This insert was set in the Kitchen to dress out a window that would otherwise be covered. Since it sits above a cooking surface, this works better than any soft treatment option

Getting into and out of freestanding tubs is always a discussion topic we cover thoroughly with clients. There's blocking in that column for future vertical grab bar installation if needed, and the platforms can help stabilize one's progress in and out. This tub has a thicker rim which would allow one to perch a minute - and there's a seat inside the tub which makes it a bit easier, too. No matter what, one needs to be very careful getting into and out of these tubs as was demonstrated quite clearly in the first season of Downton Abbey.

This project combines high end earthy elements with elegant, modern furnishings. We wanted to re invent the beach house concept and create an home which is not your typical coastal retreat. By combining stronger colors and textures, we gave the spaces a bolder and more permanent feel. Yet, as you travel through each room, you can't help but feel invited and at home.
