The scope of this project was to take a room shell with existing plumbing lines and create an efficient floor plan and space plan a newlywed couple would enjoy.
The room was designed to feel fresh, light, and clean and to appeal to a wide range of couples. It was designed to give the couple a rich and luxurious experience with features such as a large shower, large jacuzzi tub, two-person chaise, fireplace, and custom water feature.
This suite is a responsible and sustainable space. The carpet tiles are Leed certified and are less wasteful since it's easier to replace damaged sections. I specified Cradle-to-Cradle Gold Certified IceStone countertops made with recycles glass and VOC-free ingredients. The backsplash is hand-made with a 40% recyclable content. I chose bamboo for its hardwearing and sustainable qualities. I specified the Tuxedo Double Chaise and Side Chair because of their FSC certified wood frame, recycled steel hardware, non-toxic finish and adhesives, and natural latex cushions in organic wool wrap. The paint is also low VOC.
The most unique feature in the suite is the water feature behind the flat screen TV, The TV is mounted on a sheet of clear acrylic that extends 6" from the wall. The electrical for the TV is enclosed in a waterproof acrylic cylinder for safety. Near the top and bottom of the wall are the fountain and return mechanisms (whihc are faced in tiger strand bamboo), so that the water flows down behind the TV. The fountain can be used whether the TV is on or off.
The fireplace and bathroom walls are faced in IceStone, which also makes the space easier to clean since it eliminates most of the grout.
