About the Winning Projects

After photo Regional CotY Award Winning Bathroom

For 39 years, the owners of this four bedroom home lived with a cramped bathroom that hardly deserved to be called a master bath.  Its limited space allowed only one user at a time, lacked counterspace, and was severely outdated.

The new design is the ultimate marriage of function and style. To start, the space from a seldom used spare bedroom was captured.  A custom floating vanity provides much needed counterspace and storage. Multiple light sources provide task, ambient light and natural light.

A claw foot tub serves as the focal point and inspiration for the rest of the finishes. A crystal chandelier and wall sconces add an elegant “bling factor”.  The curves of the vessel sinks balance nicely with the straight lines of the vanity.  A spa shower provides a soothing option for days when the owner opts for a faster bathing option.

This family’s basement had become a catch-all space and was sorely underutilized. Although it was spacious, the current layout wasn’t working. The homeowners wanted to transform this space from closed and dreary to open and inviting.

The transformation of this basement is amazing. Walls were opened to create flow between the game room, eating space and theater rooms. One end of a staircase was closed off, enabling the soundproofing of the theater.

A light neutral palette and gorgeous lighting fixtures make you forget that you are in the basement. Unique materials such as galvanized piping, corrugated metal and cool light fixtures give the space an industrial feel.

Now, this basement functions as the great family hang out space the homeowners envisioned!
