• Marble was incorporated throughout the
bathroom to add a feeling of luxury.
• To create interest in the wide expanse of flooring,
a rug pattern with a mosaic inlay is centered on
the free-standing tub and bay window.
• The tub vent pipe issue was rectified with a 2"
diameter pipe to the outside.
• Eliminating the drop-in tub allowed for a
symmetrically balanced vanity. This wall really
becomes the focal point of the room.
Symmetry is created with the wall panels and
light sconces on each side of the decorative
mirrors.
• The minimalistic style and fluid lines of the
plumbing fixtures add traditional yet modern
design to the vanity, bathtub, and shower.
• The organic curves and elegant proportions of
the free-standing tub add elegance to the
room. The volcanic limestone material is warm
to the touch.
• In-floor heat was added to keep tile floors warm.
• A deeper wall cavity with insulation was added
to the shower where the recessed niches
were located.
• Reworking the molding above the entry doorway
allowed for crown molding to encircle the tray
ceiling. The wall register was relocated under
the soffit.
• An elegant organic leaf chandelier mimics the
shape in the mosaic floor tiles below.
• Another rug pattern with mosaic tiles was
incorporated in the head wall of the shower to
add a focal point in this space.
