A bathroom is the one place in the house where our every day begins and comes to a close. It needs to be an intimate and sensual sanctuary inviting you to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate and this contemporary guest bathroom was designed to exude function, comfort, and sophistication in a tranquil private oasis.

In 2014, we were approached by a couple to achieve a dream space within their existing home. They wanted to expand their existing bar, wine, and cigar storage into a new one-of-a-kind room. Proud of their Italian heritage, they also wanted to bring an “old-world” feel into this project to be reminded of the unique character they experienced in Italian cellars. The dramatic tone of the space revolves around the signature piece of the project; a custom milled stone spiral stair that provides access from the first floor to the entry of the room. This stair tower features stone walls, custom iron handrails and spindles, and dry-laid milled stone treads and riser blocks. Once down the staircase, the entry to the cellar is through a French door assembly. The interior of the room is clad with stone veneer on the walls and a brick barrel vault ceiling. The natural stone and brick color bring in the cellar feel the client was looking for, while the rustic alder beams, flooring, and cabinetry help provide warmth. The entry door sequence is repeated along both walls in the room to provide rhythm in each ceiling barrel vault. These French doors also act as wine and cigar storage. To allow for ample cigar storage, a fully custom walk-in humidor was designed opposite the entry doors. The room is controlled by a fully concealed, state-of-the-art HVAC smoke eater system that allows for cigar enjoyment without any odor.

This luxury bathroom was created to be functional and elegant. With multiple seating areas, our homeowners can relax in this space. A beautiful chandelier with frosted lights create a diffused glow through this dream bathroom with a soaking tub and marble shower.

Every powder room should be a surprise, a departure even from the rest of the home. Welcome to this little jewel with it's metallic grasscloth and deeply beveled, oversized gold mirror. The vanity was fabricated according to custom specification, of Michelangelo Calacatta Marble. Floating above the floor, this small room has a much larger feel. Photography by Holger Obenaus

Vinyl covered walls in the powder room protects from moisture—and kid paws—and lends a beach-y, sandstone texture to the room. Polished concrete flooring carries out to the pool deck connecting the spaces, including a cozy sitting area flanked by a board form concrete fireplace, and appointed with comfortable couches for relaxation long after dark. Poolside chaises provide multiple options for lounging and sunbathing, and expansive Nano doors poolside open the entire structure to complete the indoor/outdoor objective.

The heavily paneled honey stained door with bronze hardware and crystal knob provide entry into this Italian Country inspired powder room. Ivory plaster walls serve as a backdrop to the traditional painting depicting the Italian countryside. Tucked below the arched ceiling detail is a custom vanity wearing a distressed and glazed blue stain. The exposed hinges and bronze cabinet pulls give Old World charm as does the wood top, which is stained to match the room’s door and moldings. Above the wood top sits an additional top made of durable Quartzite. The metal sink, polished nickel faucet and Venetian mirror and sparkle. The toilet in biscuit is by Kohler.

Luxuriously finished bath with steam shower and modern finishes is the perfect place to relax and pamper yourself. Complete with steam shower and freestanding copper tub with outstanding views of the Elk Mountain Range.

The powder room, adjacent to the mudroom, received a facelift: Textured grass walls replaced black stripes, and existing fixtures were re-plated in bronze to match other elements. Custom light fixture completes the look.

The Bathroom layout is open and linear. A long vanity with medicine cabinet storage above is opposite full height Walnut storage cabinets. A new wet room with plaster and marble tile walls has a shower and a custom marble soaking tub.

La parete principale del bagno è stata realizzata con ceramiche decorative bianche, in accostamento alla carta da parati che valorizza lo spazio doccia. Il tema del bagno è la natura, richiamata nelle trame floreali della ceramica e nei disegni di paesaggi alberati grigi su sfondo bianco della carta da parati. I toni neutri e naturali si ritrovano anche nel rivestimento a pavimento in parquet e nel colore tenue acqua marina del mobile lavabo. La gola luminosa si riversa sulla parete del lavabo, esaltando i rilievi delle piastrelle in ceramica.
