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.

The bathroom was completely gutted, we removed a closet and built a larger shower. The enlarged shower features Moen vertical spa with multiples functions including a Hansgrohe shower head, ceiling-mount rain head and a hand-held on the bar. Storage features include a recessed niche with shelf and a floating corner seat. 12" glass mosaic feature strip that continues throughout the whole bathroom. Tile is 12" x 24" marble tile with offset pattern. 1" x 2" fabric tile adorns the floor. There is a ceiling heating lamp for warmth. Heavy clear glass frameless hinged door with brushed nickel trim. We installed two wall-mounted custom-made floating vanities with Granite countertops and Kohler vessel bowls in white with Moen wall-mounted faucets in brushed nickel. Flooring is 12" x 24" fabric floor tile in an offset pattern with perfectly heated floor. Controls are mounted by the vanity. A 6" platform take you to the freestanding tub with brushed nickel exterior with acrylic interior and a Moen floor mount free-standing tub faucet. Wall tile is half wall which matches the shower wall. Pocket door to enter bathroom and closet. http://www.melissamannphotography.com/

In every project we complete, design, form, function and safety are all important aspects to a successful space plan. For these homeowners, it was an absolute must. The family had some unique needs that needed to be addressed. As physical abilities continued to change, the accessibility and safety in their master bathroom was a significant concern. The layout of the bathroom was the first to change. We swapped places with the tub and vanity to give better access to both. A beautiful chrome grab bar was added along with matching towel bar and towel ring. The vanity was changed out and now featured an angled cut-out for easy access for a wheelchair to pull completely up to the sink while protecting knees and legs from exposed plumbing and looking gorgeous doing it. The toilet came out of the corner and we eliminated the privacy wall, giving it far easier access with a wheelchair. The original toilet was in great shape and we were able to reuse it. But now, it is equipped with much-needed chrome grab bars for added safety and convenience. The shower was moved and reconstructed to allow for a larger walk-in tile shower with stylish chrome grab bars, an adjustable handheld showerhead and a comfortable fold-down shower bench – proving a bathroom can (and should) be functionally safe AND aesthetically beautiful at the same time.

The custom vanity continues the spa-like theme, incorporating open spaces for baskets full of pampering supplies and towels. The open, custom-designed closet is convenient, but not obtrusive to the design. The doorless, arched entry is framed with more travertine stone. Glass shelves next to her side of the sink hold pretty bottles. The glass shelves are in a recessed nook, which takes the place of the old medicine cabinet and is decked out in yet more travertine stone. Finally, the owners got their wish for having room for a chair in the corner of their new "spa."

I was hired by my previous employer, Corvallis Custom Kitchens and Baths to assist these homeowners with all of the materials, fixtures and finish choices to complete this master bathroom remodel. Brian Egan, owner and designer at CCKB in Sept 2017, since retired), designed this aging-in-place, accessible shower (previously a shower and separate soaker tub) for the clients who reside in an over 55 community here in Corvallis. Large format 12x24 unpolished Crossville Kosmos Moonstruck tile was chosen for the bathroom floor and the shower walls to minimize grout lines. For the shower floor/pan small 1x1 DalTile Keystones Marble color tile was used to aid in making the floor feel extra slip resistant as the Keystones tiles do not have grittier feeling surface than porcelain tile. For safety and a non-industrial look, Moen Align chrome designer grab bars were installed in the shower and toilet room. The handshower and rainshower head system by Grohe beautifully combines the 2 systems in one unit called Retrofit 160. To allow the homeowners to turn the shower on and warm up without them having to step in the direct spray of the shower head, the controls were placed under the window near the shower entry. This would also allow a helper to assist anyone using the shower in the future should the need arise. A linear drain was installed to pull water away from the zero threshold shower entry. Installing a linear shower drain allows for a no threshold shower which can allow for the shower to be accessible with a walker or roll-in with a wheelchair as the shower was designed almost 40" wide. The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation of their bathroom. The design and material choices fit their tastes and needs perfectly. Now they can continue to age in place and not worry about how they would be able to bathe if something were to decrease their mobility. Photos by: H. Needham

Redesign of a master bath in a 1968 home by Robert Rummer in SW Portland. I filled in the sunken Roman tub and engineered a curb-free shower in a wet room and replaced the frosted glass exterior wall with high windows to offer privacy and frame trees and sky. The Carrara marble pattern continues up the wall and trims the window, with a herringbone pattern as the main slower area for design interest and added slip resistance. The cabinetry is custom and closet system designed in keeping with the functional simplicity of the home.

Designed By: Robert Griffin Photo Credit: Desired Photo Make the little details count. Adding granite accents on the tub surround, window seals, and ledges in the shower bring an elevated feel to the entire room.

Instead of having a long "runway" vanity, we designed a detailed center base cabinet, that broke up the "long, continuous" look of the bathroom.

In every project we complete, design, form, function and safety are all important aspects to a successful space plan. For these homeowners, it was an absolute must. The family had some unique needs that needed to be addressed. As physical abilities continued to change, the accessibility and safety in their master bathroom was a significant concern. The layout of the bathroom was the first to change. We swapped places with the tub and vanity to give better access to both. A beautiful chrome grab bar was added along with matching towel bar and towel ring. The vanity was changed out and now featured an angled cut-out for easy access for a wheelchair to pull completely up to the sink while protecting knees and legs from exposed plumbing and looking gorgeous doing it. The toilet came out of the corner and we eliminated the privacy wall, giving it far easier access with a wheelchair. The original toilet was in great shape and we were able to reuse it. But now, it is equipped with much-needed chrome grab bars for added safety and convenience. The shower was moved and reconstructed to allow for a larger walk-in tile shower with stylish chrome grab bars, an adjustable handheld showerhead and a comfortable fold-down shower bench – proving a bathroom can (and should) be functionally safe AND aesthetically beautiful at the same time.

The master bathroom boast double showers and double vanities. The shower walls are tiled with a large grass porcelain tile, and complemented by a white and black pebble accent strip at the shower heads. The shower floor is brown pebbles and the built-in soaking tub is tiled with the same gray porcelain tile to match the walls and flooring. The vanity wall is tiled with a stacked stone tiles creating drama and elegance. The white shaker cabinets are floating giving a modern flair to a traditional style. The mirror is white to match the vanities and the vanity tops are natural wood. The half vessel sink is white porcelain and the fixtures are oil rubbed bronze by Kohler. The black hardware on the cabinets continues the black and white theme throughout.

We designed and built a new vanity and stained it to match the existing woodwork in the room. To continue the feel of a tropical experience we chose this Sage color from Pental’s Quartz collection. It ties in beautifully with the opalescent green mosaic.

While retaining the existing footprint, our clients wanted to update their current master bathroom to integrate their walk-in closet. A unique design approach was utilized to incorporate mixed materials and color tones. Creating a wooden half-wall separator complete with a double toilet paper holder and storage area provided a functional visual barrier. An 11ft. white shaker style vanity was coordinated with white Carrera marble, double rectangular sinks, brushed nickel faucets, and jeweled knobs. The custom shower area was fabricated to include rectangular and hexagon tile, a large shower seat, double niches, and a rain handheld shower system. The clear custom shower door was designed to encompass the shower seat and low step threshold in order to maintain design continuity. Rounding out the cool tones throughout, the main bathroom floor tile was selected in the same color pattern as all the shower tiles.
