Addition with Hidden Half-bath |
This addition with bathroom replaced an older, poorly built, breakfast nook off the kitchen. The curved bathroom wall converges at the top of the addition’s original arched entry to re-create this space with function and style. This creates the illusion of a hallway rather than a bathroom stuck between two spaces. Once past the bathroom, the space opens it’s sunshine walls, with room for a table and chairs. Two banks of windows take advantage of the eastern and southern exposure.
Beneath the black tiled bathroom floor is a radiant heat system using electric cable on an independent thermostat. Insulated walls reduce the amount of sound transference from the bathroom to the rest of the space and a super energy efficient Panasonic ultra quiet fan moves 70/cubic feet of air per minute out of the bathroom without making a sound. Two awning windows bring light and extra ventilation.
White subway tile is set on end to draw the eye up giving the illusion of a larger space. Cool mint-green walls rise to the ceiling making this small bathroom an oasis. |
