Project Concepts
Kids Bath
This renovation transformed a dark, cramped bathroom into a bright and inviting space designed for both function and fun. By flipping the layout, we created a seamless flow that makes the shower easily accessible for kids while offering more privacy for the toilet zone. A single sink was replaced with a spacious double vanity, perfect for busy mornings. Playful yet timeless finishes bring personality to the room, creating a space that’s as practical as it is cheerful—and one that will grow with the family for years to come.
Ensuite
This ensuite renovation reimagined an awkward layout by removing a misplaced walk-in closet, creating space for a four-piece bathroom with a freestanding tub. Challenging angles were carefully addressed to craft a wet-room style shower and tub zone, complete with a curbless shower, custom glass dividers, and a striking gradient tile accent wall that sets the tone for the space. High-end plumbing fixtures add quiet luxury and spa-inspired functionality, while a skylight and open layout fill the space with natural light, connecting the bathroom to the outdoors. A custom vanity and linen storage meet specific organizational needs, heated floors ensure year-round comfort, and a carefully planned lighting design provides both task functionality and atmospheric elegance making you want to linger a while longer.

Challenges & Solutions
Working with Rooms Natural Angles
The existing layout was one we don’t typically see. The family already had a walk-in closet (accessible in another area of the bedroom) so the second walk-in was not needed. Instead, they really wanted a four piece bathroom and an appealing place they could unwind at the end of a long day. The angles created a nice design challenge for our team that we worked through during Design and Pre-Construction and the new layouts worked really well for both bathrooms - everyone ended up loving them - even more once the spaces were completed.
Relocating Attic Hatch
Since the attic hatch was originally located in the walk-in closet we were removing, we needed to relocate the hatch to a new spot. This required opening up the ceilings in the bathrooms which is a messy phase when battling blown-in insulation. With a few different locations the hatch could live, we settled on moving it to the hallway for easier access in the future.
Challenging Tile Layout
Our biggest challenge was the tile layouts. We developed a very detailed set of drawings for our tile setter and for our homeowner to approve. Each tile was individually laid out according to our plan and more discussions were required to be had with our tile setter to ensure it was executed seamlessly. This also meant having our team present more than usual prior to tile beginning to support some of the tile organization for the tile setter - teamwork makes the dream work!
