Our clients wanted to achieve a peaceful zen-like bath, which was to be used as an escape from their demanding workload. To create this effect we used marble tile, multiple mirrors, stainless steel fixtures, and lots of glass suspended almost invisibly in space. We also balanced this feeling with the functionality of the bath. We crafted a custom, curved, marble sink top and a shower seat, to match the marble wall and floor tiles, with a hand held spray for bathing in comfort. We placed a large mirrored medicine cabinet above their vanity, to conceal all the items our clients used to have no choice but to store openly on the counters. To maintain natural lighting, we replaced the old window in the shower with a new wood window with obscure glass for privacy. To protect the window and to increase privacy during showering, we fit white polywood shutters inside the marble window surround, which our clients found to be an ingenious solution to the previous troubles they encountered having a window in the shower, as many older homes in the area do.
