Eye-Land at White Oaks Savanna

CHRISTOPHER STROM ARCHITECTS

Eye-Land: Named for the expansive white oak savanna views, this beautiful 5,200-square foot family home offers seamless indoor/outdoor living with five bedrooms and three baths, and space for two more bedrooms and a bathroom. The site posed unique design challenges. The home was ultimately nestled into the hillside, instead of placed on top of the hill, so that it didn’t dominate the dramatic landscape. The openness of the savanna exposes all sides of the house to the public, which required creative use of form and materials. The home’s one-and-a-half story form pays tribute to the site’s farming history. The simplicity of the gable roof puts a modern edge on a traditional form, and the exterior color palette is limited to black tones to strike a stunning contrast to the golden savanna. The main public spaces have oversized south-facing windows and easy access to an outdoor terrace with views overlooking a protected wetland. The connection to the land is further strengthened by strategically placed windows that allow for views from the kitchen to the driveway and auto court to see visitors approach and children play. There is a formal living room adjacent to the front entry for entertaining and a separate family room that opens to the kitchen for immediate family to gather before and after mealtime.

1,31,005 Powder Room Design Ideas

A well-done powder room is a must have given its proximity to the kitchen and living room. Commonly known as the guest bathroom, half bath or common bathroom in India, it is likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members. The powder room is always on display and hence, must look its best. So consider browsing through these small bathroom designs for some inspiration.

What’s the best powder room layout?

While planning a small bathroom design, keep these three main objects in mind: the door, sink, and toilet. Pick layouts and small bathroom ideas which make the area feel more spacious. Install pocket or sliding doors to ensure you have more room to think about the placement of the other elements. Common bathrooms call for compact options like wall pedestal or wall-mounted sinks and toilets. Overall, even the layout of a powder room must provide enough space to move around and should not feel cramped.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There is not much space to experiment, so don’t try to incorporate too many small bathroom ideas all at once. Avoid mixing multiple patterns and textures in small bathrooms; using a bold mosaic tile backsplash and a patterned tile floor can be overwhelming. Instead, pick a statement element, such as the backsplash, countertop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else.

How do I decorate my small bathroom?

As with all small spaces, the common bathroom should be light and bright. Add a window or skylight to let the natural light in, otherwise use angled and ceiling lights with funky large mirrors to brighten up the space. Pay attention to smaller elements like faucets, hardware, and bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers to finish the look of your half bath.

Powder rooms or small bathrooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands so, keep in mind the ease of use and visual appeal while designing this space.
