The “hidden drain” is a tiled drain top which works well with 2x2 tile, not pebbles. We have always had it as an option. Also, the dark red mahogany colors and shutter door style is reminiscent of a warmer climate. The rainforest green granite is tropical and relates to the matching tile in the shower accent. The neutral beige tile has a subtle bamboo texture on the radiant heated floors. The layout is purposely done so not to disturb the view of their private marshlands. The mirrors are medicine cabinets, and the posts hold electrical wiring for up-lights, sconces and outlets. The client also wanted a bar area (3rd sink) with a mini frig and sink for a coffee bar.

TROPICAL LOOKS: Canna grow well on S facing balconies in the warm weather, but must be overwintered inside in our climate. The blossoms are so vivid and cheerful! Also shown are bougainvillea, which are a lovely climbing vine which can be grown in containers; they also must be over-wintered. If you're bothered about thorns, a few thornless varieties of bougainvillea have now been developed.

Closer view of the plants that have grown in the beds. It is important with Bermuda's climate to have plants that weather well with the high winds and salt spray they'll be exposed to rather than purely decoration planting. One would rather have a plush green plant bed than one struggling due to decoration plants that struggle to thrive.

Custom cabinetry, hidden handles, and integrated appliances complete the look, creating a kitchen that’s not only visually balanced but also highly functional. Every detail was curated for long-term beauty and resilience in a tropical climate.
