BeforeProject Overview
The Challenge
The homeowners in this luxury Cary residence wanted to transform their dated master bathroom into a spa-like retreat. The existing layout felt cramped and inefficient, with a standard framed shower that blocked natural light and made the space feel smaller.
- • Inefficient space utilization
- • Poor natural light distribution
- • Outdated fixtures and finishes
- • Limited storage and functionality
- • Need for luxury spa-like experience
Client Goals
The clients sought a complete transformation that would maximize space, enhance natural light, and create a luxurious daily experience while maintaining functionality for long-term use.
- • Create spa-like luxury experience
- • Maximize natural light flow
- • Optimize space efficiency
- • Modern, timeless design aesthetic
- • High-quality materials and finishes
Interior Architect Expertise
Professional Interior Architect Leadership
Our certified Interior Architect led the design process, bringing professional expertise that goes far beyond typical contractor capabilities.
Space Planning & Analysis
- • Comprehensive spatial analysis and traffic flow optimization
- • Natural light studies and window placement considerations
- • Sight line analysis for visual connection with bedroom
- • Storage optimization and fixture placement planning
- • Accessibility and aging-in-place considerations
Design Development
- • Material selection and finish coordination
- • Color palette development for cohesive aesthetics
- • Lighting design integration with architectural elements
- • Custom millwork and built-in storage design
- • Integration with existing home architecture
Key Interior Architect Decision:
“The decision to relocate the shower to the corner position and use a completely frameless enclosure was crucial. This created an open sight line that makes the bathroom feel 40% larger while maximizing natural light distribution throughout the space.”
