A Contemporary Facelift

A much needed facelift was required for this small, Minneapolis bathroom. By removing the dated cabinetry and poorly working fixtures, we were able to bring a contemporary touch to the space.

The bathroom features a sleek and simple faucet and vessel sink that rests on a custom, wall mounted cabinet. The vanity, which almost appears to float above the floor, was designed to mount off three angled walls. The remnant granite countertop extends past a window with obscured glass and into the shower where it is used as a shelf for various bathing products.

At the base of the vanity, a “floor mat” of river rock is inlayed amongst the ceramic tile that massages the feet of the homeowner as he starts his day. Staying true to Green principles, we replaced the stool with a dual-flush toilet that uses half of the water of today’s typical low-consumption models, incorporated lighting that uses energy conserving compact fluorescent and halogen bulbs, and installed a nearly silent and energy efficient exhaust fan.
