Welcome to our Master Suite Tour. This portion of our 1927 Spanish Revival home is a 10 year old addition and renovation.
This structure was constructed of :
14" beams from a 1810's hospital. They have an original patina and are hand hued.
Warehouse window walls: A complicated iron and thick glass wall structure by the brilliant boys(Matt and Will) at Greenbottle Workshop.
The wall construction was made all on site from individual pieces of iron. Nothing prefab. The doors next to the bed are to die for. They pivot in the center
The hearth idea used in the kitchen was repeated in the master bedroom. It is constructed of concrete block and the exterior stucco finish. The short wall extensions create an alcove for the bed and side tables. It visually anchors the room.
Wood washed walls create a horizontal shadow line between each piece of wood. One of my favorite things about the master suite. The horizontal line starts at the entry door and continues throughout the bedroom into, the tub area, shower room, closet and laundry area.
The glass walls ARE the room. You look out and see the beautiful architectural elements of the house. The room may not be Spanish Colonial Revival, but you see all those elements through the windows.
Peacock Pavers, a limestone look with a wonderful color and texture, become the flooring.
The stained plank wood walls that create horizontal lines that flows from the entry area, they wraps the walls. Briefly appearing in the master bedroom, they continue through the bath area and into the master closet; a great unifying texture.
Master Bath:
The indirect lighting comes from windows on the side and the wire-glass skylight overhead. The polished nickel mirrors are properly placed at a slight angle. The wall mounted unlacquered sterling silver faucets are classic in style and the hand carved travertine sinks repeat the egg-shell shape of the adjacent Waterworks tub.
The sinks sit atop a travertine slab floating in the space. The back splash is composed of tiny cream-colored polished stones. They have a high sheen and sparkle ever so slightly as the light changes throughout the day.
The incandescent lighting for the space is provided by two polished nickel deco light fixtures above each opening. They have frosted glass and allow the area to glow at night. An added bonus is that they illuminate the outdoor sculpture garden.
The tub is the famed .25 tub by Waterworks. It was order in the Ivory color, which I believe is more rare that the stark White.
It's a thing of beauty, with strong, sculptural lines and delicate "eggshell" profile.
One thing you can't tell from this picture is how soft it is to the touch. I mean like a baby's skin soft! Velvet. It's like bathing in suede.
The tub's surface absorbs the warm temperature of the water almost upon contact.
Taking a bath is womblike. Relaxing. It takes you in and holds you. All those troubles just melt away....
The closet and the master bathroom are adjacent spaces. They occupy what was the original kitchen, laundry room,and breakfast room as well as the addition of a room for the Tub to set.
There is a two-way mirror installed and it is always on and we use it as a night light of sorts.
I love the wood floors in the bathroom. There are always warm and are seldom effected by water for the tub room has Peacock Pavers.
The baskets are all organized and filled with out of season clothing.
The drawer unit has cedar drawers. It is one of my favorite things in the house. Anything stored in there smells so good, t-shirts, etc.
The wood walls are wonderful too. there were specially milled 1 by 6 tongue in groove, clear pine. The tongue was made longer to create an 1/8" gap between the joints. A very elegant statement. The stain gives an informal feel to the space. These two factors help create a great balance of design.
