Singular Space Category, with the entry of a combination remodel and
new construction addition of a northeast
This northeast
Her first
responsibility was to design a master bedroom suite - a retreat -
appropriate to meet her client's lifestyle. She designed the
floor plan, cabinets, materials and color scheme for this addition
to accommodate the client's desire for a private and luxurious
master bedroom wing added to their existing residence. She
utilized the old sun porch through the living room French doors to
access this area. They own and love horses so approved the art
that was selected.
Kathy designed the
fascia for both fireplaces using a column architectural design and
repeated the column motif at the sitting room windows and the
bathroom vanity area for continuity.
The ceiling in the
sitting room posed a problem for lighting because it was poured
cement. She designed the layered ceiling to accommodate the
recessed lighting and perimeter ambiance strip lighting. A
special bronze mirrored arched alcove highlights a prized sculpture.
Kathy designed leaded glass doors for the beverage bar area in the
hall passage to the bedroom.
Kathy designed the
master bedroom to feature a lighted tres ceiling, soft window
treatments and architectural detail in the cabinets around the
fireplace that accommodate a T.V. over the fireplace and stereo
equipment to the sides of it. Storage is in the second arched
cabinet area. The closet area of the master bedroom is located
behind the partial bed wall that separates the bedroom area.
In all the areas,
Kathy specified every finish: using antiqued wood trim and cabinetry
detail as well as hardware for the doors. Crema Marfil
surrounds are on both fireplaces. Antique walnut 3/4" flooring
in the sitting room leads to the carpeted bedroom and closet.
Crosscut travertine 12" x 12" tiles enhance the bath floor.
Crosscut travertine slabs surround the tub and vanity top.
Taupe 2' x 2" tile with a gold metallic and black 2" x 2" tile
border are featured in the shower area.
Kathy planned and
supervised all areas of the project and selected and purchased the
major furnishings. The architect gave her exterior wall plans
and she did the interior space planning.
