A Mountain Modern Bathroom that feels as luxurious as it looks. A floating ottoman in indoor/outdoor chenille to relax on after a steam or a soak in your egg tub. His and Her vanities for maximum storage and comfort.

This teenagers bathroom was concieved to sense a very fresh and modern look. I purchased the stone for the counter in Walker Zanger. I selected for the wall staggered tiles 2X6 in carrara polished by Waterworks. The sink was purchased in Duravit while the sink fittings are from exclusive brand Waterworks. The Cabildo light sconces are produced by Artemide. Photo by Jorge Taboada

Designed as gallery, studio, and residence for an artist, this house takes inspiration from the owner’s love of cubist art. The program includes an upper level studio with ample north light, access to outdoor decks to the north and south, which offer panoramic views of East Austin. A gallery is housed on the main floor. A cool, monochromatic palette and spare aesthetic defines interior and exterior, schewing, at the owner’s request, any warming elements to provide a neutral backdrop for her art collection. Thus, finishes were selected to recede as well as for their longevity and low life scycle costs. Stair rails are steel, floors are sealed concrete and the base trim clear aluminum. Where walls are not exposed CMU, they are painted white. By design, the fireplace provides a singular source of warmth, the gas flame emanating from a bed of crushed glass, surrounded on three sides by a polished concrete hearth.
