Four Brothers Design + BuildGreg Hadley Photography
Project Overview: This full house remodel included two and a half bathrooms, a master suite, kitchen, and exterior. On the initial visit to this Mt. Pleasant row-house in Washington DC, the clients expressed several goals to us. Our job was to convert the basement apartment into a guest suite, re-work the first floor kitchen, dining, and powder bathroom, and re-do the master suite to include a new bathroom. Like many Washington DC Row houses, the rear part of the house was cobbled together in a series of poor renovations. Between the two of them, the original brick rear wall and the load-bearing center wall split the rear of the house into three small rooms on each floor. Not only was the layout poor, but the rear part of the house was falling apart, breezy with no insulation, and poorly constructed.
Design and Layout: One of the reasons the clients hired Four Brothers as their design-build remodeling contractor was that they liked the designs in our remodeling portfolio. We entered the design phase with clear guidance from the clients – create an open floor plan. This was true for the basement, where we removed all walls creating a completely open space with the exception of a small water closet. This serves as a guest suite, where long-term visitors can stay with a sense of privacy. It has it’s own bathroom and kitchenette, as well as closets and a sleeping area. The design called for completely removing and re-building the rear of the house. This allowed us to take down the original rear brick wall and interior walls on the first and second floors. The first floor has the kitchen in the center of the house, with one tall wall of cabinetry and a kitchen island with seating in the center. A powder bathroom is on the other side of the house. The dining room moved to the rear of the house, with large doors opening onto a new deck. Also in the back, a floating staircase leads to a rear entrance. On the second floor, the entire back of the house was turned onto a master suite. One closet contains a washer and dryer. Clothes storage is in custom fabricated wardrobes, which flank an open concept bathroom. The bed area is in the back, with large windows across the whole rear of the house. The exterior was finished with a paneled rain-screen.
Style and Finishes: In all areas of the house, the clients chose contemporary finishes. The basement has more of an industrial look, with commercial light fixtures, exposed brick, open ceiling joists, and a stained concrete floor. Floating oak stairs lead from the back door to the kitchen/dining area, with a white bookshelf acting as the safety barrier at the stairs. The kitchen features white cabinets, and a white countertop, with a waterfall edge on the island. The original oak floors provide a warm background throughout. The second floor master suite bathroom is a uniform mosaic tile, and white wardrobes match a white vanity.
Construction and Final Product: This remodeling project had a very specific timeline, as the homeowners had rented a house to live in for six months. This meant that we had to work very quickly and efficiently, juggling the schedule to keep things moving. As is often the case in Washington DC, permitting took longer than expected. Winter weather played a role as well, forcing us to make up lost time in the last few months. By re-building a good portion of the house, we managed to include significant energy upgrades, with a well-insulated building envelope, and efficient heating and cooling system.
Haus Interior DesignThis bathroom is teeny tiny, and we couldn't change the original footprint. But using quality materials and light finishes made it feel new and bright, and perfectly suited to the elegance of the house. Beveled white tile, lots of Carrara marble, polished nickel fixtures, and period sconces all played a role in this spectacular facelift.

Jasmine McClelland DesignWith the downstairs en suite we decided to create a fresh and neutral bathroom, using a simple white tile with a geometric pattern to create some interest. The vanity was designed large enough to house all the essentials in a light oak finish, to keep things warm and textural.
Bathroom with a Submerged Bath and a Submerged Sink Ideas and Designs
Whether you’re doing a bathroom renovation or just a refresh; making your bathroom design brighter, cleaner and more attractive will make you feel happier to use it every day. If your bathroom is a small space in your home where you don’t spend much time, it’s time to think about alternatives. Browse the pictures to find inspiring bathroom ideas on Houzz, including stylish vanities, fancy toilets, taps, shower tiling, as well as storage ideas for small bathrooms. 
Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. 
The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. 
How do I find bathroom ideas for my renovation?
If you’re starting your bathroom renovation from scratch, or ripping out and starting again, then once you’ve sorted the plan and the plumbing you’ll need to think about what kind of ideas you’d like. The easiest option is to get inspiration from bathroom professionals. However, if you’ve dreamt of a roll-top bath or a walk-in shower with heating at, then you might want to take longer looking for each item individually. Choosing all white elements will obviously tie everything together, but also think about the style you’re going for – ultra modern taps will clash with traditional Victorian-style wash basins. And it’s probably good to consider your flooring or surfaces, and walls to make sure everything will complement. Take a look through the different styles of bathroom designs on Houzz to get some inspiration. How do I select the right bathroom decor & furniture?
Selecting bathroom decor such as cabinets, mirrors, shelves or other furniture for bathrooms can be tricky. You want to consider the storage they offer while also making sure they make an attractive feature as you enter your bathroom. Don’t forget you need them to be durable and withstand the damp conditions, e.g. if you’re going for a painted cabinet make sure the paint is suitable for baths. For medicine cabinets you will find most have mirrored fronts, but you can find extra features such as clocks and shaving sockets built-in.What bathroom storage ideas should I look at?
While bathroom storage ideas is not the first thing you think of when it comes to bathrooms, you’ll be surprised at how much difference it makes when your bathroom is organised – specially if you’re dealing with a small bathroom, this is essential. We all know how accessories like bottles, toiletries, lotions and potions can pile up next to the bath. And where to put the cotton buds, painkillers, plasters, other medicine, creams and sanitary products? That’s not even considering using your bathroom as a place to store your towels and bathrobes. The first thing to consider when reviewing bathroom ideas is if you can invest in built-in bathroom storage. Large vanity units will have drawers and compartments to store a great number of toiletries and bathroom necessities, and if your bathroom or cloakroom has room for a built-in cupboard you can start storing small accessories and larger items there. If you can’t do anything on this scale, you could investigate built-in storage around the bath or look at less permanent options. Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. What's the best ideas for lighting?
Water and electricity don’t mix, so make sure your bathroom lights are safe, first and foremost. There are actually regulations around what type of light fittings you can use and where – IP67 rating lights for submerged areas e.g. inside baths and sinks (Zone 0); IP65 for any area above a shower or bath (Zone 1); and IP44 rating for anything 0.6m from a bath or basin (Zone 2). After you’ve made sure your light fittings are safe and to-code, you can consider the type and style you’d like as your working through your bathroom ideas. The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. Bathroom tiles – what should I go for?
It’s rare to find bathrooms without tiles. Although it can be done with panelling, materials like tadelakt, waterproof paint, wallpaper or well-treated wood; bathroom tiles are so copious and easy to apply that it’s hard to avoid going with tiles in the bathroom. The great thing is that both floor tiles and wall tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, styles, colours and patterns, so you can remodel your room completely with whatever tile choices fit with your bathroom ideas. When it comes to flooring, tiles will be durable, easy to clean and deal well with water, but if you want something different you could go with modern concrete, traditional or country-style treated wooden floorboards, or a bit more quirky bamboo, cork or vinyl. What to do with small bathrooms?
The best small bathroom ideas will maximise the space you have. From installing a bidet to simple decorative tips there are plenty of things you can do to make it look bigger. Recessed shelves can make a huge difference both visually and practically to small bathrooms, so if you are able to have these installed when your walls are being renovated you could add some to your shower or sink area. You could choose pale colours and iridescent tiles that reflect the light, keep walls and ceilings the same colour and texture, and use complementary shades throughout the bathroom– fewer contrasts and transitions will help maintain the sense of space. Floating bathroom units also draw the eye to visible floor space underneath them, and clear glass shower screens will keep the room feeling open and airy. Finishing touches like artfully placed large mirrors will also make small bathrooms appear more expansive.7
