Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes and each project has its unique challenges. This master bath remodel was no different. The room had been remodeled about 20 years ago as part of a large addition and consists of three separate zones – 1) tub zone, 2) vanity/storage zone and 3) shower and water closet zone. The room layout and zones had to remain the same, but the goal was to make each area more functional. In addition, having comfortable access to the tub and seating in the tub area was also high on the list, as the tub serves as an important part of the daily routine for the homeowners and their special needs son. We started out in the tub room and determined that an undermount tub and flush deck would be much more functional and comfortable for entering and exiting the tub than the existing drop in tub with its protruding lip. A redundant radiator was eliminated from this room allowing room for a large comfortable chair that can be used as part of the daily bathing routine. In the vanity and storage zone, the existing vanities size neither optimized the space nor provided much real storage. A few tweaks netted a much better storage solution that now includes cabinets, drawers, pull outs and a large custom built-in hutch that houses towels and other bathroom necessities. A framed custom mirror opens the space and bounces light around the room from the large existing bank of windows. We transformed the shower and water closet room into a large walk in shower with a trench drain, making for both ease of access and a seamless look. Next, we added a niche for shampoo storage to the back wall, and updated shower fixtures to give the space new life. The star of the bathroom is the custom marble mosaic floor tile. All the other materials take a simpler approach giving permission to the beautiful circular pattern of the mosaic to shine. White shaker cabinetry is topped with elegant Calacatta marble countertops, which also lines the shower walls. Polished nickel fixtures and sophisticated crystal lighting are simple yet sophisticated, allowing the beauty of the materials shines through.

In the primary bathroom, we did the same, kept convenience in mind by placing the shower valve near the entrance. No need to step in while the water heats, just turn it on, wait, and enjoy. A simple upgrade that makes daily routines feel more refined.

Creating your outdoor living space means claiming your own little slice of nature and customizing it to suit your lifestyle and enhance your daily routine. Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than sitting on your favorite patio chair, feeling the warm sun mixed with a cool breeze, and smelling the fragrant flowers blossoming in your garden. Imagine how much more time you would spend outside if you had your very own cabana, bungalow, pergola, sunroom or pool house to enjoy! Think of all the ways an outdoor room could enhance your Southern California lifestyle and prime your home for entertaining guests year-round.

While on vacation, our clients found a very talented artist whom they commissioned to make two sinks for their master bath rehab. We designed the space to highlight these magnificent bowls. By keeping the use of blue to a minimum, the sinks became the focal point. In supporting roles, we utilized iridescent tiles on the walls and a coordinating faux stone tile. While this room was large enough to separate the shower from the bathing area, a separate water closet wasn't in the cards. So a less invasive frosted glass panel provides some additional privacy during the morning routine. Designer: Larry Rych Photographer: Stephanie Bullwinkel

This custom home on Lake Lanier was designed as a retirement retreat for a couple seeking comfort, connection, and long-term livability. The main level was carefully planned to support everyday life, with the kitchen, living areas, primary suite, and personal office all on one floor for ease and convenience. Fireplaces throughout create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the couple’s vision of home. The lower level was designed as a flexible extension of the house, a gym and living space that serves visiting family now and can adapt for future needs as the family grows. By dedicating this floor to guests and gatherings, the design allows the couple to enjoy their own private routines on the main level while still offering a generous retreat for children and grandchildren. Outdoor living completes the experience, with a deck overlooking the water, a hot tub for relaxation, and spaces that connect seamlessly to the lakeside setting.

This project was designed to accommodate the client’s wish to have a traditional and functional barn that could also serve as a backdrop for social and corporate functions. Several years after it’s completion, this has become just the case as the clients routinely host everything from fundraisers to cooking demonstrations to political functions in the barn and outdoor spaces. In addition to the barn, Axial Arts designed an indoor arena, cattle & hay barn, and a professional grade equipment workshop with living quarters above it. The indoor arena includes a 100′ x 200′ riding arena as well as a side space that includes bleacher space for clinics and several open rail stalls. The hay & cattle barn is split level with 3 bays on the top level that accommodates tractors and front loaders as well as a significant tonnage of hay. The lower level opens to grade below with cattle pens and equipment for breeding and calving. The cattle handling systems and stocks both outside and inside were designed by Temple Grandin- renowned bestselling author, autism activist, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. This project was recently featured in Cowboy & Indians Magazine. As the case with most of our projects, Axial Arts received this commission after being recommended by a past client.

Bright airy kitchen that marries the old and the new. Original plaster crown and niche detailing is restored while a modern new kitchen is inserted to offer clean lines and efficient kitchen workspace. Warm white oak cabinetry coupled with white uppers provides a open lightness to the space. The TV and coffee station are hidden behind pocketing doors so they can be closed up after the morning routine! Photo Credit: Blackstock Photography
