We completely transformed a traditional Brooklyn bathroom at 2363 E 18th St. into a modern, spa-inspired sanctuary. The full-gut overhaul replaced dated arches and pink wall tiles with sleek Porcelanosa large-format porcelain tiling, a curbless glass walk-in shower with dual rain and handheld showerheads, an Infinity linear drain, and a custom shampoo ledge. High-end upgrades include a floating wood-grain vanity topped with Caesarstone Raven quartz, dual recessed Robern medicine cabinets with chrome sconce lighting, an ambient under-vanity LED nightlight, heated flooring, and a TOTO Neorest dual-flush bidet toilet. Complete with fresh plumbing and electrical rerouting, recessed ceiling fixtures, and an insulated frosted glass window, this project blends clean contemporary design with maximum everyday comfort.

When a husband and wife team of professional botanists wanted to remodel their cramped, 1980s-era bathroom, we naturally looked to the forest for inspiration! With the expert help of Elite Construction Services Inc., we opened up this formerly segmented space (the toilet and washer/dryer were in a separate area from the shower/tub and vanity) to make it feel larger. A controlled, muted color scheme further enlarges the room by connecting all the planes, and serves as a neutral backdrop for a calming spa experience. All the materials speak to my clients’ love of nature. The custom wood vanity with tower and coordinating mirror frame are made so the grain lays in a refreshing horizontal pattern. The porcelain field tile is made to look like limestone with shadows of sediment and fossils. Other elements add to the feeling of a walk in the woods: long-format porcelain tiles of falling leaves cascade down a wall and blend into a stream of river stones that roll across the width of the space. The open, curbless shower with a hidden linear drain invites users for a cleansing respite. Sleek, modern fixtures and a wall-hung toilet enhance the clean, soothing look of this organic, tranquil bathroom. Photo: Genia Barnes

Warm, Natural & Quietly Luxurious — Primary Bathroom Remodel | Raleigh, NC This primary bathroom remodel is a masterclass in restraint. No loud statements, no trend-chasing — just a beautifully considered combination of natural materials, soft color, and hardware that ties it all together. The result feels like a boutique hotel bathroom that also happens to feel completely personal. The vanity is the anchor of the space. Custom white oak cabinetry in a warm, medium-toned stain brings natural grain and texture to the room without competing with anything around it. Brushed brass hardware — bar pulls with decorative rosette ends — reads elevated without being fussy. White quartz countertops with soft veining sit cleanly above, and a large arched black-framed mirror grounds the wall in a shape that echoes the soft, organic tone of the whole room. Flanking the mirror, a pair of sage green and gold wall sconces add a layer of unexpected color that feels completely right — designer without being obvious. The shower is where this project truly shines. Floor-to-ceiling sea glass green linear tile wraps every wall in a luminous, slightly irregular pattern that catches light beautifully. Brushed brass fixtures — a hand shower, slide bar, grab bars, and frameless sliding door hardware — run throughout, keeping the palette tight. Two built-in niches lined with arabesque marble mosaic tile provide both function and a moment of pattern within the serene field of green. A quartz bench seat and large-format floor tile with a center drain complete the enclosure with the same calm intentionality found everywhere else. Live-edge floating shelves in rich, burl-patterned wood add warmth to the open wall space, styled with a mix of black iron candleholders, organic wooden objects, and natural accessories. Every detail — down to the wooden tray and hand-thrown vase on the vanity — was chosen to feel grounded, tactile, and lived-in.

Beach Grove Social transforms a dated 3-bed, 2.5-bath into a modern, moody home made for entertaining. Vaulted cedar ceilings and triangular clerestories bathe white oak and graphite finishes in soft light, while a linear hearth anchors the open living–dining core. The reimagined kitchen hides the daily clutter with a concealed appliance garage and a grain-matched door to the laundry, keeping surfaces calm. Full-width sliders dissolve the boundary to a terrace designed for gatherings. Three new bathrooms—each tailored to its user—pair refined materials with serene lighting to deliver sophisticated, restorative spaces.

A new custom residence in the Harrison Views neighborhood of Issaquah Highlands. The home incorporates high-performance envelope elements (a few of the strategies so far include alum-clad windows, rock wall house wrap insulation, green-roofs and provision for photovoltaic panels). The building site has a unique upper bench and lower bench with a steep slope between them. The siting of the house takes advantage of this topography, creating a linear datum line that not only serves as a retaining wall but also as an organizing element for the home’s circulation. The massing of the home is designed to maximize views, natural daylight and compliment the scale of the surrounding community. The living spaces are oriented to capture the panoramic views to the southwest and northwest, including Lake Washington and the Olympic mountain range as well as Seattle and Bellevue skylines. A series of green roofs and protected outdoor spaces will allow the homeowners to extend their living spaces year-round. With an emphasis on durability, the material palette will consist of a gray stained cedar siding, corten steel panels, cement board siding, T&G fir soffits, exposed wood beams, black fiberglass windows, board-formed concrete, glass railings and a standing seam metal roof. A careful site analysis was done early on to suss out the best views and determine how unbuilt adjacent lots might be developed. The total area is 3,425 SF of living space plus 575 SF for the garage.
