The materials in the room are soothing and give a nice vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. We completed a kitchen remodel for this client a few years’ ago and were delighted when she contacted us for help with her master bath! The bathroom was fine but was lacking in interesting design elements, and the shower was very small. We started by eliminating the shower curb which allowed us to enlarge the footprint of the shower all the way to the edge of the bathtub, creating a modified wet room. The shower is pitched toward a linear drain so the water stays in the shower. A glass divider allows for the light from the window to expand into the room, while a freestanding tub adds a spa like feel. The radiator was removed and both heated flooring and a towel warmer were added to provide heat. Since the unit is on the top floor in a multi-unit building it shares some of the heat from the floors below, so this was a great solution for the space. The custom vanity includes a spot for storing styling tools and a new built in linen cabinet provides plenty of the storage. The doors at the top of the linen cabinet open to stow away towels and other personal care products, and are lighted to ensure everything is easy to find. The doors below are false doors that disguise a hidden storage area. The hidden storage area features a custom litterbox pull out for the homeowner’s cat! Her kitty enters through the cutout, and the pull out drawer allows for easy clean ups. The materials in the room – white and gray marble, charcoal blue cabinetry and gold accents – have a vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware add sparkle, while colorful artwork adds some life to the space.

This client grew up in this 1950’s family home and has now become owner in his adult life. Designing and remodeling this childhood home that the client was very bonded and familiar with was a tall order. This modern twist of original mid-century style combined with an eclectic fusion of modern day materials and concepts fills the room with a powerful presence while maintaining its clean lined austerity and elegance. The kitchen was part of a grander complete home re-design and remodel. A modern version of a mid-century His and Hers grand master bathroom was created to include all the amenities and nothing left behind! This bathroom has so much noticeable and hidden “POW” that commands its peaceful spa feeling with a lot of attitude. Maintaining ultra-clean lines yet delivering ample design interest at every detail, This bathroom is eclectically a one of a kind luxury statement. The concept in the laundry room was to create a simple, easy to use and clean space with ample storage and a place removed from the central part of the home to house the necessity of the cats and their litter box needs. There was no need for glamour in the laundry room yet we were able to create a simple highly utilitarian space. If there is one room in the home that requires frequent visitors to thoroughly enjoy with a huge element of surprise, it’s the powder room! This is a room where you know that eventually, every guest will visit. Knowing this, we created a bold statement with layers of intrigue that would leave ample room for fun conversation with your guests upon their prolonged exit. We kept the lights dim here for that intriguing experience of crafted elegance and created ambiance. The walls of peeling metallic rust are the welcoming gesture to a powder room experience of defiance and elegant mystical complexity. It's a lucky house guest indeed who gets to stay in this newly remodeled home. This on-suite bathroom allows them their own space and privacy. Both Bedroom and Bathroom offer plenty of storage for an extended stay. Rift White Oak cabinets and sleek Silestone counters make a lovely combination in the bathroom while the bedroom showcases textured white cabinets with a dark walnut wrap.

In this 2009 Master Bath addition the client was able to get the best of both worlds. Styling & architectural details that complimented their 18th century home and all of the modern spa-inspired amenities. What could be better on a cold January evening than a warm soak in a heated air bath or hydrating your soul to the core in a fully enclosed glass steam shower!

This project the home sat at the top of the hill with breathtaking views all around. The challenge was restrictions that dictated the placement of the pool a distance from the house. The final design was very pleasing with the swimming pool on the slope with these amazing views. A walkway leads from the side of the home to the pool gate. On entering the pool area, reveals a spa cascading into the pool, ample Techo-Bloc paver pool decking, and the valley laid out below.

After several years in their home, the client was tired of their outdated master bathroom. They had a tub they never used and a small shower that felt closed in and dark. The client wanted to create a spacious bathroom retreat with an open Contemporary look. They wanted to add some “wow” factor and give it a spa like feel whenever they used the space. For their needs, the existing shower was too small and they disliked the tiny tiles and large grout joints. The tub was seldom used and wasted a lot of space. Our client desired a large curb-less walk-in shower with seamless glass panels and bench seats for relaxing. The clients wanted to use products such as light colored porcelain tile and mosaic glass in decorative ways that created a Contemporary design in the space. They loved the way the mosaic glass captured the light and added sparkle. We kept the open concept by continuing the same porcelain tile on the bathroom floor and by using granite countertops with similar tones that tied the entire space together. We were able to continue the Contemporary look by adding his and hers floating vanities with large beautiful beveled mirrors above them. We layered the lighting by installing recessed cans, wall sconces and a chandelier. The granite that capped the vanities brought in more of the gray and white tones while the silver mica sparkled in the light. The porcelain tile contained a soft striation in it that added to the linear look while creating height and grandeur to the shower walls. By adding a glass/stone mosaic accent between the tiles and the backsplashes we were able to bounce the light around the room and tie the vanity area to the large shower.
