Before
Designer Sunny Ham was tasked with creating a timeless, unique design with a heating and cooling floor system, all without moving the existing plumbing layout. The client craved marble looks and luxury, as well as low maintenance materials and a Scandinavian flavor. The project faced lead time challenges, especially on European-import materials, as well as the usual COVID-related staffing delays. However, through open communication with vendors, COVID precautions, flexibility on timelines and collaboration with local suppliers to make up for international delays,
the project was brought to successful completion.

After
The new space features a light and bright color palette, with wood- and marble-look floor, wall and ceiling tile setting the zen, natural tone. A radiant heating and cooling system by WarmlyYours was integrated into the floor, creating a luxe experience. LED strip lighting, strategically incorporated into the shower and recessed into wall and ceiling areas, provides a soft glow and a visually striking floating 3-D effect. As a bonus money- and time-saving measure, the existing tub and shower pan were reused for the project.
