This dream bath oozes sophistication and glamor while maximizing efficiency. An eight-foot-long vanity holds a sink and dressing area. Glass panels separate the dramatic red tiles on the far wall from the black tiles in the shower.

The primary bathroom is distinguished by its proximity to and sole use by the primary bedroom. Some primary bedrooms will feature two complete bathrooms, one for each of the two primary bedroom residents.

This palatial estate spreads across the fan-shaped lot to take advantage of the wonderful views from the backyard. Four species of palm tree were used in the landscaping to accent the shapes and textures of the exterior.

Home built by JMA (Jim Murphy and Associates); designed by architect BAR Architects. Photo credit: Doug Dun. Inspiration drawn from the world, in harmony with the land. Rancho Miniero: Nestled into a sloping hillside, this home’s design gradually reveals itself as you drive up to the auto court, walk through an opening in a garden wall and enter through the front door. The expansive great room has a 15-foot ceiling and concrete floors, stained the color of worn leather. A series of dramatic glass archways open onto the pool terrace and provide a stunning view of the valley below. Upstairs, the bedrooms have floors of reclaimed hickory and pecan. The homes’ copper roof reflects sunlight, keeping the interior cool during the warm summer months. A separate pool house also functions as an office. Photography Doug Dun

Sited in a well-treed urban neighbourhood, the early 20th century yellow-brick structure was completely stripped down and refitted with steel sash windows, bleached oak floors and cabinetry, and elements in steel, oak and glass. The front facade was completely restored but untouched in its original design because of the houses designation as an Ontario Heritage Property

Ensuite baths are the holy grail of bathrooms. Connected to the guest bedroom or master suite, ensuite baths are where you go all-out in designing your bathroom. It’s for you, the guest of the home, after all. Common guest bathroom features include double vanities, stand-alone bathtubs and showers, and occasionally even toilet areas separated by a door. These options are great if you need the additional space for two people getting ready in the morning. Speaking of space, guest baths are typically large and spacious, adding to the luxurious feel. The primary bathroom is distinguished by its proximity to and sole use by the primary bedroom. Some primary bedrooms will feature two complete bathrooms, one for each of the two primary bedroom residents.

We love using wall-mount faucets in bathrooms. The countertop stays nice and clean and there are no hard-water deposits to build up on the base of the fixture.

We built the handsome shake and siding home, with board and batten shutters, in Powder Springs GA. The open concept kitchen and family rooms were designed with an exposed-beam vaulted ceiling and hardwood flooring. The custom white kitchen cabinetry and half wrap-around island provide plenty of space for food prep, storage and entertaining. The spacious family room has a tall floor to ceiling stacked stone fireplace, which is surrounded by built-in cabinets and bookshelves. The eating area is situated inside a half wrap-around room with lots of natural lighting. The master bedroom, with its deep tray ceiling and hardwood flooding, has an opening to its own covered deck outdoors. The large master bath features a standalone tub and a separate walk-in shower. The home was designed with a bonus room with hardwood flooring upstairs as well as a full basement. The home also has a number of separate covered decks and patios for outdoor living space.
