The Seattle Haven: Refined Living, Defined
A Medina master bathroom designed as a refined private retreat — dark wood, white marble, matte-black plumbing, and a freestanding sculptural tub set against the most considered light in the house.
This project’s centerpiece is the vanity: a dark wooden base supporting a pristine white marble countertop, detailed with dual undermount sinks and sleek matte-black fixtures. Ceiling-height mirrors are flanked by vertical pendant lights in black-and-gold finishes, creating an ambiance that reads as both crisp and luxurious.
The spacious walk-in shower, enclosed in frameless glass, enhances the open feel of the space while adding sophistication. High-end black plumbing fixtures and a marble-lined niche balance aesthetics and function. The freestanding tub is the room’s emotional anchor — a sculptural statement that suggests serene escape every time the door is closed behind you.
Sophistication in Marble and Black
Large-format tiles with marble texture cover the floors and walls, expanding the visual space while maintaining a continuous material flow. The eye doesn’t catch on seams or transitions — the bath reads as one composed surface from corner to corner.
Hardware was specified in a single matte-black finish throughout the room. The faucets, the towel bars, the cabinet pulls — all from the same family, sized correctly for their hosts. The unified finish keeps the room cohesive while the materials underneath do the heavy lifting.
The Work Begins With One Conversation
We hold a limited number of consultations each month and are selective about the projects we take on. If you’re ready to discuss yours, we’d like to hear about it.

Drama Without Heaviness
A bathroom built around dark wood and black hardware can quickly tip toward heavy or oppressive. The challenge was injecting drama and contrast while keeping the room feeling spacious, breathable, and genuinely restful — a place to start and end the day, not a stage set.
The solution was light: ceiling-height mirrors that double the perceived volume, white marble that throws light back into the room, and large-format tile that resists visual clutter. The contrast between dark base and bright surfaces creates depth without weight.
“The most refined bathrooms aren’t busy. They simply do one thing — quiet luxury — with complete commitment.”
Seamless Integration of Space and Style
The design process started with the vanity — its proportions, its material relationships, and its position in the room. Every other decision followed from that anchor. When the vanity is right, the rest of the bathroom resolves itself in service of it.
The freestanding tub became the second anchor. Placed for visual balance against the vanity, sized to the room’s footprint, and surrounded by enough negative space to feel like a destination rather than a fixture. The shower was tucked behind frameless glass to keep the room’s sightlines clean from any angle.
Vertical pendant fixtures in black-and-gold flank the mirrors and provide warm task lighting at the vanity. Recessed ceiling fixtures handle ambient illumination. Together they give the room three usable lighting modes without ever feeling over-lit or theatrical.
