Winnetka, IL residential makeover
A SPA-LIKE ABLUTIONARY SPACE
Javore & Associates allocated plenty of space for a master bath in this renovation/addition. Into that space we were able to allot separate areas for every ablutionary act. The intent was to create a restful, luxurious, spa-like space where privacy could be enjoyed away from a growing family.
3" thick limestone surface supports 2 under-counter sinks and rests on floating custom cabinetry. Sconces on either side of the sinks eliminate shadows when shaving or applying make-up. A soffit above the sinks provides fill light.
The stand-alone bathtub across from the wash area also floats, and both are illuminated to enhance the illusion. The limestone floor is interrupted in the center by a band of slate visually connecting the two "splashy" areas. Deco copper tile (seen in the mirror) tops the limestone slab above the bathtub and is repeated below the tub's rim. (see additional photo)
Right facing door leads to the privy, left to a large dressing room and closet. The tub is across from this wash area, the separate shower to it's left.
