Last year, a client contacted us about renovating her 1920s Spanish Revival home in San Pedro, California. The house still retains much of its original architecture, and our objective was to renovate it with respect for its integrity while also modernizing it.
One of the first designs I worked on, was a tiny bathroom off the master bedroom. We needed to accommodate a larger vanity and extend the shower into a neighboring closet.
The basic house drawing plan started like this:
Because it was a very tight distance between the sink at the vanity and the toilet, I suggested off-centering the sink, so there is more space when standing at the vanity. The new floor plan showcases a larger shower that went into an existing closet and the off-centered sink creating more usable countertop space.
For the vanity design, the client found a vanity style she liked and I replicated it to create a custom floating vanity. We incorporated a mirror that complements the Spanish Revival style and a lantern for sconces inspired by a concept photo I had suggested.
For the finish selections, I created a concept board inspired by a photo and incorporated color and concrete tiles with a pattern to compliment the Spanish style to make this small bathroom truly stand out.
