geometric tile featuring a grid pattern contrasts with the organic nature of the large-aggregate black and white terrazzo flooring at this custom shower

This little coastal bathroom is full of fun surprises. The NativeTrails shell vessel sink is our star. The blue toned herringbone shower wall tiles are interesting and lovely. The blues bring out the blue chips in the terrazzo flooring which reminds us of a sandy beach. The half glass panel keeps the room feeling spacious and open when bathing. The herringbone pattern on the beachy wood floating vanity connects to the shower pattern. We get a little bling with the copper mirror and vanity hardware. Fun baskets add a tidy look to the open linen closet. A once dark and generic guest bathroom has been transformed into a bright, welcoming, and beachy space that makes a statement.

Elegant free-standing tub with wall mounted tub filler and built-in niche. Engineered quartz waterfall style backsplash.

We kept the original footprint, linen storage closet, and all the waffle glass features, just updated the finishes and fixtures.

Our clients came to us wanting to create a kitchen that better served their day-to-day, to add a powder room so that guests were not using their primary bathroom, and to give a refresh to their primary bathroom. Our design plan consisted of reimagining the kitchen space, adding a powder room and creating a primary bathroom that delighted our clients. In the kitchen we created more integrated pantry space. We added a large island which allowed the homeowners to maintain seating within the kitchen and utilized the excess circulation space that was there previously. We created more space on either side of the kitchen range for easy back and forth from the sink to the range. To add in the powder room we took space from a third bedroom and tied into the existing plumbing and electrical from the basement. Lastly, we added unique square shaped skylights into the hallway. This completely brightened the hallway and changed the space.

The Philadelphia region is one filled with gorgeous stone colonial architecture but a family with a more modern aesthetic and a contemporary home was having trouble finding a design and build firm who could bring their desired Scandinavian bathroom renovation to life. Fritz Carpentry and Contracting worked with the client to select contemporary finishes including vertically stacked white subway tile, mid-century era lighting, terrazzo tile floors and modern fixtures. The bathroom was warmed and completed by a custom designed and handcrafted walnut floating vanity with white quartz countertop from Fritz Studios.
