“The directive was to create a soothing, earthy feel with natural light. The client has an affinity for the color green.”
— Eric Goetz, Blue Star
| The bathroom was poorly laid out, with a toilet occupying center stage and a small pedestal sink stuck in a corner behind the tub. | The soaking tub and shower are combined in a wet area at one end of the room. Appropriating an adjacent walk-in closet made room for a double vanity on the former tub wall as well as a private WC. |
| Limited light came through narrow windows at each end of the space. | Double casement windows replaced the narrow ones, admitting more light into the room. |
| Boring white wall tiles and dark tile floors made the bathroom feel dingy and dated. | An eye-catching material palette includes glazed, green ceramic Zia tiles on two walls. Floors and other walls are clad in random-cut, terrazzo-look porcelain tile from Vives by Grof. A walnut vanity sporting brushed-brass hardware is topped by a quartz counter. |
