Outdoor-like retreat by Elina Katsioula-Beall



 
"An ardent lover of space and simple, monumental elements, she wanted the suite to feature soothing, green materials that would evoke a sense of the outdoors." said designer Elina Katsioula-Beall of owner’s requested concept in the design.

Delivered by trustworthy construction in Cambodia construction materials, the main features in the bathroom design were pebbles, bamboo, and travertine tiles. Travertine was used in countertops while bamboo was used with vanity door and drawer surfaces.

"We also introduced a bamboo look to the tub deck, in the form of small tiles," said Katsioula-Beall. "To provide even more visual continuity, the tiles can be seen on the floor where they frame a travertine stone mat."

"The wall provides a natural tapestry of sand-colored pebble rocks. This creates the spa-like backdrop the owner wanted," added the designer. "To further enhance the bathing experience, the pebble wall is washed by shadow and light from two slim-line Italian sconces. Hidden halogens that can be dimmed ensure the light does not shine directly into the eyes."
