Harlem Residence Master Bath
http://mabbottseidel.com

A cookie cutter developer three bedroom duplex was transformed into a four bedroom family friendly home complete with fine details and custom millwork. A home office, artist studio and even a full laundry room were added through a better use of space. Additionally, transoms were added to improve light and air circulation.

Glass - How is the glass attached to the wall without brackets. »
· Comment · 5 weeks ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture Hmm, we've never run into that issue. There's a bead of silicone between the glass and track and grout between the track and adjacent tile. We also use a waterproofing layer behind the tile and extending behind the sheetrock (in this example) of Laticrete 9235. I think their concern is good in that there's always a chance that dissimilar materials will expand and contract differently and that a joint could open up. That said, we've never had a problem. I think the combination of silicone, grout, and Laticrete is safe. Hope this helps.

bt311 How is that plumbing done to move that faucet valve to the left wall?

benjijk Nicely done. Like the blend of tile and glass. Glass tile like that comes in a few different colors and frosted and glossy variations. http://tiledaily.com/2013/03/22/brillant-glass-collection/

Mabbott Seidel Architecture I'm a fan of these tiles too! They're from the "Glacier" line of glass tiles by Stone Source. These particular tiles are clear but we've also used them in a satin finish that has a very soft feel.

Kasper Custom Remodeling, LLC Try www.crlaurence.com. They carry hinges, brackets and supplies for frameless showers. Or check with your local glass and mirror provider.

Mabbott Seidel Architecture Yup, they'r from CR Laurence. They're typically pretty easy for a glass fabricator to get a hold of. Best of luck with your project.

afz7 who makes the sink and the medicine cabinet?
2 months ago ·
alexley Hi. The sink is a Lacava 5061. Although it's similar to the Duravit Vero, it has a wider edge which is nice for setting things. The medicine cabinet is custom and the wood species around the mirror is Douglas Fir.

Mirror cabinet - Is the mirror cabinet custom made? How deep is it? »

Mabbott Seidel Architecture Sorry for my delay in answering. Yes, the medicine cabinet is custom so is unusually deep at about 6". I recently saw a nice lower budget version of an Ikea medicine cabinet with a custom frame around it.

What material is the shower floor made from? What about the bath floor? »
· Comment · 5 months ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture Hi, the bathroom and shower are the same material but different treatments. It goes by a couple of different names - gray foussana or baltimore. In the bathroom proper it's a single slab of stone in a honed finish. In the shower it's installed as individual tiles with a "scarpaletto" finish for better grip. Hope this helps.

Shower arm... - Hi, just wondering if you've ever had any issues with rainshower heads being too heavy for that arm length (seems long). I'm cosidering doing something similar but am afraid of it snapping at the elbow joint in the wall. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. »
· Comment · 6 months ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture Hi there. No, we haven't had any problems with a long shower arm on this or any other projects. The head is actually pretty light. You could also look into a ceiling mounted shower arm and use the same head. One thing to be aware of is the spacing of any lights in the shower. If you locate a light directly above the head, a chrome finish will reflect onto the ceiling. A little thing... Best of luck.

Can you give me a ballpark price for the glass tiles. Thank you for you help. »
· Comment · 8 months ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture Depending on the supplier and manufacturer the cost can range from $14 - $30 psf. They're not inexpensive but if used within a space like a shower the overall cost is worth it.

What is the color and size of the tiles on the walls of the shower »
· Comment · 8 months ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture The tile is from the Glacier Glass line at Stone Source. The color is Pale Blue and the size is 12"x24". We've completed a couple of bathrooms in similar finishes and have been happy with the results.

Shower Size - What size is the shower space and what are the dimensions of the glass? Thanks! »
· · Comment · 9 months ago
Mabbott Seidel Architecture The shower is about 5' long and 2'-8" between the wall and glass partition. The glass panel is about 8' tall and 30" wide leaving about 30" to enter and leave the shower. It's worth paying extra for low iron glass...

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by John Whipple - By Any Design ltd. to Convert Your Tub Space to a Shower — the Planning Phase
Measure the bathroom exactly. Draw the finished wall measurements, right down to the 1/8 inch. Most tubs are 60 inches wide, and this is a great width for a shower. The depth is the kicker. Aim for at least 32 to 34 inches from the finished tile wall to the future glass shower door. You will also need to to have a finished ceiling height of 80 inches minimum and a shower that's at least 30 by 30 inches to comply with the National Kitchen & Bath Association's guidelines for bathrooms. If you decide to plan for a bench, make sure it doesn't crowd this space of 30 by 30 inches minimum.Record the toilet location. A distance of 15 to 18 inches from the the center of the toilet to the glass on the new shower door tends to be comfortable.

Make sure you'll still have plenty of space. When you replace a tub with a shower, the toilet can start to feel crowded. Make sure you pay attention to this so it feels right to you. Try to keep at least 15 inches room from the center of the toilet to the new shower glass. If your shower ends up being on the smaller side, you can skimp on this measurement a bit.
