The owner’s small bathroom contained a clawfoot tub used for showering, a single vanity, and an extra toilet hidden in a closed-off space behind the bathroom. The homeowners wanted to tap into that unused space to add a large steam shower.

Opening the walls to the hidden toilet created space for a steam shower and toilet room. To add space for his and hers closets the bathroom door was moved down, and to maintain the location of the windows a counter was lowered to create a dressing area. Storage for towels and sundries was designed as a standalone linen cabinet.

A large mirror captures natural light, warm grey plank flooring, large format white subway tile, and birch cabinetry mimics the warmth and rustic feel of the lake home.
