A Good Bath

The new and improved master suite in a three-part design concept.

The existing suite was big but not well designed.

We've just begun construction on a master suite renovation in Rob Roy, one of our favorite neighborhoods. We're transforming our clients' existing master bathroom and closet into a very special three part space: a new Wardrobe, Dressing room, and Bathroom.

The new wardrobe creates a transitional space between the bedroom and the bath / dressing areas. This gives privacy, sound control, and lots of clothing storage, minimizing the need for dressers and armoirs in the bedroom. Lots of our clients want to de-clutter their bedrooms these days.

The three new spaces are organized by a single axis [center line] that runs the width of the building, terminating in a pair of large new windows. A new vaulted ceiling with continuous cove lighting runs the length of the axis also.

Although we didn't enlarge the closet, we've opened it up to feel larger, added a central island for storage, and a window seat. This makes it easy to sit and put your shoes on!

The new window openings provide better daylight and views [where privacy allows], and we're building in a much higher level of fit and finish. Our clients want the new dressing areas to have "that country club feeling", so we're outfitting them in custom built stained cherry millwork throughout.

It should be pretty spectacular when we're done. Updates to come.
