For this ski-in, ski-out mountainside property, the intent was to create an architectural masterpiece that was simple, sophisticated, timeless and unique all at the same time. The clients wanted to express their love for Japanese-American craftsmanship, so we incorporated some hints of that motif into the designs. The highlight of the master bathroom is the mosaic wall tile, a polished onyx and marble design of peaceful floating lily pads, symbolic of nature’s restorative properties. Unique copper fixtures warm up the space while chromatically integrating with the home’s walnut woods, with the walnut cabinetry and open shelving, and nicely complement the dual-finish mocha tub and the black quartzite shower slab. The slab is book matched, creating a stunning effect. Flooring and sinks in matching limestone, curved vanity mirrors and onyx with bronze sconces complete the contemporary design. Functional additions include towel warmers, fog-free shaving shower mirror, steam shower and heated floors.

Downstairs master bathroom. The Owners lives are uplifted daily by the beautiful, uncluttered and highly functional spaces that flow effortlessly from one to the next. They can now connect to the natural environment more freely and strongly, and their family relationships are enhanced by both the ease of being and operating together in the social spaces and the increased independence of the private ones.

Primary bathroom in Carbondale Colorado.

We designed this Master Bathroom to incorporate natural yet elegant materials, including mahogany cabinetry, limestone countertops, chevron wood veneer wallpaper, brass pulls and polished nickel plumbing fixtures.

The Master Bathroom includes a 2-sink vanity with wall-mounted faucets, freestanding tub and a spacious corner shower with dual-shower heads. Hardware is a mix of bronze and black, bringing that industrial look up to the second floor.

The large guest bathroom resulted from combining two smaller spaces. This room services both guest bedrooms. As for the master bathroom, hand-cut glass mosaic tiles were used to create a mural inspired by tropical flora and fauna. An antique Chinese box is echoed by the vanity’s lacquered chair. A gold-leafed glass vessel ties in the deeper shades of the mosaic tiles.
