The countertops are a matte gray speckled quartz. “They look like concrete but have none of the upkeep issues,” Mattison says. The black undermount sinks are intended to fade into the background and are a low-maintenance option. “Top-mount sinks have grout lines where the sink meets the counter, and they tend to collect grime,” the designer says.
Nice mirrors. I like how they float above the interesting wall. And the spacing allows side lights. And the rounded corners add softness.
A single slab of glass. Interesting.
Low backsplash with other tile all the way up.
Short backsplash.
Cupboards to the ceiling.

We need this.
Drawer knobs and pulls are nice.

For us, push his/hers mirrors to edge of wall and up to sconces in wall. This allows max mirror while still allowing sconces to be in wall rather than drill in to mirror. See pic in Google
Sliding door can be similar to sliding shower door. Both as architectural elements.
Zellige tile for bathroom walls.
"sink stations" allow multiple tasks near the sink.
Nice Zellige tile backsplash is simple enough to go to the ceiling.

Chairs.
Fire pit made out of rock sitting in DG. Nice!
Nice island.
Just what we need.
That tile will wake you up.
Nice overall look. Nice floor.
I like the curbless shower. This is a must.
Nice that it can double as a table when needed. And metal design matches our table. Height is good for Adirondack chairs or similar that force us to "kick back."
Good flow on the floor and good definition of the shower area using tile. But... I'd prefer a bit more definition, I think by lowering the ceiling for the shower space.
Idea that a shower has its own space, partitioned from the rest of the room -- versus flowing into the shower. Ehh. Flow makes room seem bigger, while partitioning makes shower more intentional/special. Hmmm. I think I'd lean toward flow with a bit of partition.
If using a shower curtain, it could be hidden behind a tiled wall when not extended. Downside of going to the ceiling is we don't have rod to dry towels on. And not sure that eliminating the rod improves over this much. Rod could be decorative and interesting. Could hide curtain behind tiled wall when not extended. But wall would take up real estate needed for towel rack -- unless on the other side. We'll want a rack on both sides so don't have to hang over rod. And there's room for rack and small wall in West side. Assume that curtain dries, allowing us to collapse curtain behind wall. If not hanging towels over rod (ideal), then can have curtain go to ceiling as in the pic. It is kind of old worldy/interesting. Could have a hook on East side to hold towel. Curbless shower is a must. Question is whether to go with shower curtain w/out bar or sliding glass door. Curtain will make room seem bigger, more open.
Look at floor of shower. Cut down to contain water. And defines the area. And... can we simply cut/score top of tile to make slip resistant - while keeping same colors across the floor?
Some cupboards go to ceiling, some don't.
Walnut island works.
Cabinets to the ceiling, assisted by moulding.
Counter material wraps up the wall. Not so sure about that.
Shower without a door? Might be better. But windy? I'd have to enter shower, aim at wall, turn on, wait in the wind while it warms up.
Tile on wall is nice compliment.
Nice color scheme. Light floor with dark vanity, dark wall.
Cabinets to the ceiling.
Nice hood with shelf for oft-used cooking items.
Under tile heating and... you can avoid a cold tushie on solid-surface and tile seats by installing under-seat heating.
