The free-standing, pewter pedestal tub was located across from the entrance to serve as the focal point of the space.
A custom cabinetry entablature frames the space, focusing the attention on the tub, while also giving a place for recessed shelves to display bath salts, candles and other items.
The decorative tile detail behind the tub becomes the artwork of the space and is set off by the starburst chandelier which was converted to low voltage to meet local building code for use over the tub.
Lilac marble tile was repeated from the large format floor tile to the countertops and shower casing, to the herringbone mosaic tile used above the wainscot in the shower and as a backsplash for the 'his' vanity.
Black Nero marble was also repeated in the wainscot, shower bench, shower mouldings and the decorative tile behind the tub.
Floating sink vanities are surrounded by custom cabinetry entablatures as well, which not only focus attention on the vanities and mirrors but also house hidden storage.
Mirrors in a starburst shape repeat the design of the chandelier over the tub and create dramatic focal points.
Our homeowners love natural light and wanted the space to be bright, with the option to see outside.
This created a challenge when paired with privacy considerations.
The solution was to install a Smart Glass window behind the 'her' vanity which is frosted, allowing natural light but also providing privacy and with the flip of a switch the glass turns from frosted to clear allowing the view of outside.
Since the starburst mirror could not be hung from the glass window, a custom brass rod was designed to suspend it from the entablature above.
