We did a shower close to this one & love it. We used real stone on the floor that has drains in a lot of area between the stone.

and what color did you use for the cabinets

THanks

Hi Toby,

Thanks for the series of great questions above. Sorry it took a while to get back to you on some of these. Taking your questions one at a time:

Tile in the Bathroom: We love the look of fully tiled bathroom walls - very clean and timeless. However, a fully tiled bathroom wall will have more hard surface areas than the bathroom shown in the image above. Just a different look, so keep that in mind.

Kitchen Flooring: You can absolutely keep the herringbone pattern on the floor and pair with white cabinets. We love the high-contrast look between dark hardwood floors and lighter or white cabinets.

Kitchen Counter: The counter material in the image above is Calcutta honed marble. Please keep in mind that marble has higher maintenance requirements than granite or quartzite stones.

Kitchen Cabinets: These are Walnut cabinets with a custom blended stain in a 50% sheen.

Hopefully we were able to answer all of your questions. Let us know if you need additional information, and good luck with your project!

It is absolutely necessary to seal natural stone if you want it to look good for a lifetime. Here's two smart resources to answer your sealing questions in greater detail so you will know how to protect your investment in marble:

Hi - did you decide to seal? Having same issues - any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The vanity paint color is Kendall Charcoal from Benjamin Moore, with is the same color as the millwork wall and door. Thank you for the question - and good luck with your project!

Love this vanity, its chic yet functional --we wouldn't change a thing! To enhance the counter storage area for makeup and fragrances while keeping with the integrity of the gorgeous design, adding an over the counter storage unit that's clear down to its glossy handles would be a great idea! A great example is on sale now in the Houzz marketplace at [https://www.houzz.com/products/luxury-beauty-case-and-makeup-organizer-prvw-vr~52523042?lid=37731778[(https://www.houzz.com/products/luxury-beauty-case-and-makeup-organizer-prvw-vr~52523042?lid=37731778)

Enjoy!

This custom shower looks really amazing. I love that it has a bench seat in the shower. I have been thinking about renovating my bathroom. Do you know know what stone is used in the shower? I would love to use something like it in my bathroom. http://www.monroeind.com/

Hi Penelope, the tiles on the shower walls and shower ceiling are a custom 12" x 24" Calcatta Marble cut from a slab. It's a timeless look! Good luck with your project.

How is the floating shower seat secured?

One must account for enough steel and concrete to accommodate the weight of a person sitting on the bench.

The marble we used is 3/4" thick with a steel support pan underneath to hold the mortar. However, behind the wall, we added a large structural steel beam to account for the overturning force due to added weight on the bench.

This is what holds the bench in place and gives the appearance of a clean edge underneath. An engineer should be able to assist you for further development. Hope this helps.

-dSPACE

Thanks so much! As an engineer this appears to be a solid plan. Who manufactured the bench support pan? I would also assume two 16" center for steel supports.

John, thanks again for your questions. We don't have the exact manufacturer from that project but Innovis Corporation makes a product called Better-Bench. We would also recommend reaching out to your tile subcontractor or tile supplier and they might have some recommendations. Thanks again!

Hi could the same result be achieved by following this YouTube video?

https://youtu.be/EmSMTJDVuCM

Hello,

We have never used this product so we cannot speak to how safe or sturdy the bench would be. We suggest consulting an engineer, just to be safe!

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!

PAINT COLOR OF CABINETS

Also in a couple of comments, it said the wall are paint, is it paint or wall paper. it is beautiful

what are the shower fixtures?

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?

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.

Thanks so much! Two last questions if I could be a bother again:

- Where did they hide the receptacle for the LED cove lights? (Im guessing maybe in that closet next to the shower.)
- are the lights in the shower 4 inch?

Hello again!

The LED in the cove light is a wet-rated Luminii strip, which is run back to a Lutron lighting system in an A/V closet off the hall behind the bathroom. What you are seeing to the left of the shower is the door to the toilet room. The shower light is a 3" wet-rated fixture.

us on Facebook and/or Instagram!

