Our clients wanted to make their bathroom into an art project, and they meant it. They came in with a clear picture, every bell and whistle, and when the details added up, they didn't flinch. They were firm about what they wanted: a really nice bathroom that's a delight to be in. Drawing it with them and going through every selection was a blast. Kind of a dream as a builder.

We don't wing this part. We run a pre-construction planning process on every job, and this one took over a month of it, because there were so many pieces to align: the drawings and revisions, every fixture and finish, writing our trade partners' scopes, the schedule, the budget. By the time we started, nobody was guessing. No change orders, no surprises, on time and under budget.

The whole room is large-format porcelain, floor to ceiling, with the long shower wall running as a dark accent. We took our time with the tile, mapping the veining so it runs clean across the walls, and walked the clients through each section before any of it went up. The old space was a cramped tub alcove with a soffit hanging overhead. We pulled the soffit and went curbless with a linear drain spanning wall to wall, so the floor reads as one continuous surface and the room finally breathes. Heated floors throughout, shower included.

The glass runs tall, high enough to keep the hardware from crossing the veining. Our client is 6'2", so that meant 80 inch panels, which feels pretty luxurious anyway. We started somewhere near a Japandi direction and drifted off it, but the frameless maple vanity stayed, topped with a quartz counter and a tall mitered apron where the vein runs right off the front edge. Matte black on everything else. Hardware, fixtures, even the devices.

This is the kind of project we love getting to build, with clients who were all in from day one. Really proud of where it landed.
