This small chop up bathroom was in two disjointed pieces; a small closet-like room for the toilet and a dark cramped tub and sink room.Removing the walls between the two and amalgamating both entrances, creates a palatial single bathroom with an ensuite door. New trim restores and highlights the redesigned space that features a peaceful zen-like atmosphere and an environmentally friendly core.

The uniquely curved tub provides more than just a relaxing esthetic. The deeper tub provides the same floating experience as its longer cousins, only with less water consumption. Moreover the placement allows for a hidden toiletries and towels storage. To complete the bathing sanctuary, an overhead Low Flow Rain Shower head stands ready to wash worry away. Air injection technology calms the environmentally conscious as well, making less water feel like more. A thermostatic shower control ensures the water is always at the right temperature with little or no wait so you can enjoy a soothing shower sooner. The low volume pull out hand shower adds yet another perk. Both the shower and sink incorporate anti scalding designs to protect those we love.

The monolithic mirror adds more than style, reflecting more light into the room, reducing the need for lights. When illumination is needed, the orb shape light fixture on the mirror acquires a floating quality above the sleek custom designed bamboo vanity and seashell limestone counter. The low energy fan quietly maintains a dry and healthy environment. The water saving toilet re-imagined chrome heating grill complete the green and Zen direction of the room, making a simple and natural haven-like space.
