The homeowner of this Central West End home is no stranger to hosting. Looking for the perfect powder room for guests who attend his extravagant outdoor pool parties, he turned to Castle Design to create a ‘seductive yet playful’ space. Working around the carriage house’s original footprint, the team created a new floor plan to maximize the space while maintaining important utility features. Glossy metals and fanciful patterns offer a sophisticated take on a nautical theme. Cole & Sons Fornasetti wallcovering features an underwater setting and ties into the fish scale-like mosaics on the powder room floor.

Why the judges love it: Careful planning and meaningful details allow the unique theme of this powder room to shine. From the juxtaposition between the floor and the fixtures, to the inventor-like feel of the design, this room allows multiple elements to work in perfect harmony.
