Architect Aarne Ervi built the classic Villa Koivikko in 1958 on a lakeside just outside Helsinki. When Studio Petra Majantie and Oopeaa recently restored the building, they had to design the bathroom without the home’s original plans. They used matte-glass mosaic flooring, ceramic tiles matching the living area's hearth, and copper fixtures. High windows let in a lot of natural light, but they added undercabinet lighting and built-in cabinet lighting to create a beautiful balance.

Just off the kitchen, Bertoia chairs line a Vaarnii wood table from Matter.

The green Peppa light is by Canadian brand Hamster.

Earthy tiles by Heath Ceramics surround the alcove bathtub with custom wood millwork.

An IKEA vanity has Semihandmade cabinet doors, with a Kohler Elate deck mounted faucet at the sink. Nemo Strada floor tile complements Popham cement tiles in the shower, now lit by a skylight.

A dilapidated built-in had to be removed, and Lee swapped in a floating storage unit and shelf in its place, wrapped in the original wood casework for contrast.

Stephanie tapped frequent collaborator Olson Brothers Construction to fabricate new cabinets from Fir, with reclaimed tongue-and-groove on select fronts. The couple saved money by having Sam complete the cabinets with an oil-rubbed finish, which took "a couple weeks and a couple coats,
