Contemporary step down shower with combination of glass, porcelain, and marble tiles. All in different grey tones. Along with chrome fixtures and a glass sliding barn 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!

The bathroom featured a huge walk in showers with sliding glass enclosure, rain shower head, body sprays and handheld shower head.

A professional couple wanted a luxurious, yet serene master bathroom/spa. They are fascinated with the modern, simple look that exudes beauty and relaxation. Their “wish list”: Enlarged bathroom; walk-in steam shower; heated shower bench built long enough to lay on; natural light; easy to maintain; modern shower fixtures. The interior finishes had to be soothing and beautiful. The outcome is spectacular!

Bagno padronale con grande doccia emozionale, vasca da bagno, doppi lavabi e sanitari. Pareti di fondo con piastrelle lavorate per enfatizzare la matericità e illuminazione in gola di luce.

The primary en-suite bathroom had very tall ceilings, so we added a pretty Roman blind to emphasise that. Bespoke slabs of marble were cut to fit around the bath surround & inside the shower, and we added pretty patterned floor tiles for contrast and classic nickel bathroom fittings.
