maintaining the character of the existing bungalow was the number one request of the owner from the get-go so
we preserved as much of it as we good and tried to integrate the remodel not through mimicry but by respecting
the existing lines and intent of the space: built in cabinetry, similar materials with contemporary details, and
intentional transitions between old and new. below is the rendered view and some in-process shots of transitions
and cabinetry.
guest bath. minimalist. the owner chose the tile from ann sacks and we designed all of the fixtures to blend into
it. this room is small and the ceiling isn't very high so we wanted to make it feel as spacious as possible by
having a narrow, floor-to-ceiling window and keeping all of the fixtures free of the continuous concrete floor. the
drop-in tub actually sits in a cove on the floor of the existing house behind a set of built-in cabinets in the dining
room. it used to be the pantry of the old house and required some interesting floor arranging, but it is impossible
to tell from inside the space that you are spanning two different structures while bathing.
