2016
Overview
In this master bath renovation, in the Woodlands, Texas, local designer Carla Aston customized a typical developer-designed bathroom to showcase the room's travertine marble floors. The leaded window replaced glass block installed by the developer. \"We wanted an uncluttered look, where the stone was the star,\" noted Ms. Aston. \"The creamy stained-glass design kept things simple and softer.\" Soap and water, too, call for a hands-free solution over a tub. \"Most people enjoy natural light but don't want to mess with opening and closing window treatments in a bathroom,\" she added. Translucent material lets light in while creating a retreat. \"Outdoor living is a classic tenet of Southern California design,\" said architect Deborah Richmond, who with former partner Olivier Touraine designed this house for themselves. \"We wanted as few barriers as possible between indoors and outdoors on the ground floor.\" And though the couple sought expansive views of their own garden, \"we did not necessarily want to commune with the sidewalk and our neighbors -- as cool and nice as they are -- all the time,\" said Ms. Richmond. So the pair planted a naturalistic screen of vegetation around the building to create a gentle buffer.
