The original
configuration of this bathroom and adjacent closet was confusing. There
was a narrow doorway tucked behind a chimney, a dysfunctional set of
shelves and drawers that served as a linen closet, and a long narrow
closet lodged behind the bathroom. Everything bout this space was wrong.
The clients direction was to create a spa-like environment that felt
open and relaxing.
The new design called for relocating the bathroom door, taking over an
existing closet, and creating two new closets for the adjacent bedrooms.
This provided enough space for a walk-in shower, soaking tub, custom
linen storage and a custom double bowl vanity.
Natural light streams through a fiberglass shower window through a piece
of eco-resin that serves as the shower wall. The wall between the tub
and the shower has a small opening that makes the tub feel private. The
vanity design allows for both concealed and open storage. The shelving
is integrated into the large oval leg that serves as the visible end of
the vanity. The countertop is remnant granite and is shaped to allow for
maximum storage while not impinging on the window or the ability to use
the space.
