Things that come out: Fiske St. Master Bath

The existing master bathroom was cramped and un-inspired.
The vanity took up too much floor space in the tiny room.
See what I mean.




The new vanity floats, never touching the ground until it bends down to become the curb for the shower.

Wall tile: Ann Sacks
Sink: Duravit "Happy D"
Fixtures: Dornbracht "Tara"
Cabinetry: Custom designed by Shawna Poliquin, fabricated by Carpenter's Cabinets
Counter: Corian "Rice Paper"

Mirror and shower glass: Pacific Glassworks

The large plate mirror makes gives the illusion of depth and makes the room feel bigger.  The mirror also reflects the tiled walls, making it look like there is tile everywhere.  

I added 2 sunlights to bring light and ventilation into the room while maintaining privacy for the occupants.  The skylights are electric, venting skylights that close automatically when they sense raindrops.

Skylights: Velux LINK

A wall mounted toilet also preserves valuable floor space and makes it easier to mop.

Toilet: Duravit "Happy D"

Since most of the wall space was claimed by cabinetry or the shower, all the towel bars are mounted under the floating counter.





Limestone tile flows from the shower, over the curb, onto the floors and up the walls under the vanity to trick the eye into thinking the floor area is bigger than it really is.
