Amsted Design-Build

for Personal Spa — Ottawa

A SPACE TO RELAX AND LUXURIATE

Conducted within the tight confines of the second floor of a condominium—while the homeowner continued to live there and in conjunction with existing condo association rules—this $117,000 project turned a dated, dark, pink 1980s bathroom into the personal spa oasis the single mother client dreamed of.

A large skylight allows natural light to filter through—ideal for makeup application—while other eye-catching features include a deep bathtub, upgraded fixtures and a 62” vanity with a Calacatta Gold quartz countertop and a smoke-coloured penny tile backsplash that perfectly matches the details of the new floor-to-ceiling shower.

Smart touches include retaining the existing plumbing stack (which provided substantial savings to the homeowner) and a secret medicine cabinet built into the underused wall space behind the door.

Oversized porcelain floor tiles bring the space together and maintain the spa-like feel, while all plumbing fixtures are optimized for water efficiency with adjustable waterflow.
