The shower and bath tub share an area to make the bathroom feel more spacious. Acid-etched glass allows light to spill in from the bedroom while at the same time providing privacy. A subtle texture of mosaic tiles compliments the clean lines of the solid-surface materials, which encloses the bath tub and bench. Photo Credit: Scott Frances

Firm: Intexure Architects Project: Tripartite House Location: Houston, Texas Products: Axor Uno,

Innovative and extravagant, this River House unit by Visbeen Architects is a home designed to please the most cosmopolitan of clients. Located on the 30th floor of an urban sky-rise, the condo presented spacial challenges, but the final product transformed the unit into a luxurious and comfortable home, with only the stunning views of the cityscape to indicate its downtown locale. Custom woodwork, state-of-the-art accessories, and sweeping vistas are found throughout the expansive home. The master bedroom includes a hearth, walk-in closet space, and en suite bath. An open kitchen, dining, and living area offers access to two of the home’s three balconies. Located on the opposite side of the condo are two guest bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, the laundry, and a home theater. Facing the spectacularly curved floor-to-ceiling window at the front of the condo is a custom designed, fully equipped refreshment bar, complete with a wine cooler, room for half-a-dozen bar stools, and the best view in the city.
