KBB’s 2017 Design Award Winner – Bathroom of the Year:
– Elma Yvette Gardner, CMKBD, BY DESIGN STUDIO, Inc.
Often it is the simplest designs that are the most luxurious; without all the complications of extra detailing and intricate textures, one can feel more relaxed. Designer Elma Gardner of Davis, Calif.-based By Design Studio took this outlook in a new-build bathroom meant to serve as a retreat.
“A sense of spa-like luxury with a minimalistic design aesthetic was the goal for this master bath suite,” said Gardner, explaining that the design reflects the desert landscaping outside of the home.
This home is built on a steep lot on a rocky ridge. To express the rugged nature of its setting, the master suite features rustic custom brick walls and soffits. These appear to have been carved from the side of the ridge, and they are used seamlessly from an exterior courtyard into the interior of the space.
Inside, the clients asked for a luxurious bathing and showering experience with dual vanities and expansive storage along with a number of less common requests.
