studio bathroom

Because the primary bathroom receives little natural light, the designer employed Zellige shower tile that reflects light and offers texture.

An outdoor shower was installed in the space between the home's two boxes, as an unexpected sanctuary.

The primary bathroom has a large walk-in shower that can easily fit a walker or wheelchair. Green Centura tile covers the floors, while white subway tile is from Olympia Tile (leftover from former jobs at Ben Homes). The latter is also used in the kitchen and at the bar.

The Concrete Collaborative tiles are paired with bright yellow subway tiles. The encaustic pattern on the tiles—inspired by surf culture—

The second bathroom.

The redesigned primary bathroom features ‘Venice Sparse’ tiles from Concrete Collaborative. “My husband always wanted terrazzo, as he is a true midcentury fan,” says Leah, “and the one we ended up going with reminded me of the beach with some sand tones and beautiful almost sea glass chips in it.”

Family members have their own areas in the mudroom. Each is equipped with a hanging basket and a repurposed teak shower mat.

Emily designed the floating vanity and had it painted in Benjamin Moore 'Baked Terra Cotta,' with a Duravit sink top.

The couple raised the ceiling height in the main room of the bathroom, then lowered it in the shower to create a "jewel box

The girls’ bathroom features Concrete Collaborative Alabaster Large Pink Chip Terrazzo tile in a 12’ X 12” the floors. This is paired with Concrete Collaborative Strands tiles in the Pink Racing Stripe pattern on the shower walls.

The guest bathroom features a bold shower clad in the Strands x Dwell collection tiles in the Tails patterns. The color is inlaid into each concrete tile using pigmented cement—rather than glaze—a traditional process known as “encaustic” that creates a highly durable finish suitable for high-traffic zones. The floors are the Venice Quietude XSMC Tiles.

Bathroom

Adjacent to the kitchen, the home’s bathroom includes a curved corner shower, accessible lavatory, and a stacked washer-dryer unit.

The main bathroom walls and shower are clad in tile, and illuminated with a clerestory window.

“We value feeling over a perfect or manufactured finish,” says Kathryn, “so we jumped at anything touchy-feely, such as the droplet-like tiles cladding bathroom wing walls and structural columns that we are constantly petting.” Texture is at play everywhere, from a bathroom’s pebble-wash terrazzo floors that wrap up walls to the lush landscaping outside.

Danny kept things streamlined in the bathroom with a Duravit sink and a toilet by Toto. The sconces are from Cedar and Moss.

The lower-level bathroom enjoys a door to the outdoors so the family can enter directly after surfing. Green Emser tiles are arranged in a unique alternating pattern, and the shower floor is from Concrete Collaborative.
