Design inspiration
The design took cues from coastal beach houses, incorporating serene shades of blue and grey to evoke a calming atmosphere. Marble accents were added for a touch of elegance, while large windows were a central feature to enhance natural light. The staircase window was a unique design element that became a focal point, maximizing light and adding architectural interest.
The result
The primary ensuite was a standout, designed to center around the bathtub, with a large window framing views of the outdoors. A charming and unexpected touch occurred when the clients moved in—just as the cherry blossom tree in the backyard was in full bloom, creating a picturesque view through the bathroom window. This lovely surprise added an extra layer of beauty to the space.
