floors above the main laundry room of this house! We love thinking about the details and designing for the way our clients live. Thanks for appreciating our work. dSPACE Studio www.dspacestudio.com

dSPACE Studio Ltd Marianne, Great question - this shower is 5'-6" long and 4'-5 deep. The generous size is what allowed for two shower heads and the floating bench. Thank you for your question and good luck with your project!

Shower mold and drain concerns - How do you stay on top of mold that comes with such a tightly sealed shower? Also, it the shower floor sloped to get to the concealed drain under the seat? Clever if the shower drains sufficiently. »
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi, great question. We made sure that the shower glass door is dual swinging. When you are done showering, you just keep the door open to let the shower air out. The door can swing into the shower so it remains out of the way. Yes, the shower floor is sloped toward the linear drain under the shower bench. We always try to locate the shower drains so they are not in a place where you stand. The linear drain has more capacity to drain than a typical drain. Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.

Shower Bench material - My builder thinks the bench is 3-4" piece of marble and that a 3cm piece is too thin (we don't have access to anything thicker). Would you please let me know what size you used here? It is so beautiful and I would like to do the same. Thank you greatly for your response. »
donnask1 Thank you ever so much for your response and detail!!! I will forward to my contractor and hopefully this will work with our layout. I will let you know how it turns out.
Our shower is 4' wide, glass to wall. The only measurement I didn't find here was the length (from glass to opposite wall) of the bench. Got the 16" width.
Do you think 16" x 48" for the stone slab is workable?
The contractor had mentioned using the "Better Bench" stainless frame, but it requires wall mounting on 3 sides, therefore not as clean a look as this.
Compliments on your incredible projects seen on Houzz!
dSPACE Studio Ltd This is not a steam shower, but we did use the Kohler DTV Portrait Interface that is compatible with steam showers if that is something you are interested in for your project. dSPACE Studio's portfolio of award winning work can been seen at www.dspacestudio.com
Can I hire your firm to create this bathroom in my home - I am doing a complete renovation for my master suite. Bedroom bathroom and closet. I am taking down all the interior walls and starting over. I need a professional to help me with the design process so I have drawings to give to my local builder and suppliers. How would I go about getting the team who designed this space? Thank you! »

dSPACE Studio Ltd The wall behind the vanity has a wall covering from Elitis called Zanzibar-Grey. It is a synthetic grass cloth that is suitable for bathroom walls. Traditional grass cloth isn't a good option in a bathroom because it doesn't hold up to the moisture from the shower over the long term. Thank you for your question and good luck with your project!

How is the floating marble bench supported and installed? - Hello, I think the floating marble bench looks absolutely stunning. We are looking to have a floating bench installed in our (soon to be) new shower stall. Was just hoping you would be able to shed some light as to how this was constructed and installed.
Thank you,
David »
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi, great question. The marble for the bench is supported by a steel frame (hidden under the bench) and bolted to metal framing in the wall. We also recommend trying to conceal shower drains under a bench and not under foot.

dSPACE Studio Ltd Thank you for the compliment. The ceiling is our own design inspired by French and Italian villas. In the center of the ceiling we designed an oval infilled with 12x12 mirrors with beveled edges - these are then surrounded by plaster detailing.

dSPACE Studio Ltd This shower door handle is a "ladder-style" handle. This example is 10" tall. Most bath and / kitchen stores could provide this as can shower glass installers. This handle is great looking and VERY functional - you can hang a towel on the handle for easy access after a shower. Best of luck with your project. dSPACE Studio www.dspacestudio.com
Large Tiles on Shower Floor - Absolutely stunning. We are thinking of using large format tiles on our walk-in shower floor. Our tile installer has cautioned against it because it's harder to create the proper drain slope. How did you overcome this? Aesthetically, I'd rather use the same size tiles in the entire shower rather than using a mosaic size on the floor as he suggests. »
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi, great question. The linear drain has a slope inside to prevent standing water. Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.

sabrinapawa I am wondering if it is advisable to use a calcutta marble in a steam shower. We were advised by a local stone and tile company not to? What is your view?
dSPACE Studio Ltd Hi Sabrina - Marble tile is more porous and do not hold the steam as well as say, porcelain. If you use natural stone in a steam shower, be sure and have your plumbing supplier up size the steam unit to accommodate the more porous tile. Thanks for your question and good luck with your projects.

It's hard to find a single basin large vanity. This one has lovely proportions as does the rest of the bathroom! Was this purchased (if so could you indicate where it's available) or was it custom made? »

dSPACE Studio Ltd The wall covering is synthetic product with the look and feel of grass cloth material called Zanzibar Grey from Elitis. We love it for bathrooms because it will withstand the moisture of the bathroom better than a traditional grass cloth. Good Luck with your project!
