Grey terrazzo set the terms for everything else in this room. Demolition took the bath to studs, which allowed rerouted supply and waste, a new curbed shower pan, full waterproofing of the wet walls, and blocking framed for a wall-hung vanity. Speckled terrazzo now runs across the floor, into the shower base, and up as a chair-height wainscot, met above by cream tile in a vertical stacked set.
We wanted the room to feel taller than its footprint. One frameless glass panel keeps the sightline running the full length, the plank ceiling draws warmth overhead, and a skylight set into the shower ceiling drops daylight where the room needed it most.
Ten weeks later, bathing, showering, and storage each hold their own place, and RP Restoration continues to stand behind every detail.
Everything else here started at the ceiling. Wood-look porcelain plank was furred out, dry-laid for a continuous grain run, carried around the skylight shaft, then turned vertical as a field behind the freestanding tub. A wall-mounted filler feeds the tub, while the shower runs a ceiling rain head, a wall head, and a handheld off one matte black valve set.
Every decision after that answered to one question, how the household actually moves through a narrow room. Controls sit clear of the spray so nothing needs reaching through cold water, the handheld hangs low for rinsing and cleanup, and hanging the vanity leaves terrazzo unbroken beneath it.
Handover covered sealed terrazzo, a balanced exhaust run, pressure-tested valves, and a documented punch list closed inside a week.
