A Contemporary Bathroom
Bathrooms of yesteryear were simply utilitarian. On a tour of Colonial Williamsburg, they called it “the necessary.” Today, we expect bathrooms to have multiple functions. In this remodeled townhouse in Pebble Beach, the original 1970’s master bathroom was awkwardly divided into a series of small compartments, closets, and vanities. TJC’s design opened up the bathroom suite with a large tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and two sinks in a corner counter with large mirrors. The high rectangular windows bring in more natural light while providing privacy. The former storage rooms and cabinets were combined into a large walk-in closet with a dressing area.
The new windows and subdued colors give the appearance of a larger space. The wall tile at the tub and shower is cut from larger pieces of calcatta marble. The floor tile is cut from larger limestone pieces and laid out in a unique pattern. One guest who had seen the “before” bathroom asked: “Did you add on to make this room larger?” No, we just organized the existing space more effectively. Thanks to the superb work by Groza Construction, everyone is pleased with the results. The former dark and divided space has become a bright and open spa.
