MASTER BATHROOM RE-IMAGINED
Dean Birinyi PHOTOGRAPY
Dean Birinyi PHOTOGRAPY
This New Master Bathroom was created from extra space not used in the Master Bedroom. We shaved off part of the space opposite the view to create a bigger bathroom and a walk-in closet, The floor in the bathroom is made of large 8" x 48" porcelain tiles that look like Driftwood. The new doors are Fir with a clear coat, matching fir trim. The new sink cabinets match the fir and have molded porcelain tops.
Master Bedroom Addition
What better way to wake up then with an open view out to your garden?
This Master Bedroom addition takes advantage of a secluded garden to open out to with accordion folding doors that open all the way back.

Bathroom Solution for Light & Privacy
Having light wash down above the sinks and shower with skylights helps balance out the fact that this huge bathroom only has one window up high to maintain privacy.
FIREPLACE REMODEL
Fireplace after
Fireplace before
Even though the original fireplace was surrounded by old growth redwood, it had no mantel and the redwood was faded around each picture that had been there 50 years. We tried to salvage them & re-finish, but they splintered off. SO sadly, the redwood was removed and a new fireplace with bluestone facade was installed.

This is a working sketch (actually screen shots) for the client to get a better idea of what the structure looks like. It is much easier to imagine the final project then just looking at 2D drawings of the exterior elevations.
More Stairway Shots
The Green carpeting had to go for sure,, but removing the solid guardrails (even thought they were in REDWOOD, opened up the space.
The contractor tried to save the redwood on the old stair and walls, but it splinted when it was removed. The new stairway opens up the whole space.
Stairway Renovation
Even though the stairway before had original redwood paneling from 1954, it was tired looking. It was all enclosed and dark feeling.
The stairway was totally re-built and the upper stair has open see-thru treads bolted onto a stell frame with stainless steel Guardrail by "AGS Stainless". Treads are Fir.
Front Entry Redo
The old front entry and facade were from 1954, totally non descript and void of street appeal.
My solution to give it more street appeal, was to add a focus to the second floor and make the windows symmetrical. Lights were added in the entry soffit, a new frosted glass entry door , a standing seam metal roof was added to replace the tar & gravel and a new "Parkflex" skin was added for visual interest and punch.
DRONE SHOTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
There is nothing quite like getting your own or hiring a drone expert to take some photos of your projects. It captures the surrounding environment and context in a visual clarity, that is hard to not appreciate.
