The Majestic bath range (past collections) in Snowdrift finish captures the essence of the architectural design ethos of the Three Parts House project. Bold, sophisticated luxury, the clean lines and neutral palette flow easily with the Australian lifestyle - contemporary, fresh, clean and breezy. Photo Credits: Earl Carter

This home, which earned three awards in the Santa Fe 2011 Parade of Homes, including best kitchen, best overall design and the Grand Hacienda Award, provides a serene, secluded retreat in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The architecture recedes back to frame panoramic views, and light is used as a form-defining element. Paying close attention to the topography of the steep lot allowed for minimal intervention onto the site. While the home feels strongly anchored, this sense of connection with the earth is wonderfully contrasted with open, elevated views of the Jemez Mountains. As a result, the home appears to emerge and ascend from the landscape, rather than being imposed on it.

This Connecticut couple's bathroom had adequate but poorly utilized space. Outdated ceramic tiles, a lack of storage and a shared sink was inconvenient and less than aesthetically appealing. So Barry Miller of Simply Baths, Inc. worked with the homeowners to create a new and improved master bathroom. The first step: demolishing the 56 sq. foot master closet and adding that space to the bathroom. To replace this storage, the old sitting room was transformed into a 250 square foot walk-in master closet. The newly enlarged bath now features a large two-person, barrier-free walk-in shower with a natural pebble mosaic floor. The sandy-beige floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile that accents the shower and continues throughout most of the bathroom adds earth tones while the blue glass mosaic wall behind the freestanding soaking tub adds spa style. Both the shower and the tub are enhanced by natural light from a nearby window, which also offers views of the peaceful New England countryside. The two wall-hanging vanities have a simple, clean design while offering plenty of storage space, and the two vessel sinks add a touch of elegance. The renovated space is contemporary and luxurious - the perfect combination of natural elements in a spa-like setting.
