This former builder-grade bathroom was reimagined as a serene, spa-inspired retreat defined by craftsmanship, thoughtful detailing and timeless materials. Walls and ceiling are clad in delicate white zellige-look tile, adding depth, texture and a soft reflective quality while a custom double vanity with honed marble countertops anchors the space. Architectural continuity is achieved through a soaring natural white oak arched door, echoed by a custom oak beam above the freestanding soaking tub. Heated brushed marble herringbone flooring enhances comfort, while wall-mounted brass faucets, oversized brass-framed beveled mirrors and brass light switches reinforce a cohesive material story. The result is a calm, highly functional and enduring bathroom retreat. 

Why the judges love it:
Craftsmanship is the highlight of this bath. From the trim to the arched doorways, the woodworking is both highly functional and a major aspect of what makes this room so soft and sophisticated. This bath truly feels like a relaxing getaway that serves everyday function.
