Much of the Fishers’ electricity now comes from solar energy generated by their Timberline Solar roof. This solar roof not only reliably protects the home, but often also means lower monthly energy costs. These savings—alongside tax credits—translate into a smart new roof investment that can pay for itself over time.

Jennifer and Scott work in software and education technology, and have the ability to work from home. Their move to Texas was motivated by a desire to take full advantage of the benefits of remote working and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.

The bathroom has been entirely clad in large Fior di Bosco marble panels, creating a simple backdrop for the arrangement of plants overlooked by the tub.

The bathroom floor is covered in Porcelanosa Boston Stone.

"We really wanted to enhance natural lighting so the shower has a skylight in it to luminate the space during the day," Frank Lin says. The spa-like space includes concrete countertops, antique white oak cabinets, and limestone tile floors.

The lower floor houses a spa, gym, and office. A built-in bathroom by Espace Cuisine includes a sauna.

Bathroom

In the bathroom, the teal mosaic tile hug the curves of the walls, ceiling, and built-in shelving.

Architect Philippe Baumann’s New York home has an upstairs shower with a perforated, galvanized-steel platforms, and an operable skylight above that brings out the best in the aqua green tiles.

An updated bathroom features a mix of tiles: Carrara marble tiles on the floor, green subway tiles from Heath Ceramics on the inner shower walls, and white subway tiles from Daltile on the exterior walls. The fixtures are from Grohe.

The addition of a skylight lets sunlight wash over jade-green tile that's laid in a herringbone pattern in the bathroom.

The selection of pale wood for the bathroom vanity helps to maintain a light and airy quality for the space.

Now, a walk-in shower and soaking tub are tucked under the roof line.

The original ensuite featured an awkward triangular shower, and was, as Daniel recalls, “the size of a closet. It looked like a powder room.” Clever use of millwork redirected the light from the skylight away from the bedroom and into the bathroom.

The maroon-tiled, walk-in shower has two showerheads and is well lit by a skylight from above.
