Challenge
Aligning with my client’s values, knowing how important it was for him to have a sustainable bathroom was right up my alley. Creating more light, less water use and mostly reclaimed or natural materials became the starting point for a creative project that really got me excited as I began to sketch out my ideas.
The immediate challenge however, was this tiny bathroom needed a new floor plan which would feel less claustrophobic, a better visual style and much better flow. My client’s sensibility, a male stock trader with an eclectic taste wanted something that was practical, comfortable and uniquely showcase his personal taste.
From a construction stand point I pitched the idea of opening up the wall surrounding the shower and making the bathroom wider by placing the door way on a diagonal which would immediately add more square footage and wiggle room for the placement of the vanity.
