Reprioritizing & reconfiguring spaces to update master bath and create guest accommodations. Project Details: These homeowners loved the light, the views, and the compactness of their condo unit. The dining space could accommodate the whole family, they had private areas for quiet reading time, and they loved the location, the building and the community. They definitely did not want to leave. However, the wasted space in the guest bath, the dark, depressing, heavy-feeling in the master bath and the lack of closet space for guests were all problems for them. They wanted a brighter, more inviting bathroom with more functionality and storage, better accommodations for guests, and the tv room to become a comfortable place to relax and actually enjoy the incredible view they had. The unit was designed specifically for the needs of the previous owner, but they needed their home to fit their own needs and lifestyle. Our team helped this couple create the bright master bath they wanted, complete with additional functionality and storage options. The guest bath and sitting room were also both reconfigured. The guest bath was reworked to become smaller - but more functional, and the sitting room was expanded to become a fully-functioning guest room. The reprioritization and reworking of spaces in this unit is a great example of working within an existing framework to create rooms that better fit the needs and wants of a homeowner. The new spaces are a much better fit for the lifestyle and aesthetic of this couple, while mimicking the warmth and welcoming feel of the existing spaces they already enjoyed. They are now able to fully take advantage of the views in all living areas of the unit and can easily accommodate guests in comfort whenever they desire.

Creating this open airy master retreat involved removing a space consuming corner W.C. and an awkwardly deep linen closet. Using tall glass panels to separate the shower and toilet gives privacy while maintaining the newly acquired spaciousness. The glass panels transition from frosted around the toilet to clear around the roomy barrier free shower. By reducing the original closet opening, we gained necessary wall space for a modern freestanding tub. Tall cabinets provide plenty of storage space for linens and toiletries. A pair of pull-out cabinets – one on each side of the sink – conceal convenient grooming stations. An extra wide sink can easily accommodate two and still leaves plenty of counterspace on either side. The large mirror is mounted to a shallow framework concealing recessed lighting and softly illuminating the wall behind. The faucets and hand-held shower feature a knurled detail lending a bit of biker industrial to the modern surroundings. Access to the walk-in-closet is through a clean open doorway, while a wide modern style barn door slides open on the master bedroom side. Photo credit: Fred Donham of Photographerlink

This small weekend cabin designed by the owner is incredibly space-efficient. Hosting 2 bedrooms and 2 baths by sharing a shower and having an office space that doubles as a second bedroom by utilizing a Murphy bed, the modest 7oo SF footprint can comfortably accommodate guests. The outdoor spaces expand the living area with a 400 SF porch and a 200 SF deck that overlooks the river below. Materials were carefully selected to provide sustainable beauty and durability. The siding and decking are Kebony, interior floors are polished concrete (with hydronic heat), the fireplace surround is board-formed concrete (no finish applied), and the built-ins and half of the interior doors are cedar. The other interior doors are painted poplar with a waxed-steel band. A reclaimed pine countertop finishes off the natural steel framework made by a local fabricator. Houseworks provided the doors, built-in cabinetry, and poured-in-place concrete for the fireplace and remote firepit.