Thanks - Which wet-rated tile did you use and can you confirm the size tile on the floor vs the wall (I've seen various answers to the tile size in this particular shower)? Was it honed instead of polished to help the traction?

The tile on the shower walls and shower ceiling are 12" x 24" Calcatta which were pre-cut into 4" x 24" planks at the factory. The
flooring inside the shower and inside the main bathroom are the full 12"
x 24" tiles. A honed finish will give more traction, but again, confirm with your tile manufacturer or provider to be sure your desired tile and finish is acceptable in wet locations.

-dSPACE

Thanks so much for your response. Just one more question if you don't mind: what is the length of the entire wall that the shower and toilet room door is on?

Hello again. The dimension of the toilet room and shower to the edge of the image is about 11'-2".

-dSPACE

You did a great job and thank you for taking the time to answer my question. i appreciate it.

Thank you for appreciating our work!

This is bathroom looks so amazing. I love the modern and elegant look to it. I love how the shower is enclosed in the wall. Do you know how thick the glass of the shower door is? http://www.parkglass.com/services

Hi Penelope,

Thank you so much for your kind words!

It is a 1/2'' thick glass door.

I took a sample of it today. Looks lighter than your picture. How man coats was used? Thanks !

Hi Vicki. Paint color will vary in different lighting conditions. For instance, LED lights can alter the perception of the paint color when compared to natural light or even fluorescent light. If possible, test various coat applications on a sample piece of cabinetry or wood. Typically cabinetry will have at least one coat of primer, and at least two coats of paint. If you plan on doing a DIY, this article may be of some help:

https://www.houzz.com/magazine/from-the-pros-how-to-paint-kitchen-cabinets-stsetivw-vs~4415504

Hi - thanks for the reply. How about the aluminum channel installation? How was that achieved? Just a space left by the tiler?

Hi- Thanks noticing the details on the LED Shower light Cove. The LED tape was installed in an aluminum channel with an acrylic lens from Luminii Inc. Their website is www.luminii.com One very important note, since this is a shower it requires the wet-location rated LED tape which is embedded in a resin coating.

The gap at the back wall of the shower is 3 inches because the electrician needs to be able to install the LED and channel 8” high into the light pocket. For the best aesthetic, try and make the gap as small as possible while keeping in mind a human hand is going to install it. Your electrician will be challenged if there isn't enough room to install the fixture.

One final suggestion: always be sure your light cove is painted or tiled in a white finish. The light will reflect best from a white light pocket and ensuring the desired aesthetic. Good luck with your project!

Love this bathroom! What size are the shower floor and ceiling tiles?

Hello and thank you! The floor tiles are 12x24 and we created a custom cut 4x24 tiles out of the same material for the shower walls. We hope this helps and good luck with your project.

Hello, and thank you for your question and the wonderful compliment! Good eye, the sconces are a halogen lamp and thus have a slightly warmer color temperature. All the remaining fixtures are LED with a 29k color temperature. It should be noted if you plan to use LED in a shower, you should specify wet location LED's. We hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for your question. What you see in the shower is a Kohler DTV control system which integrates water, sound, light, and steam into one system. Please keep in mind, a control system like this requires an access panel on the backside of that wall for service and maintenance. However, there are less buttons and switches on your shower wall for a cleaner look. We hope this helps and good luck with your project!

Could you share the height of the room? Height of shower? The look of the spaces you create is phenomenal...thanks for sharing tips!

Ditta: This is a custom made shower door handle. Called a "ladder pull" style. I recommend Portals company for this style of handle. dSPACE recommends keeping the handle diameter under 3/4" to keep proper proportions. One last recommendation is to select a 16" tall handle for a nice upgrade to standard 8" and 12" lengths - the 16" makes it easier for people of different heights to use the pull. Last, and final, thought - this handle is our favorite design for showers because it looks fantastic and it is extremely functional by doubling as a towel hook. Simply hang your bath towel on the outside of the handle when showering and it is waiting right there after your shower. - dSPACE Studio - Chicago.

