Family Bathroom with Freestanding Tub & Skylight

A clerestory window lets sunlight into the primary bath without compromising privacy. The water closet and pivoting shower doors are fabricated from frosted glass. Large format porcelain slab walls mitigates the need for distracting grout lines.

There's a skylight over the sculptural freestanding soaking tub in the primary bath. Leon Lebeniste made the stool.

A slatted wood partition allows light to filter through the great room’s living space to the stairwell behind. A small lower level holds a wine cellar, media room, and office that leads outside.

“We spent a lot of time on the kitchen because we love to cook,” says Samantha.

The great room features floor-to-ceiling glazing to frame views of rolling hills, and opens to amphitheater steps that lead down the grassy slope.

The entry courtyard, protected by a corrugated concrete wall, is spacious enough to be turned into a hosting space. “The finely detailed courtyard with its hand-laid rows of cobblestone was drawn and executed like any other room in the house to further blur the boundary between inside and outside,” says principal Bryn Garrett of EYRC Architects. Samantha chose the Dwell x Chicory collection to outfit the outdoor lounge, its teak frame complementing the home’s ipe wood siding.

This boutique hotel on Norway's Manshausen Island is made up of four sea cabins—one of which juts out from a natural ledge. Each of them fit two to four travelers or a family of five.

“At night, the chalet is transformed. When it is dark, the mirror effect of the reflection of the interior space in the windows completely changes the cabin’s relationship to its site and makes it appear larger,” adds Rasselet.

The home’s original facade included wood board and batten finished in light gray and crossbuck designs. Worrell Yeung updated the exterior with a moss-inspired custom dark green finish.

The nine-acre property provides plenty of space for the couple’s two labradoodles, Jack and Leo, to roam

Lauren and Brittan Ellingson, the owners of Notice Snowboards, a custom snowboard and wakesurf company in Whitefish, Montana, approached Workaday Design and builder Mindful Designs to concoct a new lake home for their family. The brief was, perhaps unsurprisingly, focused on getting the family outdoors as much as possible.

In the living area, floor-to-ceiling windows by Schüco frame a Gyrofocus suspended rotating fireplace by Focus. At night, a crackling fire appears to hover in the dark.
