THE CHALLENGE
Our client wanted a luxurious, stylish Master Bath to complete his existing master bedroom. This 1930’s style home was located in the North Shore neighborhood with the look and feel of a private estate feel. The home lacked the amenities and glamorous feel that he envisioned for his master bathroom, with the existing bath being small, dark and cramped. The location of the original bath prevented him from enlarging the bathroom in that same footprint. Mirrors on the walls and ceiling looked out of style and cold feeling. The galley type bath left no options for the desired whirlpool bath other than adding onto his home. A two story addition would be required in order to achieve the master bathroom he desired but this caused added concern, since he wanted the addition to blend into the charming character of his upscale neighborhood. He desired the look and feel of a private sanctuary with the flair of Roman looking pillars. |
THE SOLUTION
This project won a National Contractor of the Year award from NARI National. The Bartelt. The Remodeling Resource Design Team wanted to create a sense of elegance and Italian style, so our team designed a two story light-drenched turret, complete with Roman columns and tumbled marble finishes. The new entrance to the Master Bath replaces a second floor window with the entrance into this beautifully personal retreat. The clerestory windows now encircle the top of the turret walls and are set off by the fish-scale shingles on the exterior of the turret. This inviting and opulent Italian style master suite has a light and airy feel with a large custom armoire, and separate walk-in shower. A Kohler spun glass vessel sink was the perfect choice for the luxurious look of the Master Bath. The first floor addition was designed as a conservatory to accommodate a poker table for entertaining his friends. The addition to the back corner of his home now enhances his beautiful outdoor living and garden spaces. The copper topped turret, matches the existing details of his home.
