Designing bespoke joinery for the vanity allowed plentiful storage, that was divided, enabling each boy to have their own personal drawer space. With use of dark elements in the joinery, such as the black terrazzo, black tapware and black Articolo wall light, a strength and masculinity is evident, yet the handmade elements and use of textured, raw materials lighten the overall effect, so there is more a playful not overbearing masculinity (a modern sensitive male zone).

This residence had been recently remodeled, with the exception of two of the bathrooms. Michael Merrill Design Studio enlarged the downstairs bathroom, which now has a spa-like atmosphere. It serves pool guests as well as house guests. Over-scaled tile floors and architectural glass tiled walls impart a dramatic modernity to the space. Note the polished stainless steel ledge in the shower niche. A German lacquered vanity and a Jack Lenor Larsen roman shade complete the space. Upstairs, the bathroom has a much more organic feel, using a shaved pebble floor, linen textured vinyl wall covering, and a watery green wall tile. Here the vanity is veneered in a rich walnut. The residence, nestled on 20 acres of heavily wooded land, has been meticulously detailed throughout, with new millwork, hardware, and finishes. (2012-2013); Photos © Paul Dyer Photography
