the main bathroom was to be a timeless, elegant sanctuary, to create a sense of peace within a busy home. We chose a neutrality and understated colour palette which evokes a feeling a calm, and allows the brushed brass fittings and free standing bath to become the focus.

Mixing contemporary style with traditional architectural features, allowed us to put a fresh new face, while keeping the familiar warm comforts. Multiple conversation areas that are cozy and intimate break up the vast open floor plan, allowing the homeowners to enjoy intimate gatherings or host grand events. Matching white conversation couches were used in the living room to section the large space without closing it off. A wet bar was built in the corner of the living room with custom glass cabinetry and leather bar stools. Carrera marble was used throughout to coordinate with the traditional architectural features. And, a mixture of metallics were used to add a touch of modern glam.

It was a down to the studs demo for this problematic bathroom so we could implement a more efficient and cohesive design.

The secondary bathroom is similar in size and layout to the master bedroom. As opposed to a bathtub, we opted for a bathtub for parents with young children.

Atelier 22 is a carefully considered, custom-fit, 5,500 square foot + 1,150 square foot finished lower level, seven bedroom, and seven and a half bath residence in Amagansett, New York. The residence features a wellness spa, custom designed chef’s kitchen, eco-smart saline swimming pool, all-season pool house, attached two-car garage, and smart home technology.

Keeping the integrity of the existing style is important to us — and this Rio Del Mar cabin remodel is a perfect example of that. For this special bathroom update, we preserved the essence of the original lathe and plaster walls by using a nickel gap wall treatment. The decorative floor tile and a pebbled shower call to mind the history of the house and its beach location. The marble counter, and custom towel ladder, add a natural, modern finish to the room that match the homeowner's unique designer flair.

This project consisted of a basement remodel that we tiled the bathroom and the fireplace. The bathroom included a full tiled shower floor, walls, wainscoting and bathroom floor. The fireplace is a stacked stone.
