Weekend Spotlight: Indoor/Outdoor Living with Chambers + Chambers Architects - Remodelista
When Chambers + Chambers Architects, members of the Remodelista Architect/Designer Directory, won the Remodelista Considered Design Award 2013 for Best Professional Bath Space, we made a note to see more of the 2,800-square-foot house in Mill Valley, California. Photography by John Merkl for Chambers + Chambers Architects.
In Marin County (and points beyond), Mill Valley firm Chambers + Chambers is known for creating houses with elegant proportions and classical details. The ceiling pendant is similar to the Carson Rod Pendant by Rejuvenation, and the Hammered Steel House Numbers are by Rejuvenation.
A Dutch Door leads into the utility hall.
Chambers designed the house to take advantage of the setting (the surrounding landscape includes mature redwoods and a burbling creek).
A similar palette of materials is used throughout, including the kitchen.
The master bath features a custom Calacatta marble topped vanity and recessed medicine cabinets.
The Deck-Mounted Sinks are from Duravit and the plumbing fixtures and accessories are by Lefroy Brooks.
In the shower, a built-in bench has a Calacatta slab surface.
“When we design a bathroom, we make sure the space is filled with light (both natural light and beautiful sconces and pendants), gorgeous materials (such as handmade subway tile and polished-nickel plumbing fixtures), and well-proportioned details,” says Chambers.
The Japanese soaking tub, a Hinoki Ofuro by Sea Otter Woodworks of Haines, Alaska, was inspired by the clients’ travels.
The tub is set in a bed of river stones.
The boys’ bathroom features a large, deck-mounted trough sink and the same paneling as the master bath.
“The bathrooms were a favorite part of this project; they’re not large but they’re beautiful and functional,” Chambers says.
A deck outside the master bedroom (with a wood-framed armchair from the Relais Modular Collection of Janus + Cie) overlooks the redwoods.
The one-story floor plan shows the relationship of the open-living area with the outside. In 10 Architect-Designed Spa Spaces, we show you our favorite examples of residential baths inspired by a Japanese aesthetic. Read more
