Sculptural Elegance
As part of the whole-house renovation of a
traditional two-story home, the client wanted
the master bath and closet suite to provide a
luxurious retreat with dramatic flair, while also
continuing the natural flow of interior space.
To that end, designer Sandra Diaz-Velasco
created a wood-paneled entrance to connect
the master suite with the rest of the home.
By managing aspects of volume, geometry,
and light, Diaz-Velasco was able to both
improve the layout and amplify the mood.
The space adeptly melds elegance and
function, with clean lines and chic natural
materials, such as gray marble and onyx walls
and stone flooring. Creative manipulation of
ceiling volumes enhances the sense of vertical
space, while elegant yet playful light fixtures
add whimsy.
Along with the whirlpool spa and bathtub,
the custom shower enclosure is integrated into
an open area to make the master bath feel
more spacious. But it's the sculptural form of
the freestanding Juliet tub from MTI that's the
centerpiece, drawing guests into the room.
