The objective was to take a poorly designed
bathroom with disjointed spaces and transform it into one beautiful and
spatially functional owner’s suite bathroom. Even a bathroom in a
virtually new house can suffer from poor design. This owner’s suite
makeover fixed a lot, improved a lot, and brought a lot more
functionality and beauty to this home. The client desired a more
visually attractive and open space that could be more functional and
aesthetically beautiful.
MA Peterson reconfigured
the bathroom and the closet leading to it to create more space by
combining 2 baths into one. The windows were existing and to prevent
exterior work, were creatively included into the overall design. This
design not only allowed them to stay in place where they were
originally, but afforded great light into the reconfigured bathroom
space. An abundance of detail created a classic feel with the
architectural tub niche, the separate toilet room and the vanity/makeup
area. Masculine slate stone floors, classic ceramic wainscot and marble
countertops surround a spacious his & her vanity, with sconces to
illuminate each. The formal white cabinetry provided the perfect
contrast to the plank-like rustic slate floor. All in all, a bright, hip
vibe was achieved in a singular bathroom space that was originally not
well thought out or functional. With rethinking, renovation and durable
finishes, this owners’ suite bathroom satisfies both the masculine and
the feminine side.
