A sleek and minimalist bathroom featuring dual sinks and a spacious walk-in shower.

The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Family Bathroom

Auch ein WC kann ein angenehmer Ort sein. Die Nische mit der indirekten Beleuchtung setzt einen angenehmen Akzent.

The lime-plastered walls exude vintage allure, Transforming the bathroom to rustic Moroccan pure. Raw and natural, its beauty is sublime, With wooden vanity and cane shutters, playful in time. Rustic copper tiles, worn out and aged, Add old charm, as if history's been engaged. Captivating and unique, this sanctuary stands, A blend of cultures, where elegance expands.
