Baths we have loved.

A thoughtful bathroom can expand the sense of comfort that a well designed home offers. The bathroom is a place of shelter and rejuvenation. The space must provide warmth, refreshment, intimacy and comfort. The innovative use of materials and the selection of appropriate plumbing and lighting fixtures can amplify its sense of comfort and repose. In this respect, the size of the bath is not as important as its details and materials.

Whether it is the master bath or the children’s bath, the space requires thoughtful consideration. Because a bathroom is so necessary and basic, many forget to bring design into it and it becomes a collection of objects pushed to the walls---a sink, shower, bathtub and toilet. We have found that working with tactile materials such as concrete counters, glass tile and woods, for example, integrates these basic plumbing fixtures into a larger, refreshing whole. Rather than being a utilitarian space, good design creates a bathroom that is a center of peacefulness and tranquility in our home.

We have assembled a slideshow of custom baths we have renovated or built from scratch that reflect these ideas.
