September 9 - Phasing

Some more photos, showing the current conditions of the master bedroom and bathroom. The current owner is an elderly woman who lives by herself.

The clients are interested in something altogether different. More urban yet calmer, with earthy colors and cozy textures. Looking ahead into Phase 2, we talked about the possibility of opening up the attic above to create a dramatic high-ceiling bedroom.

On a practical note, the bathroom will require some fundamental reconfiguration and plumbing work in Phase 2. Right now only the toilet and shower are enclosed. The bathroom feels more utilitarian than relaxing. Also, the sink is in an awkward area, along a carpeted hallway between the bedroom and bathroom.
