Set under a unique circular detail on the ceiling, the tub mirrors the shape. Meticulous mosaic tile work surround the tub in this Paradise Valley, AZ bathroom. Attention to detail is apparent in the marble Corinthian columns and the unique tile work on the floor.

Master Bathroom Mirrors

A unique feature in this shower is the toe tester faucet, lower right. Bronze fleur and pencil inlays lend a reflective quality to the smooth limestone walls. Photo taken by Michelle Lecinski

"When I first visited the client's house, and before seeing the space, I sat down with my clients to understand their needs. They told me they were getting ready to remodel their bathroom and master closet, and they wanted to get some ideas on how to make their closet better. The told me they wanted to figure out the closet before they did anything, so they presented their ideas to me, which included building walls in the space to create a larger master closet. I couldn't visual what they were explaining, so we went to the space. As soon as I got in the space, it was clear to me that we didn't need to build walls, we just needed to have the current closets torn out and replaced with wardrobes, create some shelving space for shoes and build an island with drawers in a bench. When I proposed that solution, they both looked at me with big smiles on their faces and said, 'That is the best idea we've heard, let's do it', then they asked me if I could design the vanity as well. "I used 3/4" Melamine, Italian walnut, and Donatello thermofoil. The client provided their own countertops." - Leslie Klinck, Designer

With straight walls at a premium, a half moon shower provides the best solution. Beside the wall hung toilet is a laundry basket and additional storage.

Impluvium Architecture Location: El Dorado Hills, CA, USA This was a direct referral from a friend. I was the Architect and helped coordinate with various sub-contractors. I also co-designed the project with various consultants including Interior and Landscape Design Almost always and in this case I do my best to draw out the creativity of my clients, even when they think that they are not creative. I also really enjoyed working with Tricia the Interior Designer (see Credits) Photographed by: Shawn Johnson
