Our client recently purchased a custom home built in the early 2000s and loved many aspects of it. However, although the primary bath was spacious, they said the shag carpet, Corian shower stall and dated turn of the century aesthetic had to go!

Their vision was to blend ultra-modern with old world traditional – not a common request, but the result is stunning. We decided on using a single variety of large format tile for the floor, curbless shower, and tub alcove. The shower drain and HVAC vent are both integrated into the tile floor, so they’re almost unnoticeable, which contributes to the sleek monolithic look.

Our client opted to have us remove the old inset platform tub, and install a free-standing tub in its place. That piece, as well as the crenulated framed mirrors and hand-blown Venetian glass sconces are a nod to the old world. We installed a modern Quartz vanity slab with metallic veining and contemporary European faucets, and everything works beautifully together.

All of this combined with a color saturation paint job results in a cavernous, yet cozy feel when you walk into the space…Mission accomplished!
