The Project
Forty square feet borrowed from an adjacent closet turned a Plainsboro builder bath into a genuine retreat. A Victoria and Albert freestanding soaking tub, walk-in steam shower, dual rift oak vanities, Statuario marble throughout, and Nuheat radiant floors. Zero punch-list items at final walkthrough.
The original master bath was a single-vanity 9×10 room with a tub-shower combo that hadn't been updated since the home was built. The clients wanted a space that felt intentional — not just functional.
We borrowed 40 square feet from an adjacent unused closet, allowing us to introduce a freestanding soaking tub, a walk-in shower with steam, and dual vanities. The material palette — honed Statuario marble, warm-toned oak, and unlacquered brass — was selected to feel timeless without being cold.
The project was completed in six weeks with zero punch-list items at the final walkthrough.
