Hayden Estate Spa: The DTV Digital Command Center & Total Hydrotherapy This close-up perspective dives into the high-tech core of the en-suite’s 18-head steam suite. This view demonstrates the sophisticated integration required to pull off a private, residential spa. By utilizing a central Kohler DTV digital command center, we provided the homeowner with total, computerized control over their hydrotherapy, steam, and environmental settings in one seamless, wall-mounted interface. Advanced Technical & Design Specs: DTV Digital Interface: This wall-mounted, computerized controller is the hub of the entire system. It orchestrates water temperature, flow, steam duration, integrated lighting, and the Bluetooth Polk Audio soundscape, all from a user-friendly digital display. 18-Outlet Command Matrix: The system manages an expansive array of 18 total water sources, including the visible column of high-pressure wall-mounted massaging body sprayers. Note the precision vertical alignment, engineered to provide a customizable full-body massage. Racing-Grade Steam Suite: This view highlights the steam-tight glass enclosure, essential for maintaining the custom "racing-grade" steam generator's efficiency. The deep, radius-cornered LED-lit shampoo niche adds functionality while proving that technical spaces don’t sacrifice artisan finish. Integrated Precision Lighting: The subtle linear LED lighting in the recessed niche and the computerized ambient light settings controlled by the DTV panel ensure the perfect atmosphere, from an energizing morning shower to a relaxing evening steam. Material Integrity: The large-format Italian porcelain tile flows directly into the shower floor over the thermostat-controlled radiant heating system, providing a "cold-spot-free" transition into the hydrotherapy zone.

Hayden Master Spa: 18-Head Digital Hydrotherapy & Total Sensory Wellness This master en-suite in Hayden, Idaho, is a masterclass in high-tech wellness and custom engineering. We moved beyond standard luxury to create a "Total Immersion" environment, centered around a massive, custom-tiled steam suite that functions as a private residential spa. This project demonstrates our ability to integrate complex computerized systems with high-end architectural finishes. The Ultimate Spa Features: 18-Head Digital Shower Matrix: The heart of the suite is a Kohler DTV digital interface, controlling a massive array of 18 total water outlets. This includes a ceiling-mounted rainforest head, high-pressure wall-mounted massaging body sprayers, and precision handshowers—all programmable for a customized hydrotherapy experience. Polk Audio Soundscape: To create a truly immersive atmosphere, we integrated a high-fidelity Polk Audio sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. These moisture-resistant, marine-grade speakers are built directly into the shower architecture, providing crisp, studio-quality audio. Integrated Towel Warmer: For the ultimate post-shower experience, we installed a professional-grade towel warmer. This feature ensures that the spa feeling doesn't end when the water stops, providing perfectly heated towels that complement the overall warmth of the room. Intelligent Thermal Control: Beneath the large-format Italian porcelain tile, we installed a thermostat-controlled radiant heating system. This provides invisible, consistent warmth that extends from the vanity area directly into the shower floor. Artisan Custom Cabinetry: The technical complexity is balanced by furniture-grade custom cabinetry featuring matching vertical storage towers and LED-lit mirrors with integrated magnification for perfect task lighting. Freestanding Air Tub: The en-suite is rounded out with a luxury air therapy tub and a precision floor-mounted Kohler filler, perfectly positioned for a quiet retreat.

The goal of this project was to upgrade the builder grade finishes and create an ergonomic space that had a contemporary feel. This bathroom transformed from a standard, builder grade bathroom to a contemporary urban oasis. This was one of my favorite projects, I know I say that about most of my projects but this one really took an amazing transformation. By removing the walls surrounding the shower and relocating the toilet it visually opened up the space. Creating a deeper shower allowed for the tub to be incorporated into the wet area. Adding a LED panel in the back of the shower gave the illusion of a depth and created a unique storage ledge. A custom vanity keeps a clean front with different storage options and linear limestone draws the eye towards the stacked stone accent wall. Houzz Write Up: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/inside-houzz-a-chopped-up-bathroom-goes-streamlined-and-swank-stsetivw-vs~27263720 The layout of this bathroom was opened up to get rid of the hallway effect, being only 7 foot wide, this bathroom needed all the width it could muster. Using light flooring in the form of natural lime stone 12x24 tiles with a linear pattern, it really draws the eye down the length of the room which is what we needed. Then, breaking up the space a little with the stone pebble flooring in the shower, this client enjoyed his time living in Japan and wanted to incorporate some of the elements that he appreciated while living there. The dark stacked stone feature wall behind the tub is the perfect backdrop for the LED panel, giving the illusion of a window and also creates a cool storage shelf for the tub. A narrow, but tasteful, oval freestanding tub fit effortlessly in the back of the shower. With a sloped floor, ensuring no standing water either in the shower floor or behind the tub, every thought went into engineering this Atlanta bathroom to last the test of time. With now adequate space in the shower, there was space for adjacent shower heads controlled by Kohler digital valves. A hand wand was added for use and convenience of cleaning as well. On the vanity are semi-vessel sinks which give the appearance of vessel sinks, but with the added benefit of a deeper, rounded basin to avoid splashing. Wall mounted faucets add sophistication as well as less cleaning maintenance over time. The custom vanity is streamlined with drawers, doors and a pull out for a can or hamper. A wonderful project and equally wonderful client. I really enjoyed working with this client and the creative direction of this project.

