Our clients wanted to add on to their 1950's ranch house, but weren't sure whether to go up or out. We convinced them to go out, adding a Primary Suite addition with bathroom, walk-in closet, and spacious Bedroom with vaulted ceiling. To connect the addition with the main house, we provided plenty of light and a built-in bookshelf with detailed pendant at the end of the hall. The clients' style was decidedly peaceful, so we created a wet-room with green glass tile, a door to a small private garden, and a large fir slider door from the bedroom to a spacious deck. We also used Yakisugi siding on the exterior, adding depth and warmth to the addition. Our clients love using the tub while looking out on their private paradise!

This view of the bathroom shows the minimal look of the room, which is created by the help of the tile choice. The lighter grey floor tiles look great against the darker tiles of the bath wall. Having a wall hung drawer unit creates the sense of space along with the sit on bowl. The D shaped bathe also creates space with its curved edges and wall mounted taps. The niche in the wall is a great feature, adding space for ornaments and draws you to the large wall tiles. Having the ladder radiator by the bath is perfect for having towels nice and warm, ready for when you step out after having a long soak!
