Sharply sloped ceilings and low walls posed a challenge, as did the need for access to the HVAC unit that resided in an attic crawl space behind the bathroom walls. We began with a full gut, claimed some unused attic space, enclosed the open toilet area, added a soaking tub and frameless shower, and built a concealed attic access hatch within the wainscoting for HVAC servicing.
The finishes were specifically chosen to evoke memories of our clients’ honeymoon in Costa Rica, most notably represented by the bold blue walls, doors, and trim. Once the sun sets and the buzz of daily life dies down, a corner reading nook serves as a serene retreat for a mother of two young kids.
