Modern European Residence
Playing to the roots of the design, marble is a fixture of European styling. The main bathroom called for that approach through marble flooring, countertops, and shower tile. To achieve a subtle modernization with an old-world feel, the styling is softened with clean, architectural features and casework that delivers a blank canvas. In contrast, the creative use of ceiling treatments, light fixtures and tile stands out. The color palette is simple and in turn allows tile patterning to be a prominent focal point. This design called for this level of boldness to achieve the modern feel in a traditional home. An imaginative layout of the space supports the routines to prepare for the day. Connection from the bedroom to laundry and family foyer make an unhindered path to come and go with ease. Large windows with transoms and darkened mullions carry the floor pattern up framing the outdoor view that flushes the room with natural light. Drapery panels soften the tub area and add a layer of pattern to the room, while a hidden automatic shade provides privacy when required. Overall, the transitional background emanates a formal undertone that is relaxed with a comfortable elegance suitable to the client’s style.
