Conceived of as a C-shaped house with a small private courtyard and a large private rear yard, this new house maximizes the floor area available to build on this smaller Palo Alto lot. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) integrated into the main structure gave a floor area bonus. For now, it will be used for visiting relatives. One challenge of this design was keeping a low profile and proportional design while still meeting the FEMA flood plain requirement that the finished floor start about 3′ above grade. The new house has four bedrooms (including the attached ADU), a separate family room with a window seat, a music room, a prayer room, and a large living space that opens to the private small courtyard as well as a large covered patio at the rear. Mature trees around the perimeter of the lot were preserved, and new ones planted, for private indoor-outdoor living.

A bold, elegant retreat complete with a large walk in shower clad in an eye catching Afyon Violet marble. The design team was able to incorporate a new private toilet room and delicate soaker tub that sits upon the timeless herringbone marble floors. The classically design walnut cabinetry with red undertones balances out the more brazen, plum hued pattern of the wall tile. The single, solid pewter urban electric wall sconce makes a refined industrial statement while breaking up the large expanse of the mirror.

Franklin Street Loft - Bathroom

Jane Kim Architect

Photography by Eduard Hueber / archphoto North and south exposures in this 3000 square foot loft in Tribeca allowed us to line the south facing wall with two guest bedrooms and a 900 sf master suite. The trapezoid shaped plan creates an exaggerated perspective as one looks through the main living space space to the kitchen. The ceilings and columns are stripped to bring the industrial space back to its most elemental state. The blackened steel canopy and blackened steel doors were designed to complement the raw wood and wrought iron columns of the stripped space. Salvaged materials such as reclaimed barn wood for the counters and reclaimed marble slabs in the master bathroom were used to enhance the industrial feel of the space.

Mid-Century Row-home

Lisa & Leroy

Every inch counts in a dc rowhome, so we moved the powder room from where the kitchen island is to the right side of the kitchen. It opened up the space perfectly and still gave the homeowners the function of a powder room. And the lovely exposed brick... swoon.

Modern Bath in old house

Michael Tauber Architecture

This tight spaced bath room was made to feel larger through the use of up and down light in a cove in the mirrored wall hung medicine cabinet and through a frameless glass shower enclosure. Space under the sink serves as towel storage and multi level roll out shelf provides additional storage near the sink. Photo: Bay Area VR - Eli Poblitz
