Playful and relaxed, honoring classical Victorian elements with contemporary living for a modern young family.

Guest bath with tall ceiling, dropped paint line, accent penny tile, decorative pendant, painted shaker style vanity,

After years of use (and abuse) as the shared kids’ bathroom, this space was in need of a total transformation. The homeowners wanted an update that would be suitable for young adults and guests alike and, most importantly, they wanted finishes, fixtures and a style that would stand the test of time. We selected the dark gray porcelain floor tile not only for its timeless beauty, but also for its durability and low maintenance. Likewise, we chose porcelain tiles for the shower walls and installed them in a stacked pattern to the ceiling to make the room feel taller. The generous niche has ample room for bath essentials as well as plants that can bask in the natural light from the skylight overhead. To accommodate different storage needs, we opted for a vanity with both cabinet space and drawers. The quartz countertop perfectly complements the floors and was a great choice to boot because it’s so easy to clean and maintain.

The corner lot at the base of San Jacinto Mountain in the Vista Las Palmas tract in Palm Springs included an altered mid-century residence originally designed by Charles Dubois with a simple, gabled roof originally in the ‘Atomic Ranch’ style and sweeping mountain views to the west and south. The new owners wanted a comprehensive, contemporary, and visually connected redo of both interior and exterior spaces within the property. The project buildout included approximately 600 SF of new interior space including a new freestanding pool pavilion at the southeast corner of the property which anchors the new rear yard pool space and provides needed covered exterior space on the site during the typical hot desert days.

This client wanted something clean and contemporary without being cold or too modern. We used porcelain wood for the flooring to add warmth but keep it low maintenance. The shower floor is in a beautiful silver slate.
