A 6,000 square foot 2-story new home complex in Milpitas was designed to facilitate the owners’ large business parties and gatherings, to have rooms for the kids to come back to upstairs, and a ground floor master suite with a huge walk-in closet. Several separate structures make up the dwelling: The main house, 3-car garage with carport for overflow parking, and a separate entertainment and recreation building separated by a courtyard from the main house. The business activities include gatherings in the hundreds of people, so parking was maximized and guests can flow in through a separate gate to party in the courtyard and recreation building. Inside this structure is a wet bar, billiard room, workout gym and home theater. The main house ground floor has formal and informal living rooms, open kitchen and master suite with views and expansive windows in every direction. The house is sited on the crestline of a hill with views of the San Francisco Bay and private golf course below. The indoor-outdoor aspect of the house is further accentuated with outside living and dining areas. High ceilings and expansive glass walls dissolve the sense of enclosure taking advantage of the site’s openness and privacy. The owner’s suite is downstairs in anticipation of aging-in-place, and upstairs there are three bedrooms and four bathrooms plus a sitting area lounge and casual TV loft area. The house sits on one acre at the top of a low hill range overlooking Milpitas. The city was very cognizant of the importance of keeping a low profile at this crestline and required extensive story poles and photo evidence of the proper height and siting so as not to be seen from certain selected vantage points.

Modern Teak Bathroom

place architecture:design

A renovated master bathroom in this mid-century house, created a spa-like atmosphere in this small space. To maintain the clean lines, the mirror and slender shelves were recessed into an new 2x6 wall for additional storage. This enabled the wall hung toilet to be mounted in this 'double' exterior wall without protruding into the space. The horizontal lines of the custom teak vanity + recessed shelves work seamlessly with the monolithic vanity top. Tom Holdsworth Photography

Bold and Fun Primary Bathroom

Bennett Design Co.

From the get-go, we knew this project was on a tight budget and a tighter timeline. The construction was set to begin the same week the clients approached us, but we rose to the challenge! The new design has a larger curbless shower; the toilet was moved, creating space for a larger vanity with a warm wood finish that complements the cool white and teal tiles. We selected matt black hardware, plumbing, and light fixtures. The new floorplan makes the bathroom more functional, spacious, safe, well-lit, and modern. Overall, the new bathroom highlights the beautiful hexagonal tile, which transitions across the entire room, and onto the shower walls. The project finished on time, within budget, and is functional and aesthetically pleasing!

Northwest Zen Bathroom

G. Christianson Construction, Inc.

Dark stone, custom cherry cabinetry, misty forest wallpaper, and a luxurious soaker tub mix together to create this spectacular primary bathroom. These returning clients came to us with a vision to transform their builder-grade bathroom into a showpiece, inspired in part by the Japanese garden and forest surrounding their home. Our designer, Anna, incorporated several accessibility-friendly features into the bathroom design; a zero-clearance shower entrance, a tiled shower bench, stylish grab bars, and a wide ledge for transitioning into the soaking tub. Our master cabinet maker and finish carpenters collaborated to create the handmade tapered legs of the cherry cabinets, a custom mirror frame, and new wood trim.

Walk-In Shower Ideas & Designs

Sleek, easy to clean and safer to get in and out of, walk-in showers are ideal for a number of reasons. For a seamless look, you can choose to go doorless with an open-concept, zero-entry shower, or you can go with a more standard shower enclosure with doors. Whether you’ve got a small bathroom or a master ensuite, consider the following walk-in shower ideas while you browse the photo gallery below.

1. Go Doorless

Going with a doorless shower can be a smart move if you want to open up your bathroom and create a more fluid look. You’ll just need to ensure the shower is spacious enough, with slightly sloped floors, so the rest of your bathroom doesn’t get sopping wet.

2. Small but Mighty

If you’ve got a small bathroom, it’s possible to pack maximum function and luxury into a tight space. Savor your showers with an enveloping rain shower faucet head, or add in a skylight for extra light — both of which won’t take up any extra room!

3. Be Creative with Faucet Fixtures

Without a shower curtain, you’ll want to make sure the interior of your walk-in shower is actually nice to look at. Dark, oil-rubbed bronze shower fixtures can look particularly striking, as do faucets with long, curved necks.

4. Go Bold with Tile

While you browse walk-in shower tile ideas, keep in mind that whatever you choose will be highly visible. For a minimalist look, opt for white subway tile. Alternatively, choose colorful mosaic tile to channel Mediterranean style.

5. Incorporate Seating

If you’re undertaking a bathroom remodel, consider having a shower bench installed for shaving or storing toiletries. This can be as simple as a wooden platform, or seating that’s inset into the wall.

6. Invest in Slab Marble

Hopping in the shower can be just as luxurious as soaking in the bath when you have beautiful slab marble walls all around you. And you won’t have to worry about unsightly grout stains!

7. Add a Ledge

It might seem obvious, but walk-in showers don’t typically have a spot to store soap and shampoo, so you might consider building a handy ledge into the wall.
