Northwest hills mid century BATHROOMS —
As a phase two for this home, APD was brought back to address the bathrooms and bedrooms of our Northwest Hills Mid Century project. While the hall bathroom was simple in scope - pull out what was old and replace with all new - the finished product is anything but simple. A walnut floating vanity takes center stage and grounds the space for all remaining selections. The enlarged penny tile in natural black basalt is a fresh and modern take on a very classic material while providing a functional foundation to the room. Modernity is continued in the updated scale in the herringbone marble shower tile, the warmth of which reflects back to the walnut vanity. With these elements, alongside the rich and warm brass finish on the plumbing, lighting, and cabinet hardware, the hall bathroom now shines as a welcoming room for guests!
The primary bedroom and bathroom are the showstoppers of this phase! Unused and awkwardly located closets in both the bedroom and bathroom were removed to make way for additional square-footage in the bath and replaced with a sizable and functional reach-in closet in the bedroom. A dated and cramped shower stall was removed in favor for an expansive step in shower spanning the width of the bathroom and a new transom window washes the room in natural light. While the previous bathroom was only able to accommodate a single vanity, the new layout allowed us to create double matching vanities mirrored across from each other - a much appreciated addition for a primary bath. Floating walnut vanities boast impressive storage and are capped with tower cabinets with hidden outlets for charging and storing electronic bathroom tools. While the color palette is restrained - black, white, gray, and brown - the result is a timelessly modern and masculine space that is at once striking and warm. Modern geometric patterns play with each other throughout the material selections.
Since we believe firmly in cohesive design, we encourage you to find elements from Phase 1 that are reimagined in Phase 2 (hint, there are a lot!), including the walnut slat detail used to accentuate garden windows in the guest bedrooms!
