WINNER

Slotegraaf Construction Inc. for The Glass House — St. Agatha

SOLITUDE WITH A VIEW

A white and black palette, ultra-high-end finishes and plumbing fixtures, Scavolini cabinetry and a private balcony all provide luxury, comfort—and occasional solitude from the children—in this dazzling bathroom space. Curtain-wall windows and glass interior doors help capture the view, while at the same time providing physical barriers for privacy and noise. Although not part of the bathroom proper, a showpiece bedside Italian Agape tub is raised on a Neolith underlit platform. Separate water closets face different directions, as per the clients’ requests—one northward for full observation of the property, and the other east, for privacy. Heated toilets with sensors that clean and open upon entry and in-floor hydronic heating (supplemented by forced-air ceiling strip diffusers) increase the comfort factor. There are high-moisture TVs integrated into both vanity mirrors and in both water closets. And the shower needed to be primarily supplied by the well in the pool house, due to the high water volume demands of its six-head options.
