"The cut cylinder shape of the shower mimics the form of the house itself," says Bjella.
Again, contrasting warm and cool elements help keep the look modern, yet comfortable. Rosso Verona marble on the tub deck and shower walls has a warm hue. This is contrasted by the cooler tones of Labrador Antique granite, which forms the steps of the tub deck, shower columns, vanity tops and integral basins.
Bjella says the custom, sandblasted glass shower walls and doors have a practical as well as aesthetic function the wavy lines conceal watermarks. A similar sandblasted pattern appears on the vanity mirrors.
The vanity also mixes curved cabinetry detailing, brushed stainless steel and Australian lacewood, ensuring there is visual continuity with the rest of the suite.
