Award winning contemporary bathroom for the 2018 Design Awards by Westchester Home Magazine, this master bath project was a collaboration between Scott Hirshson, AIA of Hirshson ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN and Rita Garces, Senior Designer of Bilotta Kitchens of NY. The client had two primary objectives. First and foremost, they wanted a calm, serene environment, balancing clean lines with quiet stone and soft colored cabinets. The design team opted for a washed oak, wood-like laminate in a flat panel with a horizontal grain, a softer palette than plain white yet still just as bright. Secondly, since they have always used the bathtub every day, the most important selection was the soaking tub and positioning it to maximize space and view to the surrounding trees. With the windows surrounding the tub, the peacefulness of the outside really envelops you in to further the spa-like environment. For the sinks and faucetry the team opted for the Sigma Collection from Klaffs. They decided on a brushed finish to not overpower the soft, matte finish of the cabinetry. For the hardware from Du Verre, they selected a dark finish to complement the black iron window frames (which is repeated throughout the house) and then continued that color in the decorative lighting fixtures. For the countertops and flooring Rita and Scott met with Artistic Tile to control the variability of the Dolomite lot for both the cut stone and slab materials. Photography by Stefan Radtke.

In Katy, Texas, Tradition Outdoor Living designed an outdoor living space, transforming the average backyard into a Texas Ranch-style retreat. Entering this outdoor addition, the scene boasts Texan Ranch with custom made cedar Barn-style doors creatively encasing the recessed TV above the fireplace. Maintaining the appeal of the doors, the fireplace cedar mantel is adorned with accent rustic hardware. The 60” electric fireplace, remote controlled with LED lights, flickers warm colors for a serene evening on the patio. An extended hearth continues along the perimeter of living room, creating bench seating for all. This combination of Rustic Taloka stack stone, from the fireplace and columns, and the polished Verano stone, capping the hearth and columns, perfectly pairs together enhancing the feel of this outdoor living room. The cedar-trimmed coffered beams in the tongue and groove ceiling and the wood planked stamped concrete make this space even more unique! In the large Outdoor Kitchen, beautifully polished New Venetian Gold granite countertops allow the chef plenty of space for serving food and chatting with guests at the bar. The stainless steel appliances sparkle in the evening while the custom, color-changing LED lighting glows underneath the kitchen granite. In the cooler months, this outdoor space is wired for electric radiant heat. And if anyone is up for a night of camping at the ranch, this outdoor living space is ready and complete with an outdoor bathroom addition! Photo Credit: Jennifer Sue Photography

Transforming a client's dream into reality is always an exhilarating journey, especially when it involves creating a luxurious BBQ kitchen that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of a lakefront view. Xpand's design blended with the homeowner's vision: a year-round culinary haven where one could grill to their heart's content while soaking in the serene landscape. The transformation of the screen porch into a stone and tile sanctuary, complete with state-of-the-art air exchange and climate control systems ensures a smoke-free environment. The installation of custom Dekton countertops and Twin Eagles grilling and smoking appliances elevates the space, making it not just functional but also a statement of elegance. The 12' glass garage door with a motorized screen, invites the outdoors in, creating an immersive experience. Descending to the lower level, the wellness center awaits as a haven of relaxation. The custom-built sauna, with its warm cedar interior and soothing LED lighting, promises a tranquil escape. Adjacent to it, the large cold plunge tub stands ready to invigorate and contribute to a holistic wellness routine. Whether seeking warmth in the embrace of the sauna or the refreshing chill of the tub, this space is a testament to the art of living well, a perfect complement to its idyllic setting on Prior Lake!

Set the stage for the ultimate in relaxation! Taking center stage in this primary bath is the inviting soaking tub, set on a marble platform, where LED lighting under the platform’s front edge makes it appear to float. The room exudes luxury with the marble tub surround, countertops, and floors. Most designers would defer to the default choice of placing the tub parallel to the window, directly in the middle. The creative departure here was twofold: the tub is angled so the bather can face the corner view; and a set of storage cabinets facing both outward into the room as well as toward the tub, establishes a unique asymmetrical arrangement. Faucet controls are conveniently located on an easy-to-reach marble ledge. Aside from the tub platform cabinets and handy countertop, additional storage is found in the sizable double vanity on one side of the room containing an abundance of drawers. On the opposite wall is a grooming area (with more drawers!) featuring practical tri-view mirrors, allowing a 360 degree view of your finished look. Cabinetry enhances the serene environment with its light rift-cut white oak slab fronts. Unobtrusive finger pulls avoid distraction, while LED strip lighting is another sleek touch. This project was done in collaboration with Sarah Witkin, AIA of Bilotta Architecture and Liv Shannon Interiors. Photography by Stefan Radtke.

The large walk-in shower, designed as a "wet room," sits adjacent to the soaking tub, creating an open and cohesive space. Full-length windows overlook the pool cabana, offering views and natural light from both the tub and shower. To ensure privacy, interior shutters were installed that allow for adjustable light control, giving the homeowners flexibility while maintaining a relaxing atmosphere. If the bathroom had faced the front yard, we might have opted for higher windows or glass block to increase privacy. Safety was a top priority in the design, particularly in the shower. A curbless shower design eliminates tripping hazards, and small tiles were used on the floor to improve grip. The client also chose a textured pale green tile for the shower walls, adding a calming, soft touch to the overall design. To keep water contained in the wet room, we recommend glass panels with a door, though a floor-to-ceiling shower curtain on a ceiling track would also work well.

This shower close-up captures the calming luxury of a Mission Viejo bathroom remodel that blends elegance with function. Large-format porcelain tiles with a marble-inspired veining pattern lend a spa-like ambiance, while a frameless glass door with exposed roller hardware adds a touch of modern industrial design. The brushed nickel rain shower head and control system offer a sleek, contemporary contrast to the timeless tile backdrop. Frosted window panes allow natural light to fill the space while maintaining privacy, and double towel bars add practical, accessible storage. A soft floral art piece ties in the entire color palette, creating a bathroom that feels both peaceful and polished. Every element was selected to elevate the everyday experience into something beautifully relaxing.

Transforming the outdated traditional aesthetic of the family room into a retro minimalist oasis, this redesign prioritizes clean lines, sleek surfaces, and playful accents. The coffee table boasts a clever design while marrying solid American ash with tempered glass, exuding effortless sophistication. Complementing this centerpiece is a sectional sofa meticulously crafted for both comfort and style, featuring top-grain leather accents paired with performance fabric cushions, complete with a versatile moveable back mechanism. Enhancing the modern yet retro vibe are handcrafted glass vases in warm neutral tones, offering versatility in styling with fresh blooms or candles. Grounding the space is the carpet, an artistic portrayal of tranquility through fine loop textures and fluid colors, perfect for creating a serene sanctuary amidst the chaos of modern life. Vertical sheer window shades give light control and privacy throughout. This redesign harmonizes functionality with aesthetics, inviting family and guests into a space that effortlessly blends comfort, style, and nostalgia.