First Impressions International makes custom handles and provides an array of standard handles.

Thank you for the compliment! The glass wall floats in front of the shower seat and there is a gap of approx 1/2" between the two to allow for the shower glass to be separate from the shower seat. However, the shower seat is attached to the wall on the back and the other side. The side attachment adds some additional stability to the seat, but the primary support is cantilevered from the back as you suspected and the seat attaches to steel supports inside the wall. Thank you for the question and good luck with your project!

Hello,

The cabinet color is Benjamin Moore Kendall Charchoal HC-166.

-dSPACE

Thanks for your questions. The glass is ½” tempered glass with polished edges. The pull is an 18” ladder style pull, ¾” diameter with polished nickel finish. The hinges are glass to header & curb mounted pivot hinges. Both are from C.R. Laurence. Good luck with your project!

Hello, and thank you for your questions. We typically used a honed finish on floor applications in wet areas, and it depends on the material we specify. Some porcelain tiles, for instance, have various finishes with specific slip rating coefficients which indicate where it can be used. So just be sure to check the with the manufacturer to be sure you can used the finish you like in a shower or wet area.

Yes, the curb is one solid piece of 3/4" Carrara marble. The tile installer should be able to assist you with what type of grout to use depending on the application. Good luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question! The Calcatta you see in this image is from Stone Source here in Chicago. Since this is a natural stone, the veining will differ depending on the location of the quarry and where it is sourced from. Sometimes you can get a very 'veiny' sample and a very 'white' sample, it just depends on the batch of stone from the supplier. If possible, try to see the slab in person so you can get a sense of how grey or veiny the stone is. We hope this helps, and good luck with your project.

Hello, and thank you for your question! Marble is a porous material and will absorb moisture if it's not sealed. If you select marble for your shower, be sure to look at the sealer recommendations from the tile manufacturer to preserve the tile as long as possible. Some manufactures may require a sealant to be applied every year.

We like to specify porcelain tile in showers because it is far less porous. But the decision is up to you! Try researching a few different products or ask your tile installer/supplier in you area. We hope this helps and best of luck with your project!

Hello, and thank you for your question! We used a Calcatta marble in this master bathroom to match the consistency of the material palette of the rest of the home which makes this bathroom feel

Hello, and thank you for your question! We used Calcatta marble for all three locations in this bathroom and we
feel that consistency in a material palette makes a bathroom feel
timeless and serene. We don't worry about being matchy-matchy at all in
bathrooms, in fact we feel that too many materials can lead to a busy
and cluttered palette. However, we do love to mix up the tile sizes
within the same material and in this bathroom we used 12x24 tiles on the
floors and custom cut 4x24 plank tiles on the walls of the shower for
visual interest. We hope this helps; good luck with your project.

Hello, and thank you for an excellent question! You'll notice there are two types of lighting in the shower. The first is a LED cove along the back side of the shower, and the second is two recessed lights to the left of the rain heads.

The LED
tape was installed in an aluminum channel with an acrylic lens from
Luminii. The most important note is since this is a shower, it requires the wet location rated LED tape which
is embedded in a resin silicone coating.
The gap at the back wall of the shower is 3 inches wide because the
electrician needs to be able to install the LED and channel 8” high into
the light pocket. For the best aesthetic, try and make the gap as small
as possible while keeping in mind a human hand is going to install it.
Your electrician will be challenged if there isn't enough room to
install the fixture.


The two recessed lights are also rated for showers and wet locations. Try researching CSL, Halo/Cooper or Bega products. Keep in mind some of these products are LED and some are MR-16 bulbs, so be sure to match the color temperature if you are using a LED strip light in a cove and a LED recessed light. We hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for your question! The tile in this shower is
porcelain and must be adhered properly. While this is a wet location and
differs from your foyer, the same basic installation principles can be
applied when tiling a ceiling. However, we always recommend seeking a
local professional for such an installation for a safe and proper
application. A local professional may screw a substrate material
to the ceiling and apply a layer of thin set to adhere the tile to the
substrate. There are different types of thin set, as well as modified
and unmodified thin set, so seeking a local professional is always the
best and safest idea. They will be able to recommend the best process per your application. Keep in mind, waterproofing will be necessary if
the application is in a wet location, such as a shower. Finally the
installer would grout the tile and clean the surface, allowing the proper drying time per the manufacture's instructions.

