Broadwater

The renovation of Broadwater’s midsize coastal primary bathroom began with a clear and personal client wish list: to create a space that feels light, airy and open, with raised ceilings, a window within the shower, a soaking tub, double sinks, distinctive tile work, and most importantly the thoughtful incorporation of their cherished stained-glass window.

To realize these goals, the design reimagined the existing layout by removing an interior wall, allowing the space to open up and accommodate a generous walk-in shower. The shower floor is subtly sloped to a central drain, eliminating visual barriers and reinforcing the room’s clean, uninterrupted lines. An obscured-glass window introduces natural light while preserving privacy, enhancing the connection to the coastal setting.

The shower experience is further elevated through carefully integrated features, including a built-in bench, a recessed niche for bath essentials and a sleek, electronic temperature-controlled wall panel that adds both precision and modern convenience. Material selections and detailing play a central role in defining the space. Quartz solid-surface elements provide durability and refinement. Vintage-inspired light fixtures introduce warmth while gray recessed-panel cabinetry offers subtle contrast against the crisp white walls and vertically oriented tile.

A defining feature of the project is the clients’ colorful stained-glass window, which is thoughtfully positioned on the shared wall between the bathroom and the adjacent primary bedroom. This placement allows the piece to be appreciated from both spaces, serving as a focal point that ties together light, color and personal history, ultimately transforming the bathroom into a serene, functional retreat with a deeply individual character.
