Used a pendant light in Option A, and placed it above the sink so no wall space was needed. Included a wall-mounted faucet because it doesn’t require counter space. Included a vessel sink since it requires less space for the depth of the cabinet and counter top. Made bathroom door less wide to allow more depth for there sink cabinet in Option A and the floating counter in Option B.ĭesigned a custom cabinet for Option A and floating counter for Option B to accommodate the exact depth needed for the vessel sink.
The changes are subtle but will make a huge difference in both the design and functionality of the space.
See if you can tell the difference between the floor plan shown above and the revised one shown below. Because we’re working ahead through the design and the development of the interior elevations, i t allows us to be proactive and come up with beautiful solutions rather than a bandaid fix. If this was determined after construction started then we would be in a quandary and scrambling for a quick, easy fix. Turns out that the pedestal and wall-mounted sinks that are available, are either the wrong size, wrong style, or wrong color. In the floor plan design phase, it was decided that as long as we used a pedestal or wall-mounted sink, then the space would work well.įast forward to now, to the elevation stage, where we’re going from room to room, space to space, designing, sourcing and detailing. This space got reduced in size because of…well, a lots of reasons that we don’t have time to go into right now. To illustrate my point, let's take a look at the powder bathroom design for the Citrus Point Project, starting with the layout that’s shown on the “final” floor plan. POWDER BATHROOM DESIGN - CITRUS POINT PROJECT What is less evident, equally as important, but often overlooked is the design of the interior elevations.
They take concentrated effort and collaboration between the clients and their design team. With some of the layers being easily apparent, while others are more nuanced.įor example, the design of the floor plans are monumental and foundational to the progression of a project. Even after all these years in the industry, I still marvel at the many layers and complexities of the process. There’s no doubt about it, custom home design and build projects are a huge undertaking.
