HOME & COTTAGE
It all begins with a feeling… ”We like the feel of a luxury hotel bathroom and are hoping to have that at home.”
Our mission was to seamlessly merge the concept of “luxury” with the existing unique historical features, ensuring the new space didn’t feel disconnected from the rest of the home. We started by merging two adjacent closets from adjoining rooms, providing us with an increased footprint. This allowed us to give our clients a spacious custom shower and the pony wall provided privacy to the relocated toilet. While we always aim to minimize the reconfiguration of plumbing to contain costs, in this case, we recognized the necessity of relocating it. At the top of our client’s wish list was in-floor heating and a towel warmer - two essential components that would infuse their bathroom with the luxurious atmosphere they were striving for. When you’re already in the process of renovating your bathroom, incorporating radiant in-floor heat is a relatively straightforward and cost- effective enhancement to make. We worked with a local cabinetmaker to craft a custom vanity that featured slightly narrower outer portions, accommodating the existing window trim, and unintentionally infusing captivating dimension into the space. Additionally, we asked for arched toe kicks, a subtle but harmonizing element that beautifully resonates with the curved oversized mirror positioned above. Our shower’s tile choices defied convention with a mix of textures, shapes, and styles. Hexagon marble adorned the floor, while soft gray large format matte tiles graced the lower walls, and a classic white glossy subway tile adorned the upper sections. Transitioning between the two wall tiles, a marble bluenose seamlessly bridges the gap, and for added movement and intrigue, veiny quartz elegantly lines the sills and curbs.