In the kitchen, the feeling is light and airy, thanks to a soft color palette and open shelving. Rather than create a massive center island, Kiel applied his handy work to an array of inexpensive materials, resulting in an island work table with open shelving. By keeping sight lines open down below, the kitchen gains a greater feeling of space.

Artisan Ironwork Detail: The Statement Guardrail When the details are this intentional, they become the focal point of the home. This close-up highlights the ornate wrought-iron scrollwork that serves as both a safety feature and a piece of functional art. The contrast between the heavy-gauge, dark metal and the warm, golden tones of the hand-finished wood newels creates a sophisticated, high-contrast aesthetic. Design Highlights: Custom Geometric Scrolls: A rhythmic pattern of overlapping circles and traditional "S" scrolls that adds movement and visual interest to the corridor. Precision Joinery: The seamless integration of the iron panels into the substantial timber posts showcases the level of craftsmanship expected in estate-level custom homes. Texture & Contrast: The matte finish of the metal beautifully offsets the natural grain and luster of the stained wood, grounding the space in a "modern rustic" luxury style.

Custom Knotty Alder Daughter's Suite: Integrated Storage & Home Tech We designed this daughter's bedroom as a fully unified sanctuary, leveraging intricate, hand-finished millwork to create a seamless living and media hub. By strictly utilizing the same custom Knotty Alder found throughout the entire Hayden estate, we ensured the secondary rooms deliver the identical "no-expense-spared" standard as the primary master suite. Artisan Features & Construction Excellence: Complete Knotty Alder Media Wall: The centerpiece of the room is a comprehensive Knotty Alder built-in system. This isn't just cabinetry; it's a structural element designed to define the room’s function, showcasing the natural, rustic texture that balances the home’s modern technology. Integrated Media Console: The lower cabinetry features a dedicated media console with open component shelving and concealable storage drawers. We engineered the console to support a integrated smart TV (note the kitchen construction detail on the screen!), seamlessly hiding all wiring behind the precision panel work. High-Capacity Floor-to-Ceiling Storage: Flanking the media zone are massive linen towers and wardrobes, providing sophisticated, long-term organization. Every door and drawer utilizes furniture-grade joinery and substantial, traditional hardware to match the luxury aesthetic of the home's plumbing. Unified Architectural Details: We extended the Knotty Alder into substantial architectural casings, framing the expansive window/slider and tying the room into the surrounding Idaho landscape. This continuity of material creates a sophisticated, "Mountain Modern" environment throughout the entire residence. Technical Flow: Note the complex integration of the built-ins into the room’s geometry, including the perfectly fit baseboard trim. This level of finish work demonstrates our capability to manage complex millwork installations as effectively as our advanced Kohler hydrotherapy systems.

