Inspiration for a contemporary bathroom remodel in Milwaukee

The Council Crest Residence is a renovation and addition to an early 1950s house built for inventor Karl Kurz, whose work included stereoscopic cameras and projectors. Designed by prominent local architect Roscoe Hemenway, the house was built with a traditional ranch exterior and a mid-century modern interior. It became known as “The View-Master House,” alluding to both the inventions of its owner and the dramatic view through the glass entry.
Approached from a small neighborhood park, the home was re-clad maintaining its welcoming scale, with privacy obtained through thoughtful placement of translucent glass, clerestory windows, and a stone screen wall. The original entry was maintained as a glass aperture, a threshold between the quiet residential neighborhood and the dramatic view over the city of Portland and landscape beyond. At the south terrace, an outdoor fireplace is integrated into the stone wall providing a comfortable space for the family and their guests.
Within the existing footprint, the main floor living spaces were completely remodeled. Raised ceilings and new windows create open, light filled spaces. An upper floor was added within the original profile creating a master suite, study, and south facing deck. Space flows freely around a central core while continuous clerestory windows reinforce the sense of openness and expansion as the roof and wall planes extend to the exterior.

Master suite remodel by Kaufman Construction, Inc.
About this Project: The Thompsons wanted a luxurious spa-style master suite and working with Kaufman Construction they were able to realize their vision. A sitting room adjacent to the master bedroom was converted to the closet in order to expand the show into the previous master closet and a large deck mounted tub was removed from a unique, yet underutilized alcove and replaced with a gorgeous free-standing soaking tub. Stark white and green finishes were replaced with warm luxurious materials. The result is a retreat bathed in maple, walnut, porcelain and chrome. The comfort extends to the master bedroom and closet in which trim and floor coverings were replaced and walls and ceilings were given a fresh coat of earth-tone paint.
