Project Description
Sharing a bathroom, especially with guests operating on
different schedules, can be challenging,. This condo had its owners sharing the
master bath with guests, so they decided to tackle the project right away to
avoid any complications. The goal was to create an en suite master bath that,
according to architect and builder Stephen Shoup, “would afford a sense of
privacy and strike a balance between original detailing and a modern spa-like
feel.”
Key to this design was the condo’s ample storage space. Shoup
was able to take an existing closet and transform it into part of the new
bathroom, which gave enough space for the addition of the toilet and a second
sink. With only 94 square feet to work with, Shoup’s team didn’t have the generous
space sometimes associated with a master bath, but by emphasizing the owner’s streamlined
Scandinavian design leanings, they were able to craft a sense of space and
lightness.
high ceilings and reflect the large window’s natural light. The mirrors were
also custom-wrapped with LED lights, creating an even brighter space. The
shower is separated from the rest of the bathroom by glass partitions, with no
steps or doors, while the sinks are situated on custom walnut cabinets
suspended above the porcelain tile floor.
