This remodeled bathroom has a fresh, updated feel...just right for a beach vacation on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Love the openness and easy maintenance of the glass shower wall.

Pool access bathroom.

Mikonos 12x24 tile in Coral from Tesoro was used for the bathroom floor as well as the shower walls in a vertical layout. A glass and stone linear mosaic in Blue Ice Blend was used as a vertical decorative panel on the shower wall and Ocean Stones Sliced Pebbles in White Tumbled from Tesoro were used on the shower floor. The shower was complete with a recessed niche and a frameless glass hinge door.

This 1907 home in the Ericsson neighborhood of South Minneapolis needed some love. A tiny, nearly unfunctional kitchen and leaking bathroom were ready for updates. The homeowners wanted to embrace their heritage, and also have a simple and sustainable space for their family to grow. The new spaces meld the home’s traditional elements with Traditional Scandinavian design influences. In the kitchen, a wall was opened to the dining room for natural light to carry between rooms and to create the appearance of space. Traditional Shaker style/flush inset custom white cabinetry with paneled front appliances were designed for a clean aesthetic. Custom recycled glass countertops, white subway tile, Kohler sink and faucet, beadboard ceilings, and refinished existing hardwood floors complete the kitchen after all new electrical and plumbing. In the bathroom, we were limited by space! After discussing the homeowners’ use of space, the decision was made to eliminate the existing tub for a new walk-in shower. By installing a curbless shower drain, floating sink and shelving, and wall-hung toilet; Castle was able to maximize floor space! White cabinetry, Kohler fixtures, and custom recycled glass countertops were carried upstairs to connect to the main floor remodel. White and black porcelain hex floors, marble accents, and oversized white tile on the walls perfect the space for a clean and minimal look, without losing its traditional roots! We love the black accents in the bathroom, including black edge on the shower niche and pops of black hex on the floors. Tour this project in person, September 28 – 29, during the 2019 Castle Home Tour!

This passive solar addition transformed this nondescript ranch house into an energy efficient, sunlit, passive solar home. The addition to the rear of the building was constructed of compressed earth blocks. These massive blocks were made on the site with the earth from the excavation. With the addition of foam insulation on the exterior, the wall becomes a thermal battery, allowing winter sun to heat the blocks during the day and release that heat at night. The house was built with only non toxic or natural materials. Heat and hot water are provided by a 94% efficient gas boiler which warms the radiant floor. A new wood fireplace is an 80% efficient, low emission unit. With Energy Star appliances and LED lighting, the energy consumption of this home is very low. The addition of infrastructure for future photovoltaic panels and solar hot water will allow energy consumption to approach zero.

This traditional bathroom has a recycled glass counter with a custom mosaic mix for the counter and bathtub backslash. The counter color is called 431 and the mosaics are 3/4"x3/4". There are many colors, from white, grey, black and browns to reds, blues, greens and many more. You can also make a custom mosaic mix from our large variety of colors and choose from 3/4"x 3/4" or 3/8"x 3/8".

This guest bathroom features Walker Zanger’s Blue Shadow oval mosaic on the shower walls and floor, plus the outer shower wall. This adds a very nice texture to the wall. Above the mosaic wall, we see Curava recycled glass product for the ledge.