You can use the 'Find Pros' tab here on Houzz to assist you with finding an installer. Best of luck with your project. Be sure to check out our website for more award-winning designs at dspacestudio.com, and like us on Facebook!

Hello and thank you for your question. This is indeed an tricky
situation as one must account for enough steel and concrete to
accommodate the weight of a person sitting on the cantilevered bench. Behind the wall, we added a large structural steel beam
to account for the overturning force due to added weight on the bench. We
used is 3/4" thick marble with a steel support pan underneath to hold the
mortar. This is what holds the bench in place and gives the appearance of a
clean edge underneath. An engineer should be able to assist you for
further development. Good luck with your project!

Great
question. dSPACE designed this shower to be fully tiled including the
ceiling. The tile backer board substrate is fully coated with the liquid
applied membrane. Our client loves their shower and the steam is perfect
inside. A minimalist slot-type bathroom exhaust vent is located just
outside the shower door with an in-line Panasonic fan located remotely (for
less noise and better aesthetics with hidden fan). Because this house is
extremely well insulated, it is best to run the bath exhaust fan for 30 minutes
every time the shower is used to keep the humidity levels stable. Thanks for
the good question!

Hello and thank you for your questions. Both the base trim and crown molding are painted wood- no faux finishes here. What you may be seeing is dappled light from the chandelier reflecting off the ceiling. Good observation, the baseboard is a custom height of 11", and the crown is 6". Thanks for the compliment and good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for your question. This is indeed an tricky situation and one must account for enough steel and concrete to accommodate the weight of a person sitting on the bench. We installed steel beams in the walls to support the cantilevered steel bench frame. The bench is attached on two sides and floating on the other two sides.

The marble we used is 3/4" thick with a steel support pan underneath to hold the mortar. This is what holds the bench in place and gives the appearance of a clean edge underneath. An engineer should be able to assist you for further development. Good luck with your project!

Hello and thank you for your question! We always recommend using paint, rather than wallpaper, specifically for high moisture and damp areas. Typically we suggest Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa Waterborne Interior Paint. Wallpaper is difficult to maintain in a smaller, humid room such as a bathroom. Hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

Hi, thank you for your question and your interest in dSPACE Studio. We custom designed the ceiling inspired by French and Italian villas. The center of the ceiling is an oval infill with 12x12 mirrors with beveled edges - these are then surrounded by plaster detailing. Surrounding the center mirror is 5/8" drywall which is stepped back with a "z bead" edge for a crisp line. The chandelier is from Filsinger Showroom in Chicago with a polished nickel finish.

This is a custom installed shower, so there is no unit to purchase for this shower. This shower doesn't have a steam unit installed, however steam equipment is typically kept in a nearby closet and piped to the shower. This shower does have a Kohler DTV control system which requires an access panel on the backside of that wall. Thanks for your question and good luck with your project.

The light strip at the back of the shower is a line of LED tape installed high in a narrow cove so that the light grazes down the wall. LED tape is a great product because of its small size, and the fact that it can often be cut to length by the electrician in the field. We recommend installing LED tape in an aluminum channel to help keep the line of light straight, and in a shower its important that the product be appropriate for wet locations. Thank you for your question and good luck with your project!

The full length of the wall is 15'-9", with the shower opening centered on the wall (there is a linen closet door that mirrors the door to the toilet room on the other side of the shower opening). The shower is 5'-6" long and 4'-6" deep. Good Luck with your project!

The tiles on the shower walls and shower ceiling are 12" x 24" Calcatta tiles that were pre-cut into 4" x 24" planks at the factory. The flooring inside the shower and inside the main bathroom are the full 12" x 24" tiles for a change of scale at the floor. Thanks for the question and good luck with your project!

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.

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!

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.
