A tale of two master suites
I am drawing out two master baths this weekend. I don't do too many of them and I enjoy the challenge when I get one. The first is an exercise in more and my client wants me to use this image as an inspiration photo.
I do not adore it, however no one can pay me to like what I layout. When it is finished, it will be cute and tasteful and my customers will love it. Their buddies will too and for a whole lot of humans, a master bath like this is something they aspire to.
Not me guy, my myth grasp tub is one just like the second layout I am doing for some other consumer. In my coronary heart of hearts I'm a minimalist and so is customer variety . Even even though I will pour myself into both projects, venture number two will fulfill me extra because it moves so near what I like.
I like minimalism as it doesn't offer any distractions or locations to cover. In a minimalist placing, a few one's by myself together with his mind and for me this is a non violent and exciting aspect. I get it that not each one's stressed that way however after years of thinking about why I'm so attracted to the varieties of room settings that lots of human beings think of as cold, I've come to the realization that it is because I like my personal agency.
Anyhow, master bath number two is going to be as clean and unencumbered as I can make it. For years now, I've loved the shower systems made by Chicago-based LaCava . In particular a pan system they call the Tatami .
The Tatami is a chain of fluted, porcelain blocks that sit in a shallow pan. This lets in for a smooth and seamless transition from the floor in the room to the bathe. Because this transition has been so smoothed out, it lets in a dressmaker to re-think the entire concept of a bath enclosure. The lower left example on this diagram shows how the Tatami works in cross section.
The shower installation I'm working on has a single, clear glass splash guard that will be about 4 toes wide and run from the floor to the ceiling. That's it. Just a single sheet of glass at the end of the room with the Tatami device on the ground.
This is type of my idea for this shower. Sort of. Only in my plan, I'm going to use a unmarried sheet of glass and go away it open at both ends. With a unmarried bathe head within the ceiling I can do this. Talk approximately minimalism. When this bathe's not in use it's going to all but disappear.
Master bathtub number two is a lot extra difficult to design due to the fact I can not depend on any of my usual hints to make flaws within the shape of the room disappear. It calls for me to think about each finish and each fixture because the few objects within the room need to paintings together to feature to the sense that the room's empty.
I have no idea what I'm going to do with the vanity yet and I'm sitting here wondering this morning. I'm wondering how to pare down the idea of a bathroom vanity until it's just that, the pure idea of a bathroom vanity. How do I suggest utility without sacrificing utility at the same time?
There are times once I love what I do for a living, and having the possibility to assume like this on a Sunday morning is truely one of those times.
So what can we suppose? Am I out of my thoughts? Anybody have a competing master suite philosophy?
