Kalorama Triangle, DC - Master Bathroom

NARI CotY "Grand" Award Winner 2004

Brief Explanation of the Scope of Work

The residents of this Adams Morgan townhouse wanted a modern master bathroom oasis that was unique, fun, private and functional. The bathroom was roughly $50,000 as part of a larger remodeling project.

Unusual Constraints/Challenges & Creative Solutions

Since we were renovating the whole floor, we were able to make the master suite really work by reorganizing the space

The truly innovative bathroom design is a serious yet fun study of lines and curves. The Italian double-bowled vanity console is mirrored by a half circle of glass tile below (See after picture on the left).

Glass mosaic and Thassos tiled curves in the shower continue this design element. The smooth line of the custom frameless shower enclosure allows the space to feel larger and integrated.

The design created many construction challenges. We took special care in our framing and plumbing so the lines would be excellent. Our expert tile setter took special pride in performing this job as the differences in thickness between stone and glass tile, plus custom curves, made this bathroom one his more challenging installations

The custom made 5-panel door with rosettes matches Victorian D.C. details original to the house. Installing a contemporary bathroom in a Victorian house successfully was as much of a big question we had, but we think the project was an unqualified success. Excellent lighting from recessed lights and from sconces over the medicine cabinet ensures that the homeowners will be able to enjoy the wonderful details and craftsmanship of their bathroom.
