Winona Ct. - Master Bath

The clients were looking to maximize functionality in their quirky attic bathroom and create the perfect on-suite bathroom from their bedroom. The existing layout was not functional for the couple to use as a primary bathroom since space was tight, lighting was terrible, and there was little storage. Angled ceilings in the space created challenges that called for creative problem solving in the final design. The bonus room in back provided much needed real estate to extend the existing bathroom footprint. By swapping the sink & bathtub locations, we were able to provide a large two-sink vanity with plenty of storage underneath and give each person a storage tower of their own! By creating a soffit between the vanity towers, we were able to provide recessed lighting in the soffit to light the vanity area and dedicate the vanity wall space for a large custom mirror that extends to the height needed for our tall clients to easily see themselves without crouching. We created a toilet nook by installing a partial wall between the (shifted) toilet and alcove tub which has a glass window making it feel more open and not enclosed, especially with the sharp angled ceilings inside the shower.

To continue the open feeling of the space, we installed a bi-parting pocket door with custom glass inserts to allow natural light to filter into the bathroom from the bonus room’s south facing window. Because the house was built in the early 1900’s, the final design and finishes were inspired by this era and blended with the client’s taste for modern finishes. We chose to go with a timeless black and white theme including a vintage inspired white hexagon floor tile with a black hexagon border, tall black ceramic base tile, classic white subway tile with an accent black stripe and chair rail. White cabinets with a beautiful quartz countertop are paired with modern black fixtures and accents bringing the whole space together. Light and bright finishes in this bathroom make you forget you are standing in a space that was once a dark and dingy attic make-shift bathroom.
