Bethesda, Maryland Contemporary Master Bath Design by #MeghanBrowne4JenniferGilmer http://www.gilmerkitchens.com/ Photography by John Cole

This residence was designed to have the feeling of a classic early 1900’s Albert Kalin home. The owner and Architect referenced several homes in the area designed by Kalin to recall the character of both the traditional exterior and a more modern clean line interior inherent in those homes. The mixture of brick, natural cement plaster, and milled stone were carefully proportioned to reference the character without being a direct copy. Authentic steel windows custom fabricated by Hopes to maintain the very thin metal profiles necessary for the character. To maximize the budget, these were used in the center stone areas of the home with dark bronze clad windows in the remaining brick and plaster sections. Natural masonry fireplaces with contemporary stone and Pewabic custom tile surrounds, all help to bring a sense of modern style and authentic Detroit heritage to this home. Long axis lines both front to back and side to side anchor this home’s geometry highlighting an elliptical spiral stair at one end and the elegant fireplace at appropriate view lines.

Dividing the walk-in shower and seamlessly connecting the closet and bathroom, these beams create a striking visual impact

Transitional bathrooms and utility room with a coastal feel. Accents of blue and green help bring the outside in.

When designing this kitchen update and addition, Phase One had to keep function and style top of mind, all the time. The homeowners are masters in the kitchen and also wanted to highlight the great outdoors and the future location of their pool, so adding window banks were paramount, especially over the sink counter. The bathrooms renovations were hardly a second thought to the kitchen; one focuses on a large shower while the other, a stately bathtub, complete with frosted glass windows Stylistic details such as a bright red sliding door, and a hand selected fireplace mantle from the mountains were key indicators of the homeowners trend guidelines. Storage was also very important to the client and the home is now outfitted with 12.

Clever tile and tapware choices combine to achieve an elegant interpretation of an 'industrial-style' bathroom. Note the clever design for the shaving cabinets, which also add light and a luxurious touch to the whole look, handy niches for storage and display, as well as the practical addition of a laundry basket to ensure the bathroom remains uncluttered at all times. The double showers and vanity allow for a relaxed toillette for both users.
