Creation of a new master bathroom, kids’ bathroom, toilet room and a WIC from a mid. size bathroom was a challenge but the results were amazing. The master bathroom has a huge 5.5'x6' shower with his/hers shower heads. The main wall of the shower is made from 2 book matched porcelain slabs, the rest of the walls are made from Thasos marble tile and the floors are slate stone. The vanity is a double sink custom made with distress wood stain finish and its almost 10' long. The vanity countertop and backsplash are made from the same porcelain slab that was used on the shower wall. The two pocket doors on the opposite wall from the vanity hide the WIC and the water closet where a $6k toilet/bidet unit is warmed up and ready for her owner at any given moment. Notice also the huge 100" mirror with built-in LED light, it is a great tool to make the relatively narrow bathroom to look twice its size.

Upon moving to a new home, this couple chose to convert two small guest baths into one large luxurious space including a Japanese soaking tub and custom glass shower with rainfall spout. Two floating vanities in a walnut finish topped with composite countertops and integrated sinks flank each wall. Due to the pitched walls, Barbara worked with both an industrial designer and mirror manufacturer to design special clips to mount the vanity mirrors, creating a unique and modern solution in a challenging space. The mix of travertine floor tiles with glossy cream wainscotting tiles creates a warm and inviting feel in this bathroom. Glass fronted shelving built into the eaves offers extra storage for towels and accessories. A oil-rubbed bronze finish lantern hangs from the dramatic ceiling while matching finish sconces add task lighting to the vanity areas.

A space perfect for relaxation—that's the ambiance this recent Evanston bathroom remodeling creates. The walls painted in lazy gray provide a serene backdrop while the metallic mosaic black tiles in the niche above the shower bath deliver a striking feel. The white matte ceramic tiles on the shower wall provide a perfect balance to the boldness of the metallic mosaic black tiles in the niche. The 30-inch bathroom vanity in Light Gray finishing contributes to an upgraded sense of style. Dark and bold black tiles bring an industrial edge to the bathroom flooring. The oxidized metal look and matte finish enhance the contemporary quality of these porcelain tiles, creating depth and dimension that captivate the eye. To complete the look, the vanity lighting gives off a custom feel with its trio of faceted shades and minimalist form. The matte black bathroom accessories serve as the perfect finishing touch, solidifying the overall design with a harmonious blend of style and practicality.

In this bathroom renovation we removed the soffit to enlarge the tiled shower area. We installed Medallion Silverline Oak vanity in Liberty door style in Sandalwood with a matching vanity mirror/medicine cabinet with matching wall cabinet. On the countertop is Corian 3/8” roundover edge in Bisque with 4” loose backsplash and side splash. A wide-spread Moen Brantford Collection faucet in Brushed Nickel with matching robe hooks, toilet paper holder, handheld slide bar and grab bars. The shower door is a Cardinal Tru Fit door with towel bar/pull combo in brushed nickel. Salcedo tile in Cortez Beige 12x12 was installed on the floor, 10x14 tile was installed on the shower walls with 2x2 Mosaic tile in the back of the Niche.

A young family with a wooded, triangular lot in Ipswich, Massachusetts wanted to take on a highly creative, organic, and unrushed process in designing their new home. The parents of three boys had contemporary ideas for living, including phasing the construction of different structures over time as the kids grew so they could maximize the options for use on their land. They hoped to build a net zero energy home that would be cozy on the very coldest days of winter, using cost-efficient methods of home building. The house needed to be sited to minimize impact on the land and trees, and it was critical to respect a conservation easement on the south border of the lot. Finally, the design would be contemporary in form and feel, but it would also need to fit into a classic New England context, both in terms of materials used and durability. We were asked to honor the notions of “surprise and delight,” and that inspired everything we designed for the family. The highly unique home consists of a three-story form, composed mostly of bedrooms and baths on the top two floors and a cross axis of shared living spaces on the first level. This axis extends out to an oversized covered porch, open to the south and west. The porch connects to a two-story garage with flex space above, used as a guest house, play room, and yoga studio depending on the day. A floor-to-ceiling ribbon of glass wraps the south and west walls of the lower level, bringing in an abundance of natural light and linking the entire open plan to the yard beyond. The master suite takes up the entire top floor, and includes an outdoor deck with a shower. The middle floor has extra height to accommodate a variety of multi-level play scenarios in the kids’ rooms. Many of the materials used in this house are made from recycled or environmentally friendly content, or they come from local sources. The high performance home has triple glazed windows and all materials, adhesives, and sealants are low toxicity and safe for growing kids. Photographer credit: Irvin Serrano
