Part of a multi-phase remodeling project, Pomona is a new addition that creates a spa-like master bathroom for its fully work-from-home owners, and incorporates a new laundry room, separate toilet room, and direct access to the outdoors. In reconfiguring the original master bedroom, the old bathroom was transformed into a second closet.

The clients had a very clear vision and were very involved in the choice of materials, which informed the design of the spaces. The encaustic floor and the faceted wall tiles were chosen in advance of the project. A clean, crisp and light aesthetic guided the design.

Wherever possible, materials meet flush and seamlessly. The floating shower bench matches the stone of the countertop. The shower is separated by a single pane of glass from the vanity area and the floor slopes barrier-free from the freestanding tub to the linear drain. Clerestory windows wash the sloped ceiling in light and open the view to the sky. The ceiling line, mirrors, tile and glass all align to contribute to the serene feeling of the space. Solid hardwood drawer fronts on the custom floating vanity are carved in lieu of applied pulls.

Hidden electric features include outlets inside the center drawer, electric floor heat and towel warmers.

Landscape designer Cat Chang, of Madrone Design Studio designed the outdoor spaces and collaborated on a hot tub deck (not shown).
