Who needs paint when you can tile the walls?

A leaky garden tub is replaced by a walk-in shower featuring marble bullnose accents. The homeowner found the dresser on Craigslist and refinished it for a shabby-chic vanity with sleek modern vessel sinks. Beadboard wainscoting dresses up the walls and lends the space a chabby-chic feel. Garrett Buell

Upside Development completed an contemporary architectural transformation in Taylor Creek Ranch. Evolving from the belief that a beautiful home is more than just a very large home, this 1940’s bungalow was meticulously redesigned to entertain its next life. It's contemporary architecture is defined by the beautiful play of wood, brick, metal and stone elements. The flow interchanges all around the house between the dark black contrast of brick pillars and the live dynamic grain of the Canadian cedar facade. The multi level roof structure and wrapping canopies create the airy gloom similar to its neighbouring ravine.

La salle de bain s'habille d'une élégance intemporelle avec une crédence d'un bleu marine profond. Cette teinte somptueuse crée une toile de fond sophistiquée, conférant à la salle de bain une atmosphère à la fois chic et apaisante. L'accord raffiné est sublimé par des touches de robinetterie en laiton, ajoutant une lueur chaleureuse à l'ensemble. L'alliance du bleu marine et du laiton crée une esthétique harmonieuse, faisant de la salle de bain un espace où le luxe et le confort se rencontrent avec élégance.

Nach der Umgestaltung entsteht ein barrierefreies Bad mit großformatigen Natursteinfliesen in Kombination mit einer warmen Holzfliese am Boden und einer hinterleuchteten Spanndecke. Besonders im Duschbereich gibt es durch die raumhohen Fliesen fast keine Fugen. Die Dusche kann mit 2 Flügeltüren großzügig breit geöffnet werden und ist so konzipiert, dass sie auch mit einem Rollstuhl befahren werden kann.

Main Bathroom with a double sink

A basement bathroom for a teen boy was custom made to his personal aesthetic. a floating vanity gives more space for a matt underneath and makes the room feel even bigger. a shower with black hardware and fixtures is a dramatic look. The wood tones of the vanity warm up the dark fixtures and tiles.

This transformation started with a builder grade bathroom and was expanded into a sauna wet room. With cedar walls and ceiling and a custom cedar bench, the sauna heats the space for a relaxing dry heat experience. The goal of this space was to create a sauna in the secondary bathroom and be as efficient as possible with the space. This bathroom transformed from a standard secondary bathroom to a ergonomic spa without impacting the functionality of the bedroom. This project was super fun, we were working inside of a guest bedroom, to create a functional, yet expansive bathroom. We started with a standard bathroom layout and by building out into the large guest bedroom that was used as an office, we were able to create enough square footage in the bathroom without detracting from the bedroom aesthetics or function. We worked with the client on her specific requests and put all of the materials into a 3D design to visualize the new space.

By expanding the room slightly it gave us the needed space to relocate the toilet, the vanity and the entrance to the bathroom allowing for the wet room to have the full length of the new space. This bathroom includes a cedar sauna room that is incorporated inside of the shower, the custom cedar bench follows the curvature of the room's new layout and a window was added to allow the natural sunlight to come in from the bedroom. The aromatic properties of the cedar are delightful whether it's being used with the dry sauna heat and also when the shower is steaming the space. In the shower are matching porcelain, marble-look tiles, with architectural texture on the shower walls contrasting with the warm, smooth cedar boards. Also, by increasing the depth of the toilet wall, we were able to create useful towel storage without detracting from the room significantly. This entire project and client was a joy to work with.
