DESIGN STL’S 2020 ARCHITECT & DESIGNER AWARDS: MODERN BATH

The goal of this renovation was to give a 1980s bathroom a contemporary design and modern conveniences. The original choppy layout was eliminated—three rooms were combined into one—to yield a long, narrow space holding a walk-in shower and water closet. (A floor-to-ceiling door of etched and clear glass helps prevent a “bowling alley” effect.) The selection of fixtures, materials, and finishes, including a soothing cream paint color, has produced a tranquil environment. Subtle hints of gold enhance the design.
