Eichler in Marinwood - In conjunction to the porous programmatic kitchen block as a connective element, the walls along the main corridor add to the sense of bringing outside in. The fin wall adjacent to the entry has been detailed to have the siding slip past the glass, while the living, kitchen and dining room are all connected by a walnut veneer feature wall running the length of the house. This wall also echoes the lush surroundings of lucas valley as well as the original mahogany plywood panels used within eichlers. photo: scott hargis

Toilet room expands with use of bold color on one wall, adds depth to both rooms.

When we took on this renovation, there was a strange, elongated walk-in-shower. Since this bathroom was shared between 2 bedrooms, we suggested partitioning the odd shower and using the space to add a bathtub and a nice, large closet to make better use of the space.

This is one of my all time favorite bathrooms because of the clean lines and relaxing color palette. We found this beautiful irradescent back splash tile that we ran vertically in a square area between the corner tall cabinet and the open area to the right of the vanity. I love to run a mirror from countertop to ceiling to create an illusion of height. By using a permanent mirror we saved money on back splash tile but create the look of a wall of glass tile. The counter top is raw soapstone that we loved the concrete appearance of and did not want to oil it and lose the grey industrial finish. We also used large drawers in the floating vanity cabinet for a large amount of storage for any bathroom items. The floating tall cabinet has adjustable shelves and square doors. None of the cabinetry touches any of the perpendicular walls or flooring which made it easy to install and fit.

This small basement bathroom even includes a shower. This was accomplished by tiling everything and making the bathroom floor the shower floor.