Artisan Masonry: Precision Tile & Textural Contrast This view of the daughter’s bathroom highlights the high-end stone integration that defines the entire Hayden estate. We approached this shower not just as a utility, but as a showcase for large-format Italian porcelain and technical tile transitions. The result is a clean, sophisticated environment that balances modern durability with classic "Inland Northwest" textures. Craftsmanship & Technical Details: Large-Format Stone Integration: We utilized expansive Italian porcelain body tiles to create a monolithic, seamless look. This requires expert layout and substrate preparation to ensure the veining and texture flow naturally across the vertical surfaces. Recessed Architectural Niche: A signature detail of our custom builds is the integrated shampoo niche. Note the precision mitered edges and the mosaic tile backset, which provides a subtle textural contrast to the smooth field tile while offering durable, high-end functionality. Professional Oil-Rubbed Fixtures: The dark, high-contrast hardware provides a bold architectural accent against the grey-toned stone. This high-flow showerhead and pressure-balanced valve system are engineered for long-term reliability in a busy family home. Textural Balance: The cool, organic tones of the masonry are warmed by the surrounding Knotty Alder casings, creating a cohesive design language that ties this suite into the rest of the home's "Mountain Modern" aesthetic. Heavy-Duty Frameless Glass: To keep the focus on the intricate tile work and the recessed niche, we utilized a custom-cut, heavy-gauge frameless glass enclosure, ensuring the space feels open and high-end.

The combination of the custom woodwork and the professional heating technology is exactly what luxury clients look for on Houzz. Master Spa Artisan Details: Custom Storage & Thermal Comfort This perspective showcases the thoughtful, "Creative and Expensive" details that transform a master bathroom into a high-performance wellness sanctuary. By integrating specialized Knotty Alder millwork with professional-grade warming technology, we ensured that every element of the post-shower routine is as luxurious as the 18-head hydrotherapy experience itself. Artisan Features & Thermal Engineering: Custom Towel Command Center: We designed this floor-to-ceiling Knotty Alder cabinet with a specialized upper cubby grid. These 12 individual cubicles provide a clean, organized, and "boutique spa" feel for rolled towels, keeping them within arm's reach of the soaking tub. Professional Towel Warmer: To the right of the wood-cased window, we installed a high-efficiency hydronic towel warmer in a crisp white finish. This ensures a consistent "warm wrap" experience, bridging the gap between the heated water and the climate-controlled room. Integrated Warmth: The entire space is anchored by a thermostat-controlled radiant floor heating system installed beneath the Italian porcelain body tile. This provides invisible, consistent heat that keeps the large-format tile at a comfortable temperature year-round. Knotty Alder Window Casings: The thick, hand-finished wood trim frames the serene Hayden landscape, grounding the modern heating tech with the organic, rustic textures that define the Inland Northwest style. Functional Sophistication: The lower Shaker-style cabinet doors feature heavy-duty hardware and furniture-grade joinery, proving that even the most functional storage in a high-end estate should be built to an artisan standard.

Exotic Guest Suite: Italian Stonework & High-Flow Waterfalls This guest bathroom serves as a bold design destination, featuring a level of finish typically reserved for a primary suite. The focus here is on clean, vertical lines and a minimalist aesthetic that relies on high-quality materials and professional-grade engineering. Advanced Technical & Design Details: Floating Italian Vessel Sink: The centerpiece of the vanity area is a free-hanging Italian sink, offering a sleek, contemporary profile. This floating installation maximizes the floor-to-ceiling tile impact while providing a high-capacity, low-maintenance basin for guests. Wall-Mounted Waterfall Faucet: To maintain the minimalist aesthetic, we engineered a precision wall-mounted faucet with a waterfall flow. Integrating the plumbing directly into the tile wall requires exact rough-in measurements and specialized structural backing, resulting in a seamless, high-end water delivery system. Floor-to-Ceiling Decorative Porcelain: The vanity is anchored by a stunning full-height accent wall. We utilized a dark, linear-textured porcelain tile that runs from floor to ceiling, providing a sophisticated backdrop that highlights the chrome fixtures and the glow of the integrated lighting. Precision LED-Lit Mirror: The space is illuminated by a high-definition LED-lit perimeter mirror. This "Maier" inspired lighting provides shadow-free, 360-degree task lighting while adding a floating, ethereal quality to the vanity wall. Seamless Stone Integration: Note the precision of the tile cutouts for the wall-mounted plumbing and the mirror's electrical driver. This level of finish demonstrates our commitment to artisan-level execution on every surface of the home.

Rustic Elegance: Custom Staircase & Loft Gallery This perspective showcases a masterful blend of traditional warmth and artisan metalwork. The transition from the living area to the lower level is defined by robust, custom-milled wood newel posts with a rich natural finish, perfectly anchoring the intricate wrought-iron scrollwork balustrade. The design creates an open, airy feel while maintaining the home’s rustic character, complemented by wide-plank flooring and clean architectural lines.
