Master Bath Renovation |
||
|
This sophisticated master bath gives few clues to its
humble origins as a small bedroom and hallway bath. The expanded
room is bolder, sleeker, sexier-- and very comfortable in its new life.
|
Among the inspirations for the look of the room were early-20th-century men's haberdasheries and the organized glamour of the Orient Express, and ambiance favored by the homeowners, who love to travel. They wanted their bath to exude a masculine quality, but without any macho heavy-handedness. |
|
|
The expansive space now includes a closed-off commode
and a huge shower stall made of glass on three sides. As couples
frequently spend time in the bathroom together, we wanted to create a
space two people could use comfortably at the same time.
We refinished the original maple floors and designed a mahogany cabinet unit that recalls a ship's storage bins-- or steamer trunk. Counters of black concrete match the shower wall. Two sinks sit at different heights for ease of use. |
