Search results for "Single missing" in Home Design Ideas

A family that spends a lot of time in and around their beautiful saltwater pool, did not have a place in their home that provided them a visual or physical connection. They also lacked any storage for all their pool “stuff”. With small children and a love for entertaining, they needed a room that served and supported their watery lifestyle. We took over an empty and unused notch along the back of the house adjacent to the pool patio to create a new bright and airy pool house.
The new out building attempts to unify 4 areas; an existing deck, an upper master bedroom balcony, a lower lawn, and the pool itself, and provide the missing storage. By locating the pool house at the juxtaposition of these areas, the new room was able to provide a new expanded rooftop balcony for the master, anchor and define the dining and barbeque deck, extend and connect to the pool and patio, and create a new access to integrate the lower lawn – and carve out the much needed storage for the variety of pool toys and equipment.
The building itself is 400 sf with bath, laundry, storage, mechanical, kitchen, and living. A single new secure connection is made into the house through the existing mudroom. Clad with crisply detailed ship lap cedar, it draws on the existing material palate of the house and nods to the boat aesthetic in expression and efficiency. With pocketing glass walls the pool house is both the utility building needed, and an expansion of the vibrant pool scene itself, inside and outside, along the poolside.

Master bathroom renovation. This bathroom was a major undertaking. Where you see the mirrored doors, it was a single vanity with a sink. It made more sense to have a double vanity on the other side next to the shower but I was missing a medicine cabinet so we decided to add a ROBERN 72" long medicine cabinet in the wall that used to be a small towel closet. The arched entry way was created after moving the wall and removing the door into a dark space where you see the toilet & bidet. The travertine floors are heated (a nice addition at is not expensive to do). Added a 70" free-standing stone tub by Clarke tubs (amazing tub), I love venetian plaster because it's so timeless and very durable. It's not used much these days probably because it's so labor intensive and expensive so I did the plastering myself. We raised up the floor and opted for no shower doors that I've wanted for many, many years after seeing this idea in France. We added the carved free-standing vanity and used 48" tall lighted mirrors. See more pictures on INSTAGRAM: pisces2_21

A 3,014 sq ft home on a 7,000 sq ft hillside lot on Laveta Terrace in Echo Park. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms across two storeys, with mountain views from the primary bath.
The house runs on a black and white palette, held from the entry through to the bathrooms. Custom grey cabinetry with vertical storage, an undermount sink and white subway tile in the kitchen. Grey mosaic tile under a walnut floating vanity in the primary bath — the walnut is one of the few warm notes in the house, and it's used sparingly. A single palette across a whole house is harder than it looks: every material has to be chosen against the same two references, and there is nowhere to hide a near-miss.
Bi-fold doors open the living room to the outside. A structural pillar left exposed to anchor the room rather than buried inside a wall.
Echo Park sits inside the City of Los Angeles, so plan check runs through LADBS — with hillside grading rules that govern how much house a lot like this can carry.
