Un appartement des années soixante désuet manquant de charme et de personnalité, avec une cuisine fermée et peu de rangement fonctionnel. Notre solution : Nous avons re-dessiné les espaces en créant une large ouverture de l’entrée vers la pièce à vivre. D’autre part, nous avons décloisonné entre la cuisine et le salon. L’équipe a également conçu un ensemble menuisé sur mesure afin de re-configurer l’entrée et le séjour et de palier le manque de rangements. Côté cuisine, l’architecte a proposé un aménagement linéaire mis en valeur par un sol aux motifs graphiques. Un îlot central permet d’y adosser le canapé, lui-même disposé en face de la télévision. En ce qui concerne le gros-oeuvre, afin d’obtenir ce résultat épuré, il a fallu néanmoins reprendre l’intégralité des sols, l’électricité et la plomberie. De la même manière, nous avons créé des plafonds intégrant une isolation phonique et changé la totalité des huisseries. Côté chambre, l’architecte a pris le parti de créer un dressing reprenant les teintes claires du papier-peint panoramique d’inspiration balinaise, placé en tête-de-lit. Enfin, côté salle de bains, nous amenons une touche résolument contemporaine grâce une grande douche à l’italienne et un carrelage façon marbre de Carrare pour les sols et murs. Le meuble vasque en chêne clair est quant à lui mis en valeur par des carreaux ciment en forme d’écaille. Le style : Un camaïeu de beiges et de verts tendres créent une palette de couleurs que l’on retrouve dans les menuiseries, carrelages, papiers-peints, rideaux et mobiliers. Le résultat ainsi obtenu est à la fois empreint de douceur, de calme et de sérénité… pour le plus grand bonheur de ses propriétaires !

Inspired by the majesty of the Northern Lights and this family's everlasting love for Disney, this home plays host to enlighteningly open vistas and playful activity. Like its namesake, the beloved Sleeping Beauty, this home embodies family, fantasy and adventure in their truest form. Visions are seldom what they seem, but this home did begin 'Once Upon a Dream'. Welcome, to The Aurora.

This classic Tudor home in Oakland was given a modern makeover with an interplay of soft and vibrant color, bold patterns, and sleek furniture.

What little girl doesn't ask for a mermaid bathroom? This is our rendition of just that!

For a young family of four in Oakland’s Redwood Heights neighborhood we remodeled and enlarged one bathroom and created a second bathroom at the rear of the existing garage. This family of four was outgrowing their home but loved their neighborhood. They needed a larger bathroom and also needed a second bath on a different level to accommodate the fact that the mother gets ready for work hours before the others usually get out of bed. For the hard-working Mom, we created a new bathroom in the garage level, with luxurious finishes and fixtures to reward her for being the primary bread-winner in the family. Based on a circle/bubble theme we created a feature wall of circular tiles from Porcelanosa on the back wall of the shower and a used a round Electric Mirror at the vanity. Other luxury features of the downstairs bath include a Fanini MilanoSlim shower system, floating lacquer vanity and custom built in cabinets. For the upstairs bathroom, we enlarged the room by borrowing space from the adjacent closets. Features include a rectangular Electric Mirror, custom vanity and cabinets, wall-hung Duravit toilet and glass finger tiles.

Specific to this photo: A view of our vanity with their choice in an open shower. Our vanity is 60-inches and made with solid timber paired with naturally sourced Carrara marble from Italy. The homeowner chose silver hardware throughout their bathroom, which is featured in the faucets along with their shower hardware. The shower has an open door, and features glass paneling, chevron black accent ceramic tiling, multiple shower heads, and an in-wall shelf. This bathroom was a collaborative project in which we worked with the architect in a home located on Mervin Street in Bentleigh East in Australia. This master bathroom features our Davenport 60-inch bathroom vanity with double basin sinks in the Hampton Gray coloring. The Davenport model comes with a natural white Carrara marble top sourced from Italy. This master bathroom features an open shower with multiple streams, chevron tiling, and modern details in the hardware. This master bathroom also has a freestanding curved bath tub from our brand, exclusive to Australia at this time. This bathroom also features a one-piece toilet from our brand, exclusive to Australia. Our architect focused on black and silver accents to pair with the white and grey coloring from the main furniture pieces.

The bathrooms showcase gorgeous marble walls which contrast with the dark chevron floor tiles, gold finishes, and espresso woods. Project Location: New York City.
