The result is a more layered, wellness-focused workspace that feels polished, personal, and thoughtfully connected to the rest of the home. Design: Carol Lombardo Weil; Photography: Salisography

Thoughtful architectural detailing creates a naturally defined niche for the luxury Jacuzzi soaking tub, transforming it into a tranquil focal point within this biophilic primary bathroom.
