This master bathroom renovation transforms a builder-grade standard into a personalized retreat for our lovely Stapleton clients. Recognizing a need for change, our clients called on us to help develop a space that would capture their aesthetic loves and foster relaxation. Our design focused on establishing an airy and grounded feel by pairing various shades of white, natural wood, and dynamic textures. We replaced the existing ceramic floor tile with wood-look porcelain tile for a warm and inviting look throughout the space. We then paired this with a reclaimed apothecary vanity from Restoration Hardware. This vanity is coupled with a bright Caesarstone countertop and warm bronze faucets from Delta to create a strikingly handsome balance. The vanity mirrors are custom-sized and trimmed with a coordinating bronze frame. Elegant wall sconces dance between the dark vanity mirrors and bright white full height mirrors flanking the bathtub. The tub itself is an oversized freestanding bathtub paired with a tall bronze tub filler. We've created a feature wall with Tile Bar's Billowy Clouds ceramic tile floor to ceiling behind the tub. The wave-like movement of the tiles offers a dramatic texture in a pure white field. We removed the existing shower and extended its depth to create a large new shower. The walls are tiled with a large format high gloss white tile. The shower floor is tiled with marble circles in varying sizes that offer a playful aesthetic in an otherwise minimalist space. We love this pure, airy retreat and are thrilled that our clients get to enjoy it for many years to come!

In the heart of Point Loma, where the sea breeze dances through the streets and the sound of seagulls fills the air, your home stood as a testament to history and potential. Nestled within this coastal community, your house underwent a transformation that breathed new life into its tired bones. The journey began with dreams and blueprints, where you envisioned the perfect space to call home. Collaborating with architects and designers, you crafted plans that honored the neighborhood's character while infusing modern comforts and style. Perhaps you imagined expansive windows framing panoramic ocean views or a seamless indoor-outdoor living space where the line between inside and outside blurred. As the project gained momentum, the house underwent a metamorphosis. Walls were torn down, revealing the raw canvas upon which your vision would unfold. Skilled craftsmen meticulously shaped each detail, from the sturdy frame to the delicate finishes. Perhaps you opted for reclaimed wood flooring to add warmth and character, or custom cabinetry that married form and function seamlessly. Throughout the process, you navigated the challenges and triumphs of renovation, each step bringing you closer to the realization of your dream home. From selecting the perfect shade of paint to choosing fixtures that spoke to your aesthetic, every decision was a brushstroke on the canvas of your life. And finally, the day arrived when the last nail was hammered, the final coat of paint applied, and your home stood ready to welcome you with open arms. As you crossed the threshold, a sense of pride and accomplishment washed over you, knowing that this space was a reflection of your vision and perseverance. Now, as you bask in the comfort of your newly remodeled home, you savor the moments spent with loved ones, the laughter that fills the rooms, and the memories waiting to be made. In the heart of Point Loma, your house stands as more than just a structure—it's a sanctuary, a testament to the beauty of transformation and the power of possibility.

Native sages and Mediterranean wild mints and lavenders dance together under a canopy of palo verde, citrus and strawberry trees. Jasmine, bougainvillea, figs, olives and a sizable vegetable garden and orchard round out the planting profile. Not to mention the ultra low-water NO-MOW lawn. Used regularly for dogs & soccer.

This busy executive with refined tastes requested a luxurious space with low-maintenance materials. The existing bathroom was efficient, but decades of wear and tear had taken its toll on the 1980's builder-grade finishes and fixtures. To maximize shower space, the tub was removed and a pony wall was added to separate the vanity and shower. The half-wall created space for a hidden niche for personal products. The new custom vanity included roll-outs, a common feature in kitchen cabinets but also useful in bath. Photographer: Spencer Toy

This 30 foot water basin could easily be a swimming pool. It is aligned with the house as a natural extension of the indoors to the outdoors. When you enter the house by the front door the water feature is the visual focal point framed by a long central corridor. Also it is placed so that during the day the sun's rays reflect off the pond surface and dance on the ceiling of the master bedroom. The blue grey slate is a local material and contributes to the sparkling qualities of the moving water.
